Original Story Title: 'The Losers'

Renegade Indians have been on the rampage attacking settlers and raising havoc in the West. Joe and Hoss have gone to warn the settlers when Joe is shot with an arrow. Hoss tries to remove the arrow, but the shaft breaks and it is imbedded in Joe's shoulder, leaving Joe gravely wounded. Hoss desperately searches for help and comes upon a wagon train with an odd assortment of people. There are two women, a thief, a dying doctor, and a coward on the wagon train.
Guest Stars: Mulvaney..James Gregory,..Estelle Dawson..Bettye Ackerman,..Issac Dawson..Joe De Santis,..Frazier..Douglas Kennedy,..Anna..Jane Zachary,..Breck..Ken Drake,..Lt.

Trivia: Stock footage was taken from Paramount's vast library of films for many shots of the rampaging Indians in all four acts of this episode.

271.) Sense Of Duty
September 24, 1967
Written by:
John Hawkins, Gil Laskey
Directed by: William Witney

Ben, Hoss, and Joe come to the aid of a militia escort, being pursued by the Paiute Indians, and ward them off, only for Ben to discover that he will be commanding the Virginia City 116th militia after decades of non-service. The prisoner, a rabble-rousing Paiute who claims he is a God, is being escorted back to prison, at Fort Churchill. They are forced to cross Indian country on their journey, where they encounter the prisoner's loyal followers, Chief Winetka and his tribe.
His followers feel he is a God and not a man and will stop at nothing to protect him. Chief Winetka even puts his friendship aside with Ben and orders his warriors to fight the militia. Candy Canady (David Canary) makes his debut, as a drifter looking for a meal and an adventure. In gratitude for Candy helping them, Ben hires him and he agrees to sign on at the Ponderosa on two conditions: that he can pack up and leave anytime he gets the notion or Ben can send him down the road whenever he wants.
Guest Stars: Candy..David Canary,..Sergeant Ankers..Gene Rutherford,..Wabuska..Michael Forest,..Steve..Ron Foster,..Chief Winetka..Richard Hale,..Deputy..Ben Gage,..Colonel Brill..John Matthews,..Tim Kelley..Kip Whitman,..Wells..Gregg Palmer..(uncredited),..Townsman #1..Bill Quinn..(uncredited; bit part),..Townsman #2..Dan White..(uncredited; bit part),..Hal Burton..(uncredited; horseback double for Michael Landon),..Bill Clark..(uncredited; horseback double for Dan Blocker),..Bob Miles..(uncredited; horseback double for David Canary),..Ed Jauregui..(uncredited; horseback double for Lorne Greene)..Lincoln Demyan..Spence.
Trivia: David Canary makes his debut as 'Candy Canaday', in the first of the 81 episodes he would establish himself in Bonanza.
Trivia: Michael Forest makes his last appearance on the series, this time as Wabuska, the Paiute who is convinced he is a God. Michael Forest's career suffered heavily after he made the 1967 Star Trek episode in which he played Apollo and was then confined to these roles, as he played a similar role on Bonanza, both filmed around the same time in 1967. He left for Rome in 1968 and made a lucrative career in doing voice-overs in the film industry there. He returned to the United States in 1978 and today is retired in his 70's and is still active at conventions across the country.
Character actors Ron Foster as Steve and Richard Hale as Chief Winetka, along with Ben Gage as the Deputy and Bill Quinn as a townsman, all make return appearances in this episode. Big and burly Gregg Palmer makes another guest appearance as Wells, and goes uncredited, along with a few other character actors seen in this episode.
Stunt Trivia: Joe is horseback doubled by Hal Burton, Ben by Ed Jauregui and Hoss by Bill Clark as they ride to stop the rampaging Indians from killing the soldiers. This is repeated in act four on location, when all the stuntmen dressed as Indians ride in from all directions and circle them, with Bob Miles doubling Candy (David Canary), Hal Burton as Joe, Ed Jauregui as Ben, and Bill Clark as Hoss riding through the sand, in all the long shots at Red Rock Canyon. This was the first episode David Canary filmed in May 1967. He would film his second three months later in August, after the 12-week hiatus was finished out.
Location Scenes Filmed at:Red Rock Canyon, Mojave Desert, California.
Filming date: May 15 to May 22, 1967.

Trivia: John Saxon makes his second of three appearances, this time as Blas, the Mexican schoolmaster, in probably the most entertaining of his guest roles on the series. Veteran character actors John Kellogg as Anderson and Eddie Ryder as Perkins make another guest appearance on the series. Mike de Anda as Quail, previously seen as Corrales in nine's 'The Gold Detector' and Carlos Rivas as Miguel, who would be seen in season ten's 'Salute To Yesterday' as the Mexican-Indian bandit Angel Montana.

Michael Landon only does his close-ups as Joe for the above scenes on the soundstage and location, but is fully able to do his complete fight on Stage 16 in this excellent episode.

277.) Desperate Passage
November 5, 1967
Written by:
John Hawkins
Directed by: Leon Benson

Driving horses to Utah, the Cartwrights and Candy discover only two people left in a town wiped out by rampaging Paiute Indians. Together, Mary Burns and Josh Tanner must travel through hostile territory, along with the Cartwrights and Candy.
Guest Stars: Josh Tanner..Steve Forrest,..Mary Burns..Tina Louise,..Clem..Bing Russell,..Paul Burns..James Forrest,..Hal Burton..(uncredited; horseback double for Michael Landon and horseback stunts as Paiute Indian),..Bob Miles (uncredited; stunts as Paiute Indian),..Ray Mazy (uncredited; stunt double for David Canary),..Bill Clark (uncredited; stunt double for Dan Blocker),..Ed Jauregui..(uncredited; horseback/stunt double for Lorne Greene).
Trivia: Steve Forrest was born as William Forrest Andrews in Huntsville, Texas on September 29, 1924. The younger brother of actor Dana Andrews. At 6' 3', the fairheaded, handsome and virile actor found himself doing bit parts in the 1940's in Hollywood, including 1943's Crash Dive, which featured his older brother Andrews and The Ghost Ship. He made the transition to a supporting actor in the 1950's and 1960's, very prominently. In the late 1960's, his face would be much more heavily seen, as he became very popular and active in major guest star roles in the 1970's and 1980's, most prominently in the ABC-TV crime drama series 'S.W.A.T'--1975-76, as Lt. Dan 'Hondo' Harrelson.
Forrest made a special cameo in the 2003 remake of 'S.W.A.T', as the truck driver, and Samuel L. Jackson played the role Forrest originally portrayed in the original TV-series in the 1970's. On 'Bonanza' he portrays Josh Tanner in this episode and would make another appearance as lawman Dan Logan in eleven's 'To Stop A War'.
Tina Louise was born as Tina Blacker in New York City on February 11, 1934. The red-headed beauty at 5' 8', was a former model and singer, who worked and studied at the Actors Studio and Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. After her success in the Broadway musical 'Li'l Abner', she went to Hollywood and went on to play in a variety of films, but is best known for her Marilyn Monroe-ish stranded movie star Ginger Grant, in the 1964-67 TV-series 'Gilligan's Island'.
In the Broadway musical, she played Appassionata Von Climax and shared her dressing room with another Broadway actress making her debut--Julie Newmar. Her measurements as a starlet in the 1950's were 37-24-36 and later while doing 'Gilligan's Island' at 38-23-37 and was the Covergirl on Modern Man magazine in July 1957. She detested the association of playing Ginger on the TV-series and wouldn't appear in any of the TV reunions aired on CBS, more then a decade after the cancellation of the original series.
However, she has appeared as herself in television retrospectives to 'Gilligan's Island' in 1999, 2000, 2003, and the most recent in March 2004, reuniting with surviving cast members and producers for the DVD release of 'Gilligan's Island' in Southern California as herself. In recent years, she's a volunteer reading teacher in NY school systems and a lifetime member of Actors Studio. She has one daughter, Caprice from her first marriage.
Stunt Trivia: In the filmed scenes of Joe rounding the bend by the creek on his horse and signaling the others, it is really Hal Burton doubling for Michael, and the camera pans over to Bob Miles dressed as a Paiute Indian on a granite outcrop and he jumps Hal off the Painthorse and they hit the ground. Then you see filmed close-ups of Michael and Bob in a fight that takes them into the creek at Solitude Canyon, Lake Tahoe, Nevada, and then the knife fight and Bob gets the knife from Michael who wins the fight. Both wore wet suits to protect themselves from getting hypothermia from the cold water in the creek. The stuntmen would always play the Paiute Indians in all the fight scenes in episodes on the show.
Stunt Trivia: In the big fight at Gooseneck Meadow has Bob Miles as the Paiute, who rides up to Candy and attacks him. Miles did double Candy, but since he played the Indian, it required Ray Mazy to double Candy on the horse. Joe sees the attack and that is where Hal Burton doubles Joe, who rides up from behind and grabs them both. All three take a big fall off the horses and hit the ground. The action cuts to Bob playing another Paiute, who goes after Ben, being doubled by another stuntman, and gets kicked and falls to the ground.
Hoss reacts to this and Bill Clark doubles him as he rides up and jumps off the horse to stop the Paiute. Lorne and Dan had the same stuntman (Bill Clark), but since both actors were being filmed together in the scene, it required another stuntman on the crew to briefly double Lorne. Back to Joe and Candy, has Bob on top of Mike with the knife and Canary shoots him dead. The action cuts back to the others, with Ben regaining consciousness, only to see Hoss (Blocker), who strangles the Paiute dead on the ground.
Stunt Trivia: Hal Burton doubles for Michael at Spooner Lake during the escape scenes after Joe cuts the horses loose, Hal jumps on and rides a large white horse, and then jumps off doing a twist then landing on his feet, something too dangerous for Landon to do. Hal doubles Joe again on the horse as the group quickly rides away from the lake as act four comes to a conclusion.
Location scenes filmed at:Gooseneck Meadow, Truckee, California and Solitude Canyon and Spooner Lake, at Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Filming date: September 13 to September 21, 1967.

Michael and Dan just do their close-ups on horseback with Kim Darby and then ride away as the opening credits sequence begins.

Suspicious of Fillmore, Candy tells him he wants to steal Ben's payroll. His suspicions are confirmed when Fillmore lets him in on the plan. The final showdown in act four, one of the greatest battle sequences ever made on Bonanza.

M.S. Dixie I and M.S. Dixie II History: The Dixie has a long history of over 50 years. She was first brought to Lake Tahoe in 1948 from the Mississippi River, with the plan of turning her into a floating casino. Not long after that plan failed, she sank off the shallow waters at Cave Rock. After being recovered, she was converted into a houseboat by the owner of the Logan Shoals Marina. The houseboat turned out to be very popular. The Dixie appeared in several commercials and in this episode of 'Bonanza' and in 'State Troopers'. She was also very popular for political fundraisers, decked out in red, white, and blue for the likes of then Nevada Senator Paul Laxalt.
In 1969, the decision was made to capitalize on the demand and convert the Dixie into a commercial tour boat. Over a two-year period she was lengthened, twin engines and propellers were added, and a galley and new second and third decks installed. On Memorial Day of 1972 the M.S. Dixie took her first public cruise, ending a 30-year period during which Lake Tahoe had been without a large commercial vessel. She was an immmediate and long lasting success treating tens of thousands of visitors to cruises on the lake each summer.
Among those visitors were future presidents Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford, and a contingent of visiting Russian cosmonauts accompanied by their American counterparts. Oftentimes, the crew recognizes movie stars and celebrities. But knowing that the guests prefer a relaxing ride without intrusions or fanfare, they are simply treated with the same courtesy and deference they have for every passenger on the Dixie. After the years came and went, time deteriorated the original Dixie beyond reasonable repair and the decision was made to build the M.S. Dixie II.
Because the Tahoe basin has stringent controls on shoreline activities, the plan was to construct the vessel to 90% of its completion at the yard of her builder, Skipperline Industries, at the home at LaCrosse, Wisconsin, with the sections bolted together. All of the engines would be pre-installed, and the 151 foot long vessel would be broken down into four main sections and transported on special tractor trailers to Lake Tahoe.
To prepare for the journey West, hundreds of curves, overpasses and bridges were surveyed and measured. More than 30 permits were obtained to cover the roads which crossed into southern Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Utah before entry into Nevada. The only trouble they had at Lake Tahoe was when they had to squeeze the trailers through the tunnel at Cave Rock and did it successfully. The longest journey of the Dixie II was her first. Final assembly took place in the parking lot at Zephyr Cove through the winter of 1993-1994, with her launch in the spring.
With hundreds of spectators watching, the new boat inched its way to the water. After 10 hours, the boat was in enough water to float free. Pilot boats nudged the Dixie II to her new home at the Zephyr Cove Resort pier. The public career of the M.S. Dixie II began in May of 1994. She has been enthusiastically received by the cruising public, who enjoy the spacious, comfortable interiors, refurbished in 2001, picture window viewing, state-of-the-art climate control, and classic lines of this 570-passenger paddlewheeler. Now the Dixie II cruises Lake Tahoe year round, delighting all who come aboard with the traditions of friendly service and great times that began on the Dixie I.
Trivia: This episode marks the second outdoor opening scene of Candy, standing under the pines at Zephyr Cove, at the beginning credits.
Trivia: In the final showdown against Fillmore and his men, Joe decides he's going to make a charge at the boat and board it to save Candy. Ben and Hoss warn him, it's too dangerous, but there is no other way. For the second time this season, we see Michael Landon wearing a wetsuit, as he is boarding the Dixie. He wore a wet suit previously in this season's 'Desperate Passage' in the knife fight scene at Solitude Canyon, Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
Kevin Hagen Trivia: In his sixth and last appearance on the series, Kevin Hagen's favorite 'Bonanza' episode as he remembers it well.
'We filmed on location at Zephyr Cove on the banks of beautiful Lake Tahoe. I'd been to Lake Tahoe before and really loved the area. 'Showdown at Tahoe' was fast-paced and exciting, and for an actor, a nice challenging role.'

Hal Burton also doubles James MacArthur, when his character gets blown off his horse by the dynamite explosion at Ben's logging camp in act one. In the barn fight, when Rio is about to steal the black horse, Candy gets into a fight and in one over-the-shoulder shot, is doubled by Bob Miles, getting hit over the head.

Duntz, with a son named Jamie. He also has a daughter Juliette.
MacArthur is active these days on the fan circuit, radio, television and stage. All of his films are being issued on DVD, along with his mother's, with many supplements and never-before-seen photos and commentaries. The ongoing rumors about a 'Hawaii Five-O' movie continue unabated with MacArthur returning as Danno, as well as a new series he will star in based in Hawaii, and a one-man show and autobiography, but nothing more definitive then that at this time.
Stunt Horse Trivia: Beauty makes his thirty-first appearance on the series, this time as Jace's wild stallion. Beauty's rear white markings above the hooves have been painted over again, and in some scenes, the white star marking on his head. At 24 years-old, the horse is more than fantastic, he's a horse from God.
