The Rough Old Days

Warning: Spoilers
In the colonial era of an America struggling to free herself, Daniel and his half-English half-Indian friend Mingo meet up with a French theatrical company which they use as a front to transport gold over to the American side.

In this episode, Robert Wolders co-stars as a spurned young man who turns his allegiance over to the British side to help capture Boone and the gold, and to ruin his former employer and his convoy.

What I love about Daniel Boone is that this is your traditional knock 'em out Western. In the final sequence, Mingo performs an Opera before the British catch on to what is happening. In a two fisted finale, Mingo, Daniel and a coalition of a couple of American troops and a couple of the French theater men prevail in fisticuffs against the British troops. Then Mingo is propositioned to join the company, all while in the background, the American troops carry off the unconscious British troops one by one.

If you haven't had the privilege of discovering this show, might I suggest you give it a look? It is not to be missed. :-)

really good ep

Maurice Evans and Mingo truly make this a great ep. Mingo sings in a few eps, but does quite a bit in this one as well as some great theatre type acting. Maurice Evans was a truly exceptional actor, and once you get past the french accent which I found not to be too good, this was a great ep.
