Post Description

Deze westernserie draaide 14 seizoenen. (1959-1973) Er werden in totaal 435 afleveringen gemaakt. Deze rouleren als AVI-bestanden op usenet. Ondertiteling ontbreekt. 

Van seizoen 1 t/m 7 (235 afleveringen) heb ik Engelstalige versies gevonden en daar (per vijf of zes afleveringen in een simpel menuutje) een DVD van gemaakt. Een cover zit er ook bij. 
Seizoen 8 t/m 14 (200 afleveringen) is alleen Duits gesproken.

Let op: er is dus GEEN Nederlandse ondertiteling!!!


Season 13, Episode 11: The Rattlesnake Brigade
Original Air Date 5 December 1971
In the series' 400th episode, Jamie and three of his schoolmates - Lester, Judith and Roberto - are kidnapped after church by the nefarious Doyle gang, whom escaped from a wagon carrying them to prison. Doyle plans to use the teens as bargaining tools to ensure that the authorities will enable his gang's escape to Mexico. After Doyle makes his demands and warns that any attempts by the Cartwrights to interfere will result in the teens' deaths, Ben comes up with a plan to rescue Jamie and his friends, but is constantly undermined by the father of one of the boys, whose plan would surely result in death. Only after the teens' own attempt to escape fails (resulting in Lester being killed) does the father agree to go along with Ben's plan, which ultimately is successful.
