Storyline
Did you know
- GoofsWhen the people are gathered near the hay wagon on the crest above the cabin in the hollow, a jet airplane trail is seen across the clear sky. At the time of filming, it could have been from a passing Boeing 707: the first commercial passenger jet, introduced the year before into service October 1958. The Douglas DC8 was brought into service September 1959 - two months before "Panic" was aired - probably too early to have been the passing craft when this was filmed.
- Quotes
Johnny Yuma: I think these people were poisoned.
Doctor: Are you a doctor?
Johnny Yuma: No.
Doctor: Well, you're right.
Featured review
J. Pat O'Malley and Jamie Farr
Episode 5, "Panic," begins with Johnny Yuma's discovery of a dying family in a shack outside a town where diphtheria had struck the year before. Local businessman Lew Bussey (Karl Swenson) advises Johnny to leave quickly before he can spread the contagion, but he decides to return to the shack and tender to the sick until the doctor can arrive. Bussey follows close behind, leading a small posse out to burn down the shack and destroy any trace of disease, but Johnny and his trusted scattergun defy the mob and the helpless sheriff (James Chandler, second of five). The unexpected death of Johnny's horse helps the doctor (Dan Sheridan) quickly arrive at the correct diagnosis, which will haunt the vengeful townspeople for the rest of their lives. Another solid outing, featuring J. Pat O'Malley, previously seen in "Judgment," and a young Jamie Farr, then billed under a close facsimile of his real name, Jamsel Farah, in a decent role as Bussey's hardware employee (he would return for "Two Weeks").
