There's this B western called Copper Sky with the same plot premise where the only survivor of a massacre is Jeff Morrow who is locked up in jail. The Cartwrights returning to Virginia City also discover that Tina Louise a woman separated from her husband has been captured by the Paiutes.
There's history between Louise and the man in jail in this case Steve Forrest. And thereby hangs more of the premise on which this fine Bonanza episode is based.
The Cartwrights and Forrest show some real character. Lorne Greene devises a plan of rescue that is similar to what John Wayne does in She Wore A Yellow Ribbon. If you've seen that you know what happens to the Paiutes.
One fine story.
