Branded: The Mission, Part 3 (1965)

Synopsis of Branded: The Mission, Part 3

In the conclusion of a three-part story, Jason McCord (Chuck Connors) manages to lure a gang of Mexican bandits into a trap at a US Army post, as part of his undercover mission on behalf of President Grant. Unfortunately, Jason is unable to convince the post's commanding officer Major Whitcomb (Wendell Corey), that he himself is not a bandit. Savoring the opportunity of executing "the coward of Bitter Creek", Whitcomb turns down McCord's demand to contact the President's office in Washington--and as time runs short, Jason must place his life is in the hands of the condemned Mexicans, the only ones in the fort who know the whole story. Unlike the rest of Branded's first-season episodes, "The Mission" was filmed in color (though whether or not it was originally broadcast in color is still a matter of dispute). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
