Storyline:
Charles Bronson guest-stars as Harry Star, a halfbreed who is regularly subjected to the bigotry of the townsfolk. Feeling that Harry has been unjustly persecuted, Ben Cartwright hires the man as a ranchhand. What Ben doesn't know, but the audiences does, is that Harry is a member of a gang of horse thieves, who intend to exploit Ben's trust by pulling off an elaborate scam. Written on rottentomatoes.com
Reviews:
""The Underdog" is one of the best remembered episodes, no doubt due to the sterling presence of Charles Bronson, at 43 already a well known movie actor, whose TV credits would cease in three years after relocating to Europe. 'Special Guest Star' Bronson is cast as Harry Starr, a drifter facing prejudice in the Old West, his mother a white woman and his father a renegade Comanche. The Cartwrights take pity on the loner by offering him a job as ranch hand, but encounter opposition from another newcomer, Lee Burton (Tom Reese), who decides to take his two days pay and quit. Later in town, Harry is assaulted by Burton's men, so Ben Cartwright decides the best thing for Harry is to work in solitude north of the Ponderosa. Unfortunately, trouble follows the half breed, as horses begin disappearing from ranches around town, and Burton himself discovers a branding iron hidden in Harry's shack, with Harry nowhere to be found. As the bounty for Harry grows to $4000, Burton intends to collect it, dead or alive (preferably dead). Joe does most of the work, Hoss makes only a brief appearance, Adam not at all. Low budget director-actor Bruno VeSota is clearly seen delivering a couple of lines as the bartender." Written by kevinolzak on IMDb.com
"Charles Bronson guest stars in this Bonanza story concerning a young half white, half Comanche drifter who winds up on the Ponderosa and gets a job breaking horses. The Cartwrights befriend him especially Michael Landon.
But being who he is he runs up against prejudice so Lorne Greene has him working out of a remote line shack. And then horses for the roundup reymuda start disappearing.
All I will say is that things are not as they seem. Quite an elaborate con is working here.
Charles Bronson dominates this episode with a fine performance of a man who can't quite fit in anywhere." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com

Doesn't get any better than this! What a treat with Charles Bronson
Grew up watching Bonanza with my grandmother now I watch it with my kids I’m 29yrs old
Bonanza always had some many Great Actors and a Beautiful Palimno Horse 🐎.
Speaking of the beautiful horses, googled about them and saw the horrible thing that happened to some of them. Someone with a really sharp knife slipped in there and wounded some of them severely. Some of them they were able to save but Little Joe’s beautiful black and white pinto, Cochise was so severely injured that he couldn’t be saved. They had to euthanize him. They never found out who had done it!!! 🤔🤔🤔🥺🥺🥺
Charles Bronson on Bonanza? Awesome.
Absolutely ❤❤❤
Goodness gracious sakes alive! Its Charles Bronson!
I felt necessary to comment because of all the nostalgia that this TV serie brings.
I'm just 23 but had my grandma who raised me as her son and she is still so deep in my mind and heart. I lost her early this year and I just can't stop remembering all the lovely moments I lived with her and how valuable they were at that moment. So I saw this entire episode and was just thinking how she used to wake up every morning and make some coffee and other morning stuffs and then tune TCM Channel to watch Bonanza, that's when I used yo wake up and see her sitting right in front of the T.V and enjoy this classics and on weekends I used to accompany her. Sometimes, someone is happy just that doesn't see it at that moment. Still miss her everyday and hopefully one day I see her again. Greetings from Nicaragua.
P.S never knew what happened to the third brother
Hi, sorry for your loss and yes sometimes we're happy and just don't see it at the time, until it's just a happy memory. Take care, cheers from France
Yes my mom died when I was a girl and I loved my Gramma too. at 65 yrs old I miss her a lot . Sad with u but what a good memory u have with her and bananza !!!! Jesus wants all ppl to come to Him the one God sent to pay for our wrongdoing . GBU . I have a 1st granddaughter . I only hope she will watch these 50's shows with good morals with me too.
Alonso Jose Narvaez:Sincere condolences.I hope things get better for you soon.Stay strong.Salud.
Adam was the first brother. Actor Pernell Roberts wanted to pursue other opportunities, so he fulfilled his contract but declined to renew . On the show they said Adam left to undertake work in his chosen field, architectural engineering.
Feel same way! My Granmother loved this show ! So many times I watched it with her.She was born in Wyoming and she explai Ed so much with about her past,ranching,horses cattle.I loved it.
Wow wasn't expecting Charles Bronson!! This was a awesome episode I just loved it⭐💗
I watched bonanza Disney and wrestling never Saturday night me and my grandmother I go over and stay with her she just lived around the corner on the farm where we lived I go watch that with Grandma she always enjoyed the company and I enjoyed my grandmother
Charles Bronson great great actor.
This wonderful show was back in the days before the advancement of moral decay. I sure do miss those days.
Actually these shows show us that moral decay was already present and underway. Stealing, murder, hanging people, rape, physical assault, and abuse of women. Look at the stories they tell.
@@marydyer1852 I was going to say that very thing.
@@marydyer1852 Exactly! If people would have been moral back then, this series (which aims to teach moral lessons) probably wouldn't even have needed to exist, haha
What u talking about,, every episode has a bad evil person
@Minnie. The moral decay started in America in 1962 when God's Holy Word the 1611 King James Authorized Version of the Holy Bible which is inerrant and infallible was taken out of the public schools unconstitutionally. Compare the morality in 1961 to today. Then, you'll see what I mean.
Watching Bonanza makes me feel good. Nice looking guys too
I really love the way they taught Christian values within the shows, and they also taught that this a sinful world and is not our home. Somebody said how they missed those days, just keep on living, you are going to miss the days we are living in now compared to what it is going to be like. Whose creating great movies and shows for the now and then?
Christians burnt women at the stake
❤❤❤❤❤
Seeing Charles Branson doing a Bonanza series was great
Only thing better than Bonanza...Bronson on Bonanza!
True
How about Jan Michael(2x)& Michael Burns?
Yep😁
I definitely didn't see that plot twist coming. Great episode.
Always good to see charcles Bronson
I was 11 when I watched Bonanza with my parents and brothers. I couldn’t watch all episodes and I thanke you for giving me this opportunity to watch what I have missed.
I am 71 now, retired, and stay up every night to watch all this episodes. Lots of love.
Thank you for your nice comment Maria!!! 🙂🤠
you are welcome I'm 71 to i Like to talk someone sometime Jesus is the answer to all things
I love western movies
@@elishawhite7894 Me too
Was Bonanza on Sunday night?
Charles Bronson's always been my favorite actor. In my opinion nobody else even comes close even the great Clint Eastwood.
As a young girl, when I was happy and energetic riding my stick horse, I would hum the bonanza tune real loud , especially when I was gallopi ng. I am 61 now and that is a very cherished memory. We used to watch it at my grandparents house. What a beautiful show. I'm so glad I can watch it on TH-cam. Karen from Canada
Well , it is a true pure classic western tv show and serie , there are many good lessons to be taught from bonanza thats for sure .
As I child, I only knew Hoss and Little Joe. I had no idea that there had been another brother, Adam. It was a wonderful show.
@@Coupal1 BcNxyhIxpZy
Used to watch this with my grandpa when I was a kid. He always sit there kids on his lap and hum the theme song while acting like we were on a horse😂
@@Joe-lc3sv what a heart warming memory to have .
Good to see Charles Bronson in an early role, but you didn't have to look far to see Charlie in the early to mid 60s.
Bronson was extremely busy in TV and film during this period.
He really wasn't an up and coming struggling actor when he did this episode. He was pretty much already there, having "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape" under his belt and preparing to become one of "The Dirty Dozen"
A truly amazing career.
Thank You Charlie!
Bonanza lives on
Steve Hamilton:Darn it,how could I have left The Great Escape off my list?!
@Steven. Charles Bronson was in an episode of "Gunsmoke" in the first season too.
Yet all the fame in the world means nothing if you lose your own soul by not knowing Jesus
Who else finds the sound of hoofs on rocks intoxicating, especially in digital sound?
i'm 71,grew up watching all the westerns back in the day..liked them all
Great episode! I happened on this by chance, gave it 5 minutes and the next thing I know the end credits are rolling. I had forgotten what a wonderful show this was, great actors, great guest stars, excellent writing. In the beginning you think it’s going to be about one thing, then it pulls the rug out from under you. Wow.
Feels like only yesterday I was watching Bonanza,What happened to this world.
I'm addicted to this show--watch it everyday at noon or check to see which episode it is and watch later on the PC if I have to go out
@@brendawilson5388 me too....had all of the year 2020 and beyond that I can take. I miss the old days and my old friends
The writers and producers of Bonanza were Geniuses!
I had forgotten that Bronson guest starred on Bonanza. Of course he kept busy and appeared on many popular series in the 60s. As usual.he steals the show.
Bronson and Landon oh my I didnt want it to end !
Who in the world would give Charles Bronson a thumbs-down???
Great actor charles bronson, my father liked to see their movies and other films old west
In this episode I was nearly traumatized seeing Bronson getting his butt kicked in the saloon. Say it isn't so!! But then I was relieved when he met up with his gang and realized it wasn't so. Wheeeew! I might have needed counseling to get over that!
Fine actor Charles was too, bonanza sported some of the finest. That's why I love it so much.
WONDERFUL!!!!CHARLES BRONSON AND MICHAEL LONDON. OH MY GOD !!! IT'S VERY BEAUTIFUL FOR ME..
I LOVE SO MUCH IT
Classic fight , two greats Charles Bronson vs Micheal Landon !

All most entirely stunt doubles.
You knew Bronson had to loose, though he never loses, because, he was on Little Joe's show.
I'm just glad to know that it was a story. Charles Bronson was really a great person/actor in life. A really good episode. I also liked what Ben Cartwright said. Never be afraid to try to do good for a person. Your only a human.
the show was rooted in Jewish faith...many dont know this
Great point. Watching this, seeing the way the Cartwrights are almost stubbornly kind to him, giving him the benefit of the doubt again and again, I thought to myself, where are there any characters like that on TV (or in the movies) anymore? Too bad… but at least there’s reruns!
@@Joesfosterdogs Then I wonder why they put so much emphasis on Christianity.
@@3Ddude101 BECAUSE GROOVE MASTER IS WRONG!!!!
@@Joesfosterdogs YOU'RE A BOLD FACE LIAR!!!!
Oh my goodness gracious. There’s my man. I didn’t know he, Charles Bronson was starring in this movie.
Again, Ben puts the correct feelings into words. Joe did nothing wrong by having "warm human feelings toward anyone." And anyone with courage enough to do that will sooner or later be hurt.
My ring tone is the bonanza theme. Everyone who hears it knows it's bonanza. So popular, and great show.
@Joe Owens. I agree Joe. It's no fun being the underdog. I was the underdog for my entire life. I was born with Sjogren's Syndrome and Asperger's Disease. I was born on Christmas Eve in 1956. Sjogren's Syndrome wasn't known to exist in children then, and Asperger's Disease wasn't recognized at all. The Sjogren's Syndrome caused my immune system to attack my tear glands 100% of the time so I hated swimming. The Asperger's caused me to not know how to socialize. Yes, except for my mother and my younger brother, I was a loner growing up. It wasn't until I was 21 years old that I was finally diagnosed with the Sjogren's Syndrome. I can definitely empathize with Charles Bronson's character. He didn't fit in because he was a halfbreed.
@Joe Owens. I didn't fit in because I was born with extremely rare diseases. I hated being with my friends. I was a loner growing up except for my mother and my younger brother. If I hadn't been a born again Christian, I probably would have tried to commit suicide.
@@lynettepalecek3141 wow! I’m so glad you chose Jesus instead! He loves you
@@debihester7284 That's right! 🙏🙏🙏🕊
When I was 10 years old I watched Bonanza with my Father in Viêt Nam 😍😍😍it’s miss my DAD
Love seeing the other stars that came on bonanza seen one with Jack lord early today. I like him and Charles. Great actor .
Bronson was a young lad in this episode thanks for the upload.
Such a great show… moral theme…
Bonanza had such great guests. Charlie Bronson episode. Thanks for sharing all these!
As in Death Wish, Wildey pistol Bronson?
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching them! 🤠👌🎬🍿
I used to watch Bonanza as a kid. I never imagined actually seeing the set many years after the show ended. I never gave much thought to the location of the "Ponderosa". Back in 1987, my family and I were vacationing at Lake Tahoe. We saw some signs in the area advertising the Ponderosa. I had always assumed it was all Hollywood. So we followed the signs. We toured the entire set and went inside their "house". Now, when I watch these old reruns, I recognize all the places we toured. It sure looks different in person.
That lake is soooo beautiful.
@Greg. Wow! That must have been a lot of fun! Lucky you!
@@susanmccormick6022 It sure is!!
I went there too! It was so cool!
It sounds like a wonderful place to be!
Awesome!
Always Great Film to Watch, bonanza
Wow Charles bronson a big time actor
Saw your comment, Karen from Canada, I am 69 and a huge animal lover myself God Bless
I'm with[ Lyle ]we used to watch Bonanza at my grandparent's farmhouse as well, actually, the whole family sat around the tube and watched Bonanza first then if Disney had any special on we watched this next. Very loving times and memories. I love Ben's one liner here,[ in other words, he was an underdog, never feel ashamed for having warm feelings toward anyone]. These were the days when family, and life lesson's were actually taught to families on sitcoms, Bonanza, Bigvalley, The Rifleman, Long Ranger, Wagon Train, Gunsmoke, Have Gun Will Travel, The Rebel, name some others?

Richard Branson:You forgot Lancer,High Chaparral,Larado,Laramie,Jesse James,Champion...Wish someone could post those.Oh,& save the Texas Prairie Chicken.Purrrlease.
When Joe started to fight with Charles Bronson he looked nearly as old as Charles Bronson. Super fight sequence. I’ll bet they had fun doing that. 👏👏👏👏😱😱😱🙈🙈🙈
Charles Bronson comes walking and it’s guaranteed a good episode!
Bonanza a. Legend n it's time my daddy loved it as and all of his children on that black and white floor model tv
Good episode with stellar guest performance from Charles Bronson, who by 1964 had already played important roles in THE GREAT ESCAPE and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, among other flicks. Michael Landon in superior form. Two gripes: 1. Adam does not appear for one second, apart from the introductory titles; 2. The motivation for the half-breed's duplicitous and treasonous behavior goes frustratingly unexplained, as does Tom Reese's switch from racist to underdog to that same much disdained half-breed. How the spotter fails to track the very visible Joe pursuing the villains at the end is also baffling. That said, right until the last 4 min, this episode is quite entrancing. Thanks for sharing
I like that Charles Bronson - especially his initials! jajaja
I like the way he (Charles Bronson character) pronounces Oregon correctly.
I actually cringed when he said Or-i,gahn. As a 4th generation Oregonian, I can tell you it is ORE-uh-g'n
Cant believe Charles Branson a great actor acting in this episode.
Why?
I didn't think Joe could take Bronson. I'm impressed.
Charles Bronson is always fantastic!!!
Wow... a young Charles Bronson learned how to walk before he can run - that is why he became a big star... 🙂🤘
Charles Bronson, my guy! What a GREAT!!! actor 😊
So Great! 🤠👌🎬🍿
I'm the underdog . I will rise .
Very good western well played by All love watching Bonanza
Love that Charles Bronson x
Amped!just talking about this episode with Charlie Bronson guesting.He was also in The Mechanic with Jan Michael Vincent,my fav 🌟.And outstanding in The Seven.That line about when you are half of something you're really half of nothing,is one I've never forgotten.So sad.The Palo looked like Pink Champagne.Wonderful horse.I miss them all.And lurve seeing bullies get their just desserts.
Before there was Arnold, Stallone, and Van Damme there was Charles Bronson. Charles Bronson makes Chuck Norris cried.
Chuck Norris taught Michael Landon karate
I see young Charles Bronson 😁👍
I love this video clip !
I guess Little Joe is the only guy I ever seen someone beat Charles Bronson in a fist fight in a movie.
Wonderful actor, Charles Bronson, add to that, World War Two Purple Heart. He had 55 gunshot wounds in back!!! 😳😳😳🥺🥺🥺😱😱😱
👍
Mr Charles Branson love his movies.
Sheriff Coffee's hat looks like a Stetson. I like it. I might get one someday.
👍My father & grandfather always wore Stetson hats. Good taste! ✌️
I missed this western , Bonanza , it's very religious and morally excellent , because of TH-cam I'm highly privileged to watch this precious show.Also there's distinguished Star presence.Obliged , thank you very much Sir.From India Pune City Jai Maharashtra.
It’s not very religious at all, but it does teach good morals
This episode had a great plot twist.
Happy to hear that, thanks for watching! 🤠👌🎬🍿
All these years I thought Branson was an American native decent only to find out 5 years ago that he is of Lithuanian decent. Amazing
You probably also didn't know that Eugene Maurice orowitz is the real name of Michael Landon
Older westerns, are cleaner.
Charles Bronson is a legend! 💖
This show brings back fond memories of watching it with my dad- well Dad has been gone for 25 years now & I'm 65 will bev66 in October of this year.
RIP lLorne & Michel & Robert & Charles & Dan & any other cast member that may have died.
Thanks for aposting & making this old woman smile today 😊.
From back in the days your best friend was your worst enemy so watch yourself
Bonanza are good people to work for Cartwright believe in helping people need help
...Bonanza and their great stories about life. As a young naive man I dated a beautiful girl who we can call an"underdog" ; a female version of Bronson's character but in real life. I fell love with her and sent her money every month. One day I showed up unannounced and discovered she was using money on not so good things. Like Joe, I felt so double-crossed but understood a human was just trying to survive. Years later she passed away most likely due to a rugged lifestyle. I visited her two weeks before her passing with a Bible, a rosary and bouquet of flowers. We prayed together, she felt remorse for her life. But I said God has everlasting love and our sins are forgiven. We said we loved each other; apologized and she passed. Underdogs - all of us.
Touching , takes a surtain grip on you while reading your typing .
Great and touching story my friend.
That's very touching and I'm glad she apologize and you except her apology. We all have sins to ask God to forgive us for. May she RIP 🌹
Wow. Powerful story.
but..you had to include the part where you sent her money and she used it on things YOU didnt approve of...didnt you?
Look at how young Charles Bronson is..
Lol yeah 💖
Holy Smokes ite Charles Bronson!
That wimpy bartender did nothing to stop it and they're dirting his bar.
Good👍 episode 👌👌😘🥰😍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Death wish comes after and made those sequel famous.
Thank you for another episode of this movie.i like it.more power to you all
Happy to hear that, thanks for tuning in! 🤠👌🎬🍿
CHARLES BRONSON?!? YEEEAAAAHHHHHH
Charles dennis buchinsky better known as charles bronson ,
I was completely fooled by Charles Bronsons character!
All the best ❤️
Another good episode 👍🏾👍🏾
A story like this could ONLY exist in the world of TV fiction. For that matter, only in the world of Bonanza. That said, I don't care. This was a thoroughly enjoyable episode. Thank You for posting.
Every one still needs to enjoy meeting people. Their from one planet (as far as we know) and should be treated as you would treat a relative. We are. ✌💖
Wicked and ungrateful Bronson was!! Good ending.
Top shelf episode starring Charles Bronson. 95% was hardcore western genre. The sappy, mumbling, bankrupt, ledger-cooking rancher made up the remaining 5% with his comments to his adopted young cowboy live-in 😵
I STILL WATCHING THOSE EPISODES EVERY DAY, I LOVE THAT TV SERIES
Charlie looked like he was wearing eyeliner!
That Sherriff Coffee is something else... he couldn't grant the reward money without identifying the body, so rode all that way just to see an empty grave and still gave the money lol he could've saved himself a ride seeing the body wasn't really required
The Underdog
Episode aired Dec 13, 1964
It's painfully obvious Ben doesn't know much about lounging horses; also, palomino is a color, not a breed.
Though not a breed, they are bred. And they're not just about color , they have certain traits. So maybe technically he shouldn't have called it a breed, it IS a type of horse. Also, I'd like to know where your horse "expertise" comes from that you can be so critical and full of...."facts"
@@rbrowning9617 Saying a palomino is a type of horse is like saying a golden retriever is a type of dog. . . duh, and although I do not claim to be any sort of expert, my knowledge comes from books mostly. As for palominos not being a specific breed, I believe you agreed about that in your first sentence so I don't get your point. I have nothing to do with facts being facts. There are at least a half dozen breeds that can be palomino in color, including Quarterhorse, American Saddlebred, Tennessee Walker, Morgan, Haflinger and even occasionally Thoroughbred, which all have very different traits, none of them palomino-specific. Why don't you google it and get back to me? Just don't expect a reply. I've had enough. P.S. Wilbur made the same mistake about Mr. Ed. who was an American Saddlebred/Arabian mix. But neither Ben nor Wilbur's inaccuracies diminish my enjoyment of the shows.
Who cares? Its a movie....get over it mr hotshot! They didn't claim to be the smartest people in the world!
@@jakebowers9237 1) Many horse people care. 2) She asked. 3) That MS. hotshot to you.
@@user-bx7nw1ve6y well then horse people wear their feelings on their shoulders! Because it really doesn't matter! Like I said its a movie ! Who cares!
excellent..that doesn't make the reasons wrong..just Harry.
Charles Bronson.....wow
A young Charles Bronson before he became a bigger star….
He was already a big star here. He'd just done The Magnificent Seven and the Great Escape. It doesn't get much bigger than that.
@@3Ddude101 Actually it Did get much bigger than that. In those movies mentioned he was only a co-star not the main star.
After Bonanza he starred in his own movies n even had sequels in Death Wish n Family of Cops.
So he became a more popular star then.
@@KKohl You missed my point that he was already playing in movies that were a major success and making him well known, not the precise level of his popularity. But I get your meaning.
