THE VIRGINIAN -- The Challenge ( Don Galloway, Barbara Anderson

1 year before they became fictional cops in the

TV series IRONSIDE,

Barbara Anderson (in one of

her first acting roles on TV) and Don Galloway

played lovers in this Virginian episode.



Her father is played by veteran actor Dan Duryea

and her brother by Michael Burns.



One of the outlaws in Galloway's gang is

Bing Russell (Kurt's father).



And if that isn't enough, Ed Peck appears

as the Sheriff.



This is an OK episode, but it could have been a

lot better. All hit TV series eventually have one

of the main characters temporarily going blind or

getting amnesia.



So Trampas loses his memory after a run-in with

outlaws, but the plot doesn't really go anywhere.
