So the trio look for Lorenz/Garland, and when they track him down, his wife swoops in to steal the kill. At this point nobody knows that there is a warrant out for her arrest also, as an accomplice to murder along with her husband. King shows up to tell McQueen he fumbled Mara Corday (Mrs. The town sheriff (Walter Sande) shows up to help McQueen. Kind of pathetic fighting by McQueen in this scene. McQueen gets the drop on Garland, but then he soundly beats the crud out of McQueen. McQueen finally tracks down Jake Lorenz (played by Richard Garland in his only appearance on WDOA). King is awestruck by the beautiful woman, as Chester often was on Gunsmoke. Then she starts crying, and plays King into taking her to breakfast, where she gets away again. In this episode, Randall asks Jason Nichols (Wright King) to hold on to Lucinda Lorenz (Mara Corday) while he looks for her husband, the fugitive. They provided laughs by being dumb helpers, misunderstanding orders, falling off their horses, letting captives get loose, punching the wrong guy, etc. The original sidekicks from the 1930s singing Westerns set the tone. Chester from Gunsmoke is a prime example.
#Wanted dead or alive the hostage tv
In Western TV shows, sidekicks had a long tradition of being well-meaning, but incompetent buffoons. Most of the time, Wright King played back-stabbing weasels, mealy-mouthed lackeys, henchmen, and sidekicks.
King joined the cast because McQueen wanted to leave the show, but after eleven episodes McQueen got rid of King, and agreed to do a third season at a higher salary. King joined the cast as a recurring character for eleven episodes of WDOA. In this episode, McQueen is paired up with Wright King. The cold-blooded angel with cash on her mind always leaves Josh Randall (Steve McQueen) shocked. Wanted: Dead or Alive had about three episodes in which wives killed their husbands for bounty money.
