So many of the sitcoms from the 1960's did an episode, usually in aired October, that had a haunted house or ghost or in this case a haunted town. F Troop, as usual, did it with a great deal of wit, though not much by the way of genuine shivers. O'Rourke talks Agarn, Dobbs and Vanderbilt into leaving the army with hm and homesteading a deserted ghost town where he's heard the railroad is going to pass through. Jane tells them about the spooky stories related to the ghost town, which Agarn believes but O'Rourke doesn't. It turns out there is a ghost, it it further turns out that the ghost is just an old hermit trying to keep people away so he can live there by himself. Then it turns out that the railroad isn't coming through after all and a new ghost puts in an appearance, which scares the men back into the army.
There is some good banter between Agarn and Dobbs as they argue with one another, and as usual Larry Storch steals the show. The mandatory visit to the Hikawi camp has the usual anachronistic humor and is well done. The final appearance of the ghost - maybe he's real after all?
One of the better episodes of a witty little show with some great comedic talent in it.
