Quotes
Jug Herriot: So here we are in Laredo and there's nine of us and three of them... and this town is ripe. Nobody ever tried it before because there were to many Rangers here, but there ain't too many Rangers here now and the border is just a spit and a whistle away. I say let's take it! Let's clean out the town! Hmm?
Charlie Stamp: Tom? Sam?
Jug Herriot: All right, on one condition - I get Joe Riley.
Charlie Stamp: I think I'd like to try Cooper.
Jug Herriot: Heh-heh. Not on your best day, Charlie.
Charlie Stamp: He's mine.
Jug Herriot: Well, it's your hide. You, ah, want one of us to call his name so you get a better look at his back?

Kurt Russell, Kid Ranger!

After rounding up some horse thieves, Chad (Peter Brown) and Joe (William Smith) happen upon a wayward Native American Indian boy. It's 14-year-old Kurt Russell (as Grey Smoke) made-up to look like an Indian; he is wearing a dark wig, headband, and a few feathers in his hair. Instead of turning him in, the Rangers, especially Joe, take him under their wings. Joe bathes with the "young Indian buck" (separate tubs). Chad and Joe bring him to Capt. Parmalee (Philip Carey), who agrees to make him a Kid Ranger. When a gang of nine cutthroat gunslingers arrive in Laredo, Ranger Russell is ready for action!

This episode portends another interesting theory on the series' trouble. Perhaps Neville Brand did not work well with his co-stars; for whatever reasons, he really hadn't fully participated with them in the last five aired episodes. This time Mr. Brand appears to have been inserted briefly, in the opening scenes; note that "Reese" is only seen with his back to the camera in the opening scenes. This was probably a stand-in for Brand, who must have recorded his close-ups separately.
