Plot

Charles Chioffi plays the title character in the thrill-packed Bonanza installment Shanklin. Hoss Cartwright is shot by a band of ex-rebel soldiers who want Ben Cartwright to finance the formation of a Second Confederacy. Only Shanklin, the man who pulled the trigger, can save Hoss' life-and he refuses to do so unless Ben forks over $25000 immediately. Rance Howard, father of Ronnie, appears as Bogardus. First telecast on February 13, 1972. "Shanklin" was written by William Felley. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
