Chester rides off on a two week vacation to visit his cousin and go fishing, but he manages to cause trouble on the way there. Chester stops off at a farm to drink some water, and as he is saying hello to Callie Dell (Jena Engstrom), he sees and Indian (Eddie Little Sky), and shoots him in the back. Eddie Little Sky could have been working on the farm, or he could have been a Mexican worker or visitor.
Callie immediately gets hysterical, because she had been trying to help Eddie escape from the local Indian Reservation, and their tracker, Simeon (Gary Walberg, who later worked as the Police Lieutenant on Quincy, M.E.). Callie is also afraid that her father (Karl Swenson) and brother (Lew Brown) will kill Eddie if they find out Callie is in love with him.
Callie is supposed to be a teenager, and Lew Brown is supposed to be her slightly older brother, but Brown is 38 years old at the time of filming. Meanwhile, Karl Swenson is at his best playing small-minded selfish jerks, racists, and psychopaths, and here he is all three. He hates Indians, he has Callie locked up in the house because he does not want her to meet any men (and leave her home-servitude as the family maid), and he is riding the prairie hoping to kill the Indian.
Chester is forced to take Eddie out into the woods and care for his gunshot for several days. There goes his vacation. As Chester cares for Eddie, he becomes his friend. Meanwhile Callie is visiting Eddie every day, in spite of her father stalking her all the time. Eddie finally gets better, and Chester lets him ride away with his horse, his saddle, and his rifle. It seems like Chester felt guilty that he shot Eddie, and wanted to help him escape too. Callie is broken hearted, because she wanted to go with Eddie, and he rejected her.
Overall, this is another example of a story for the 30 minute format that was stretched out by adding a lot of dialogue and no action. Nothing happened. Eddie does not really become friends with Chester or Callie. As he rides off, he just looks at them and shrugs. He is never going to see them again, and he has just wants to get the hell away from them and all the other white people.
Kathleen Hite wrote this story, and so while there is no happy ending, at least everyone did not die, as is usually the case when John Meston is the writer.
