-Chapter 2 from 1:47 to 2:17: “Bridge & Western Panoramic (Suspense)” by<br />
Rene Garriguenc. Cue # 241. This is a rather <strong>Herrmann</strong>esque cue with the legato horn<br />
quarter note figures.<br />
-Chapter 2 from 6:47 to 7:10: “Dramatic II (Western Suite) aka “<strong>Gun</strong>fight”<br />
-Chapter 3 from 5:20 to 6:24: “<strong>Gun</strong>smoke” (Western Saga) cue # 387. Scene:<br />
This is the fight scene between Palad<strong>in</strong> <strong>and</strong> Huston (played by big man Dan Megowan).<br />
Note the frequent use of the Palad<strong>in</strong> stunt double!<br />
-Chapter 4 from 7:12 to 8:23: “S<strong>and</strong>storm” (Desert Suite)<br />

“Escape In Laredo” September 19, 1959 **** B<br />
Here’s another heavy drama but mellowed out due to the <strong>in</strong>volvement of a wife<br />
<strong>and</strong> child <strong>in</strong> the plot. Palad<strong>in</strong> arrives Laredo, Texas dur<strong>in</strong>g a night downpour, given an<br />
even more <strong>in</strong>hospitable welcome by a m<strong>in</strong>or gunman under orders by Sam Tuttle to<br />
reserve the whole hotel only to him. Gene Lyons does a great job as Sam Tuttle, a major<br />
gunfighter (equal, if not better, to Palad<strong>in</strong> himself) who arrives to see his wife <strong>and</strong> son. J.<br />
Pat O’Malley plays Logan, the hotel keeper. Norma Crane returns to play Tuttle’s<br />
estranged wife (remember her <strong>in</strong> “Ella West”?). Gene Roddenberry wrote the story.<br />
There is no <strong>Herrmann</strong> music <strong>in</strong> this episode but the music that is employed is really quite<br />
good.<br />
-Chapter 3 from 9:05 to 11:22: [????] Scene: Tuttle speaks with his son at the bar.<br />
Note: As given this is not <strong>Herrmann</strong> music but it is quite, <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g lyrical str<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>and</strong><br />
harp, a tender scene between father <strong>and</strong> son. Unfortunately I cannot identify it (no cue<br />
sheets at h<strong>and</strong>). It does not sound like Garriguenc music, however.<br />
-Chapter 4 from 7:19 to 7:43: “Dramatic F<strong>in</strong>ale (Americana)” by Rene<br />
Garriguenc. Scene: Palad<strong>in</strong> leaves town to see “Mrs. Smith.”<br />

“Les Girls” September 26, 1959 *** C+<br />
This story also by Gene Roddenberry is comical, light fare meant to offset the<br />
super-seriousness of the previous two open<strong>in</strong>g episodes. The location shots are<br />
refresh<strong>in</strong>g, especially <strong>in</strong> the beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g act by the churn<strong>in</strong>g river. Palad<strong>in</strong> is hired to safely<br />
escort three French mail-order brides to Bend-of-the River, Oregon. Mabel Albertson<br />
stars as Madame Chalon. There are also three very pretty girls, but I especially liked<br />
“Annette” (played by Danielle de Metz).<br />
[Note: No <strong>Herrmann</strong> music was used <strong>in</strong> this episode. However, you’ll hear some<br />
Jerome Moross music at spots (for example, <strong>in</strong> Chapter 5).<br />
