Great episode. Really underscores how whites felt about Indians in the 19th century. The end will surprise you.

A man with an Aboriginal mother and a white father appears more white than anything and, when his mother passes away, he sets out to continue his life. Happening upon a man injured in the desert, he helps mend the man's injuries and takes him home to his ranch. He turns out to be a rather wealthy rancher who takes the man on to work. He also seems to have aspirations for the young man in terms of his daughter and the future of his holdings. The current ranch boss is less than enthusiastic having thought the ranch and the girl's hand would be his own.
