Joe Cartwright and his friend Tuck (Warren Vanders) vie for the attentions of pretty Easterner Lucy Melviney (Brenda Scott), a sheltered young girl whose view of the world has been formed by the romantic literature she reads. When Lucinda is targeted for abduction by a renegade band of Paiutes, Joe and Tuck are determined to protect the girl from the harsh truths of the real world. Complicating matters is the fact that the renegades are led by Joe's boyhood chum Sharp Tongue (X Brands). Written by Mort R.

This episode offers a fascinating glimpse into the mindset of American war correspondents, some of whom regarded themselves as "above" such inconveniences as following military protocol and remaining within established Allied perimeters. When reckless American photographer Eleanora Hunt (Elizabeth Allen) becomes stranded in "No Man's Land," Hanley (Rick Jason) is ordered to bring her back. His task is made even more difficult by the fact that Eleanor seems to regard WW2 merely as an opportunity for her own professional advancement, thus putting the lives of her would-be rescuers in serious jeopardy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
