Free Western Series: Bonanza - Episode 110 - The Deadly Ones - Mexican freedom fighters loyal to Benito Juárez take over the Ponderosa, gravely wound Little Joe, and force Ben to guide them to a wagon train loaded with gold being smuggled to California by Emperor Maximilian.
The Deadly Ones
Director: William Witney
Writers: Denne Bart Petitclerc (teleplay) (as Denne Petitclerc), N.B. Stone Jr. (story)
Stars: Lorne Greene, Pernell Roberts, Dan Blocker
Genre: Western
Country: USA
Language: English
Release Date: 2 December 1962 USA
Filming Locations: Stage 17, Paramount Studios - 5555 Melrose Avenue, Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA
Storyline:
Will Kuluva guest-stars as General Diaz, a self-styled Mexican patriot who raids gold shipments in order to finance his campaign against the Emperor Maximillian. Taking the Cartwrights hostage, Juarez forces Ben to assist in the robbery of a gold wagon. At first hostile towards Diaz, Ben comes to respect and admire the General's sincerity and idealism-qualities lacking in his hired henchmen, one of whom, a mercenary sadist named Forsythe (Leo Gordon), has already shot Joe Cartwright in the back. Figuring prominently in the storyline is a young Diaz follower named Sims (Lee Farr) and his erstwhile sweetheart Molly (Jena Engstrom). Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
"For his fans Leo Gordon is at his meanest and nastiest in this Bonanza story about a Juarista general played by Will Kulava who takes over the Ponderosa while all the hands and Adam and Hoss are away on a cattle drive. Michael Landon is wounded and Lorne Greene reluctantly agrees to guide the Juaistas to the Mexican border.
Kulava is a true patriot, but his second in command is Gordon who has a mean and sadistic streak who doesn't really have to shoot Little Joe but does. He's got his own plans for the gold and his own plans in the best Snidely Whiplash tradition for Jena Engstrom a woman just caught up in all this.
A bit far fetched, but a well played drama." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

Don't get me wrong, I'm a bonafide Bonanza fanatic, having watched all 431 episodes at least twice. I only wish that more attention was paid to Plot Logistics. This is the third episode that treats the journey to Mexico from The Ponderosa as a sort of casual ride. In fact, the Mexican border is at least 600 miles from North Lake Tahoe. A good horse would only be good for 30 or so miles of consecutive days' riding...making it about a 3 week trip. One way. And the gold in this episode was stolen from Mexico and on it's way to Europe...so which way were they going? To San Francisco and take a Clipper Ship around the Horn? Or head up to the Oregon Territories and hang a right to the East Coast? Anyway, I still Love the Show. One of the Best Westerns, crossing all genres, of All Time. Thank You for posting..

About Leo Gordon (who played Forsythe) director Don Siegel said “Leo Gordon was the scariest man I have ever ever met.”, and Siegel had directed John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies. In real life before acting he had served 5 years in San Quentin for Armed Robbery, where he was shot several times by police at point blank range but survived. He deserved his fearsome reputation and, before discovering his past, as a child I always thought he had a terrifyingly evil look about him. He was well cast here.

Bonanza fan though I am, I have to agree with what some hombre said below. There are more holes in this plot than buckshot in the good General's body. To begin, that has to be the most cackhanded hold up scene in western history. The wagon was a sitting duck with all the soldats in single cluster around the wagon and el Generale still managed to lose most of his men in the assault. And Forsythe and Pablo the inveterate baddies could have walked in and taken out the whole lot in under 2 minutes at any time they chose. Instead they chose to negotiate endlessly with Sims who clearly had more good than bad in him.

Why don't they have more realistic ambushes? Just to keep everything in one close-up frame? Fewer camera setups? Who would bunch up together to protect a weapon? Who would plan to ambush a wagon by riding up on horseback with six-shooters rather than from protected positions with rifles? Especially since they just stole a dozes from the Cartwrights. It's a bit disappointing that this became the Western standard. There should be advance riders that you let pass and trailing riders to contend with. Have to put more thought into a workable plan from both sides. A true ambush would be simultaneous but for TV, make it sequential. Presumably you first shoot the driver and guard. At the sound of the shot, the leading men quickly move, so the first shot misses them, and they spin around to hunt the attackers. Another man jumps onto the driver's seat while other try to cover him. The men in the rear accelerate but go wide to attack the attackers.... How would you write it? The gun for hire cuts open the canvas that's hiding the secret? But they still need to sneak it into Mexico... Then the general cuts open the sack... :) 42:43 How could he not hear the door opening? That was silly! It was nice idea the being given that much time to decide if he's in or not was tiresome. The final shootout was much better, more dynamic. I would have liked to see Ben or the last gun or both promise to the general (just before he died) that they would return the gold to Mexico. A ridiculous premise that the gold would travel from Mexico, north to the ponderosa (Lake Tahoe, near Carson City & Reno, Nevada) and then south to San Francisco. Maximillian controlled land on both coasts but far south of the border, which was about in the same place in 1862 as it is now. No reason to go through SF to get to Europe (France), unless he stole it from a government bank close to the border. But also wouldn't really "buy Mexico its freedom" because it was originally their money. But that doesn't really matter.

I saw an interview with one of the producers here on KZfaq discussing Bonanza's actor and crew. He finally admitted that Pernell was a problem actor. He was constantly complaining about the "low-level" story lines. He thought himself too good to play the role. It shows every time he's on camera. It's not just the character he plays, you can see he'd rather not be there. The same thing happened on the Virginian with Lee Cobb (another professional snob too good for the show he contracted with). James Drury spoke of how his bad attitude made it difficult to work on set. Pernell was the same, always threatening to leave. Thankfully he finally got out of his obligation to the show and the true brotherly affection Michael and Dan shared became the glue that kept the show in the upper numbers for six years. Michael really came in to his own as a writer and director through the show. You could see how towards the end of the series the episodes began to reflect more social issues of the day. It became more than a western and had the potential to grow into something more. If Pernell had humbled himself and followed Landon's example maybe he would have been able to write and direct and make the stories he thought he deserved. Unfortunately, Dan's passing brought an end to the show, people loved Dan and Michael together. That's what caused the numbers to drop and the show to end.
