Millie Cotton, the governor's daughter, has run away from home and landed in Laramie. Desperate for money, she robs Owny in an alley with her hairbrush in his back. Both are scared. Owny later describes the robber as a huge, vicious man. Dan, told to be on the lookout for the governor's daughter, recognizes Millie, who sings for Lily and is told honestly that she has a lovely voice. Owny is struck by her, not knowing that she is his assailant. When he finds out, his hurt feelings take over. Later, an escaped convict, Millie, Owny, his horse, and his dog all combine for a scene of pandemonium before everything is sorted out.

    It was not quite as good as Owny's previous appearance, but it was still a really good episode. Joel Grey had great comedic timing, and did a really good job playing off all three of the show's stars especially John Russell. The first scene together where Owny is explaining to Dan about Sam and Jeremiah is priceless. I also love Dan's flabberghasted look when Owny says he was robbed less than five minutes after leaving the marshal's office. Owny falling for Millie was a cute romance story. Poor Johnny took a heck of a fall when Saunders made his escape. The visual of Saunders jumping off his horse and tackling Johnny off his horse was a great job of stuntwork. The ending was great to with Dan being the man with the plan of using the feud between Owny's dog and horse to save Millie after Saunders kidnaps her. Then of course they tease the audience a little more in the closing scene with Dan and Lily walking off arm and arm again after Dan agreed with Owny that woman is actually man's best friend.moreless
