As with many other westerns of the era, the subject of racial prejudice and the white man's injustice to Native Americans receive surprisingly progressive treatment. In "The Highbinder" (January 19, 1960) Brewster comes to the aid of Chinese American Yup Toy, who receives rude treatment from a racist hotel clerk.
What's Tom to do? He goes to the body, where Haggerty turns whimp and doesn't even get another swing off. I just prefer Tom using his wits and moral courage to win the day, not a series of body shots. Dan is a "slave" and Tom buys her freedom, saying that "We fought a war over that". She offers to become his wife and take care of him.
The Highbinder. Tue, Jan 19, 1960 60 mins. Ruthless James Reilly (Don Haggerty) will stop at nothing to wrest a coveted gold-mine map from elderly Yup Toy (H.T. Tsiang). Sugarfoot: Will Hutchins.
