Father and son Henry Jones and David Ladd meet the Wagon Train and seeing
that they get passage is none other than the sheriff of their town. When the
law give you a sendoff you know that suspicions will be raised.
So they are and they're not helped any by the fact that Jones is surly and taciturn and not one bit friendly to anyone. In the meantime Vivi Janiss who is a middle age woman with no children befriends Ladd and she's convinced that Jones is mistreating him. Young David could also be the answer to a prayer about not being blessed with kids of her own.
A trip to that town made by Denny Miller and Frank McGrath yield explanations as to the issues involving Jones and Ladd. Young David does have some mother issues that are not completely explained. Still the truth is miles from what the gossip mongers thought.
A little tightening on the plot could have made it a top drawer Wagon Train episode.
