Elfego Baca

Friendly Enemies at Law (1x9)

Date de diffusion: Mar 18, 1960

In the ninth episode of Walt Disney's ten-part miniseries Elfego Baca, frontier lawyer Baca accepts a stallion in payment for helping beleagured cattleman Frank Oxford. It seems that Rauls Kettrick, the town boss of Taota, refuses to return 50 head of Oxford's cattle which "wandered" onto Kettrick's land. Pursuing the case through the proper legal channels, Baca obtains a warrant to search Kettrick's property, but the warrant is not honored--and Taota's only lawyer, who is in Kettrick's pocket, refuses to take action. Thus it is that Baca must rely upon the strategies of his gunslinging days to bring justice to the situation.
