One of the most memorable episodes of Wagon Train is this one, a frontier version of Abie's Irish Rose. It's highly fitting that the patriarchs of the Levy
and McGowan clans are Leo Fuchs of the Yiddish Theater and Liam Redmond of
the Abbey Theater players.
As in the famous play that seemed to run forever on Broadway back in the day the two fathers can't stand each other, but their kids Lory Patrick as Fuchs's daughter and Gary Vinson as Redmond's son fall in love, but have to overcome a lot.
One thing the whole Wagon Train has to overcome is Paul Birch who has bought some land astride the entrance of a pass that John McIntire wants to take the Train through. Birch wants to charge some outrageous toll per wagon on land he might not really own.
Leo Fuchs who at first didn't want to fight, decides to fight and gives an inspiring speech to the pilgrims traveling west. Fuchs and Redmond both represented the Dreamers of the 19th century. A lot of people should listen to what he says.
