With the promise of a lot of gold, Will tries to delay their departure in the hopes he can save everyone's life including his relatives, Ben Cartwright and his sons." Written by DrDOS on IMDb.com
Reviews:
"Guy Williams appears to be enjoying his part as a guest- star in a solid,action-packed show with plenty of fighting and shooting.Worth seeing. I read somewhere that Williams was in 5 episodes while Pernell Roberts hemmed and hawed on staying or quitting the show. I think that Williams brings a lot more life into his role as 'Will Cartwright' than Roberts seems to put into the bland 'Adam Cartwright'. This episode has a few slow spots but all in all I give it an 8." Written by richardskranium on IMDb.com

The Bonanza Show intended to fill Pernell's place with Guy Williams, because Pernell was ready to move on to other things. But, Pernell changed his mind, and extended his contract, so Guy was dropped from the show. Guy is one of the few people who could replace Pernell Roberts, with a smooth transition.

[@wiseguymaybe]

Poor Guy Williams had been planned to take over for Pernell Roberts who was quitting the show, but at the last moment Pernell decided to stay on another year. I think Guy got ripped off. It would have been great for him and Pernell hated the show from day one and wanted to do movies. No offence to ranch hand Candy, (David Canary) cousin Will Cartwright would have been a great replacement and it would still have been all in the family..

[@terrycoyle9791]

I liked Will but Candy was the best fill in. He really fit in.

[@tobe1207]

I liked Candy. I liked that he wasn't family, he Chose to be loyal to the cartwrights

[@fastguned]

I did not like Candy or Will at all. Especially Will. Adam was not replaceable and it was too bad Pernell Roberts was a fool and left the show just because he thought he could do Shakespeare, stop calling Ben his PA and take off that wig. The only thing he did of any significance after Bonanza was to do a show about a bald headed man whose name was stolen from M.A.S.H.

[@bidendidbadstuffasvp8067]

Beautiful Julie Sommars!

[@adrianovasconcelos2739]

By the time this episode was made, Pernell Roberts had already announced his decision to leave the show. Guy Williams, playing the part of Ben Cartwright's nephew, was supposed to replace Adam - the two men look a great deal alike - , who would probably be the unfortunate victim of some ambush to explain his retirement from the series. You can see in this episode that Adam hardly appears, is always being told to do some secondary task, and in the end he rides beautiful Sommars to town while Will replaces him going back into the Ponderosa house with Ben, Hoss and Joe. Pity that Roberts decided to leave, he cut a very charismatic character and the series never really recovered from his loss.

[@trwent]

Michael Landon demanded that Guy Williams leave the show out of petty jealousy. Landon was a small man in more ways than one.

Why do they do gunfights like this? They think that the audience doesn't understand the concept of surrounding a house? Sure, with limited cameras and film, it's cheaper for everyone to be in a line. And then all of the Cartwrights stand up to show their positions. The hostages, don't try leaving out the back door. It was a good story. A bit tough to make stringing them along believable but this is supposed to be the climax. How did people receive this when it was made? The audience just doesn't care?

I expected Will to leave a clue in the house. Like, he could have palmed something from the safe and left it in Ben's desk. Ben would think that was odd, a message of some kind, but not know what. Or left anything personal. Or even a streak of blood. It would have made sense for him to leave his saddle bags because the thieves don't know that it's his, unless there's something identifying in it.
