Frliday's Favorite OTR

Fort Laramie: "Talented Recruits" 7/8/58

This is my personal favorite episode of Fort Laramie. Parley Baer plays a washed-up medicine show man. John Dehner plays a washed-up Shakespearean actor. The two have formed an unlikely friendship and decide to join the army as an alternative to starving to death. Baer and Dehner play the roles to perfection and you find yourself growing closer to them as the story gradually slides from comedy to tragedy.
