It's a slam-bang opening for the 1958 series. Mc Queen (Josh) shows his athletic skills and hard-eyed glare, though he does get knocked around too. So can he bring back the two robbers to the Las Tunas sheriff and prove his innocence in helping them escape jail. He better, otherwise future cowboy icons Michael Landon (Carl) and Nick Adams (Andy) will miss out on big careers in Bonanza and The Rebel, respectively. Wow, what an up-and-coming cast. And catch Josh's short-barreled rifle, a common type gimmick used to separate cowboy heroes from their many competitors of the time. Note too, how the baddie brothers are humanized in brotherly fashion, a good unexpected feaure. Anyway, Steve shows he's an ace with more than just fast cars and fast women. So do tune in to this hard charger now streaming on both two legs and four.
