GILLIGAN'S ISLAND in the Old West starring Bob Denver! Just as the castaways spent every episode trying to get off the island, in DUSTY'S TRAIL they struggle to find their way out of the wilderness on the Oregon Trail.
PHONY EXPRESS: A wounded soldier clamps a pouch onto Dusty's wrist, tells him to deliver it to Ford Hood, and to protect it with his life. Bad guy Bates shows up at the camp demanding the pouch, but its empty. Everyone makes up a story of how they swiped the contents to keep Bates from shooting them.
