WHISPERING SMITH "The Quest" 1961
WHISPERING SMITH was western star Audie Murphy's attempt at headlining a series. Murphy plays a member of the Denver Police Force in the late 1860's. The series follows Murphy and his partner, Guy Mitchell, as they chase various unsavoury types and bring them to justice. The series ran for 26 episodes between May and November 1961.
This episode is the 8th of the production run.
This one starts with a Murphy and his partner, Mitchell helping a young woman who has just arrived in Denver. The woman, Elen Willard, is looking for her mother who she has seen in 16 years. All she knows is that someone from Denver was sending cash every month to her place out east.
Murphy and Mitchell look into the matter with out much hope. The pace of the investigation picks up when Willard is told to leave town by several large gentlemen. Murphy and company root around and the trail leads to a wealth ranch owner, Harry Holcombe.
Anyways, it seems that the woman Willard is after is shall we say, "unbalanced," and her new husband, Holcombe is keeping her hidden away. The woman, Kay Stewart, had given up her daughter, Willard because out of fear that her first husband would harm the child. Murphy forces Holcombe to let the mother and daughter meet.
This is not what one would call a good episode. The story really goes nowhere and there is a complete lack of action. Not a winner.
