Stage Coach
This page is incomplete
Brisco is assigned to escort the very British Emma Steed, a spy, to
Mexicale to be exchanged for a US spy. The transport is to be done by
stagecoach.
The other passengers are:
- Professor Milo (on sabbatical from Harvard, where he teaches biology
-- Brisco took is course, and got a B-.)
- Miss Plowright, on her way to Mexico for a nose-job.
- Bobby Swann, who intends to be what we would now call a stand-up
comedian (or "club comedian"), with an Eddie-Murphy-esque laugh.
- Owen, a trapper picked up along the way (played by Brisco creator
Carlton Cuse).
- Ashok, a hilariously out-of-place Indian ("not that kind of an
Indian"), who is very much an enjoyable character, in the Slim
Pickens tradition. (Alas, he is kilt too soon!)
(Note to Charles: The "Hello Barr-isko" by Pete from this episode
would be a good one to scan in.)
