Gilbert Roland was an outstanding actor with leading man credits dating back to the silent era. He had a tremendous screen presence and was good in anything he did. Roland not only appears in this WT episode, but he also wrote the story for it.
Bernal Sierra (Roland) is saved from execution by other Juaristas and sets out to the United States to find some stolen gold, along with the treacherous Gringo gun runners who betrayed him and the cause to the French. He finds them on Major Adams' wagon train. They are the three Reardon brothers, Casey (Louis Jean Heydt), Hughie (Lane Bradford), and Art (James Dobson). Sierra also finds the widow of his murdered friend, Perdita (Charlita), now married to Casey Reardon. Sierra figures they have the stolen gold hidden somewhere, but how to find it? Will Perdita help him, or is she out for herself? There's a lot of conflict between Sierra and the Reardons. Can the Major keep them from killing each other? And just how do these tricky Reardons plan to dispose of that gold? It's a real mystery and the bad guys' final plan is a real work of art.
I just watched The Bernal Sierra Story episode this Friday afternoon on MeTV. It's one of my favorite WT episodes. Be sure to watch it when you can.
