Fort Laramie: Woman at Horse Creek

While out on patrol after an Indian uprising, Captain Lee Quince and his men come across a woman digging a grave. After learning her husband died from gangrene the day before, they realize she is suddenly alone in a desolated location with no nearby help or assistance.

A charitable act by the men ends up having dire consequences in a story with a cruel twist.

A very raw and adult script written by Kathleen Hite, who wrote 29 of the 40 Fort Laramie episodes.

Featuring: Raymond Burr, Virginia Christine, John Dehner, Barney Phillips, Jack Moyles, Harry Bartell, Vic Perrin

Original Air Date: February 12, 1956 on CBS
