Bonanza #1966

When Hop Sing’s cousin and his fiancée are taken by mysterious hatchet men working for her stepfather, the Cartwrights spring into action—only to be captured themselves while tracking the kidnappers. With Adam and the sheriff racing to free them, the brothers must rely on courage and quick thinking to survive a deadly game of ambush and evasion in the rugged frontier.

In "The Mestenera," the Cartwrights find themselves stranded after Charro Pete’s gang steals their horses, leading to a tense capture and a desperate journey on foot. With help from the Rico family, they ride to Virginia City, where a shocking mistake threatens to hang Sarita’s father—mistaken for the outlaw Charro Pete—before Ben can clear the truth.

In the rugged frontier of 1966, the Cartwrights race against time and rival Tom Bannerman to deliver vital lumber for the railroad, each determined to claim the title of "bull of the woods." When Bannerman sabotages their skid road with dynamite, the brothers adapt with a daring overhead transfer rig—only for the sabotage to escalate. Amid the chaos, a bear attack turns the tide, and Hoss’s quick action saves Bannerman’s life, leading to an unexpected moment of respect from the rival.

In "The Living Nightmare," Hoss Cartwright’s newly acquired camel becomes an unexpected force of chaos when its scent sends both livestock and people into a frenzy. With the neighbors demanding its removal, Hoss reluctantly takes the beast into the desert to set it free—only to stumble upon a wagon train under siege, where the camel’s presence proves crucial in turning the tide against the attackers.
