Bonanza, a 14-season American Western television program, recounted the adventures and moral dilemmas faced by the Cartwrights, a fictional family of ranchers living in the one-thousand-square-mile Ponderosa Ranch. Lorne Green played the patriarch, Ben Cartwright. At the same time, Michael Landon, Dan Blocker, and Pernell Roberts portrayed his sons, Little Joe, Hoss, and Adam.

Anthony Lawrence wrote the forty-second episode, The Last Viking, which aired in 1960. Neville Brand makes an appearance as a guest star.

In this episode, Ben’s friend, Gunnar Borgstrom, arrives at the Ponderosa to visit the Cartwrights on his way to Canada. However, Gunnar’s visit dismayed Ben as he discovered that his friend was traveling with a gang of outlaws. The situation becomes even more upsetting for Ben when the fiends take Little Joe and his sweetheart as hostages.

Full Story Line for The Last Viking

Hoss was helping a cow get out of the mud when a stranger came and asked about the Ponderosa. It appears that the stranger was their long-lost family relative, one of Ben Cartwright’s late wives’ brothers, Gunnar Borgstrom.

Gunnar is heading to Dakota, Canada, with a few compadres to seek their fortune. However, they didn’t ride with him down the mountains because they weren’t as friendly as him. The family invites him to supper, where Gunnar shares his visit to various countries. Unbeknownst to the Cartwrights, Gunnar leads a gang called Comancheros, who raid white settlements and trade goods to the Comanches. A knock interrupts their supper as one of Gunnar’s compadres, Vaca, arrives to request something to keep them warm as they sleep in the mountain. Gunnar orders him to return to their camp as Adam hands them a few blankets. Gunnar thanks Ben for the food and is about to leave. However, the family insists he spends the night in their house instead of returning to the mountain. Although hesitant, Gunnar accepts their offer. Meanwhile, at the table, Adam thinks their uncle Gunnar resembles an old Viking, to which Hoss agrees. However, Ben thinks Vikings are ruthless raiders that are no better than the Comancheros.

Gunnar and Ben talk about their life before they go to sleep. Gunnar later revealed his reason for visiting the Ponderosa: to see his sister’s son.

Meanwhile, Vaca returns to the rest of the Comancheros, saying Gunnar was eating good food with his relatives while they eat dry bread in their camp. The rest of the group believes Gunnar has been a good leader, but Vaca refuses this idea. He later declares the first goose they’ll steal would be at the Ponderosa.

The following day, Hoss offers to show the Ponderosa to Gunnar before he leaves. On the other hand, Little Joe is out visiting his girlfriend, Carrie. He also helped Carrie’s uncle, Abe, build a fence. It appears that the Cartwrights supported Abe and Carrie to start anew.

Hoss and Gunnar reach a lake in the Ponderosa. Hoss asks Gunnar to tell him more about his mother, considering he’s her brother. Gunnar reveals they didn’t get along well since they have opposite personalities. Hoss asks Gunnar to stay with them, but Gunnar tells him that he loves moving around.

Gunnar bids his farewell to the Cartwrights. Unfortunately, he had to leave before meeting Little Joe.

Gunnar returns to the camp where the Comancheros are preparing to move out. Vaca ordered the group to buckle up, making the rest of the Comancheros believe that Gunnar was getting soft, considering he had met his relatives. Vaca asks Gunnar to loot the Ponderosa to prove his strength and authority. Gunnar refuses, saying it’ll be dangerous since there are too many men at the ranch. Another rancher discloses that there’s another ranch in the foothills that they can raid. Upon hearing this, Gunnar declares that they’ll loot that area instead.

Little Joe and Carrie are heading back to the ranch when the Comancheros arrive, shooting everywhere. Carrie finds her uncle Abe and Mr. Crager shot, so she mindlessly rushes toward the area. The Comancheros see the couple, and Vaca takes an interest in Carrie. Joe stops Vaca, but he punches him to the ground. Vaca asks for Joe’s name, and upon hearing that he’s a Cartwright, he tells Gunnar that they’ll take Joe as a hostage.

Back at the camp, Vaca insists that Gunnar is Joe’s relative. Joe refuses to believe. Vaca reveals Gunnar’s real name, and Joe recognizes it as Hoss’s uncle’s name. Still, Joe refuses to believe, saying he’s a filthy murderer, far from the person described to him when they were kids.

Vaca tells some of the Comancheros that there’s a pain in Gunnar’s eyes, insisting he’s dying. He later asks Duzzaq to find him a snake, despite knowing Gunnar hates such.

Meanwhile, Abe McClaine arrives weakly at the Ponderosa. The Cartwrights found him barely alive, so they quickly carry him inside.

Duzzaq returns to camp with a rattlesnake in a bag, much to Gunnar’s surprise. The Comancheros make a bet on which direction the rattlesnake will head. Vaca pulls the bag from Duzzaq’s hand, dropping the snake. It headed towards Joe, ready to strike, but Gunnar shot it dead. Vaca ordered Duzzaq to get a snake to make the Comancheros believe Gunnar was no longer fitting to be a leader. After a fistfight, Gunnar kept his authority, and no one dared to go against him. As the Comancheros prepare to sleep, Gunnar discretely kicks the knife toward Joe, subtly helping them escape.

Hoss and Adam return to the Ponderosa, reporting the damaged and looted area, and Crager’s death, with no sign of seeing Joe and Carrie. Abe wakes up, describing the gang leader who robbed the place. They realize it was Gunnar, but Hoss couldn’t believe it after their time at the lake. Hoss later initiates to search for Little Joe. They agree to split up for a moment, then meet on top of a ridge so they can save Little Joe together.

Little Joe and Carrie untied themselves using the knife Gunnar kicked earlier. However, Vaca saw them leave, following them with a gun he picked from the ground. Joe stumbled as they ran to escape, hurting his ankle. He tells Carrie to keep running, and although she doesn’t want to, she immediately complies. Joe stands up and starts walking weakly but falls again after Vaca shoots him by surprise. Startled, Carrie cried loud enough for the rest of the Comancheros to hear. Carrie continues running until she encounters Hoss. She tells him that Joe’s dead.

Hoss and Carrie head back and find Gunnar. Carried tried to tell him the truth, but Hoss brushed her off, thinking Gunnar killed Little Joe. He attacked Gunnar out of rage, and they engaged in a fight. Hoss was about to shoot Vaca when Joe approached them with a shot on his chest. Joe tells Hoss that Gunnar helped them escape, much to his surprise.

Vaca shouts from a distance, threatening to kill Hoss, Joe, and Carrie. Gunnar, with his remaining strength, shoots Vaca. However, Vaca retaliated immediately, and Hoss shots him dead.

Gunnar asks for Hoss’ forgiveness before he dies in his arms.

Hoss returns to the lake, reminiscing the moment he shared there with his uncle Gunnar.

ponderosa before you leave we ain't had

much of a chance to get to know each

other

well it ain't every day that a man just

finds an uncle sure sonny

come back again so soon

yeah yes sir i

i sure would like you to meet little joe

before you leave too he's over to

mclean's helping him build a fence he

ought to be back anytime

aren't you even going to stop working

long enough to have a drink of water

gary just looking at you is more

refreshing anything you've got in that

bucket but

i can use some of that too your flattery

little joe is succeeded only by your

ability to build a fence

since you walked only out here won't you

stay awhile let me show you what i've

done oh i know what you've done

uncle abe has been singing your praises

all morning he thinks you're

just about the finest thing there ever

was

and uh how about you what do you think

well i told you i was glad you came over

to help out didn't i

mm-hmm is that the only reason you're

glad

you know it isn't it's just that i want

you to know

i think it's wonderful the way you and

your paw and adam and horse have

helped uncle abe and me since we've been

here well it's pretty easy to help a man

like your uncle

especially when he's got a beautiful

niece to say thanks for him i think

you're a flutter

little joe just like your paw thank you

man we try to please

can't you ever be serious now you know

how proud we are your uncle

he's done a lot more with this place

than we ever thought possible because

your cartwrights have helped him little

joe

he was so discouraged when he came here

the drought and the wind and crop

failures

we had such big dreams well i think his

biggest dream was raising you after your

folks died

he's done a real fine job hasn't been

easy for him

sometimes i feel i've been a burden hey

better not let him hear you say that

he's proud as a peacock of you

i'd say with good cause

i feel guilty about you working around

here so much

i wouldn't mind becoming the permanent

fence fixer around here

there it is uncle gunner ain't that the

prettiest little pond you ever saw

yeah this is a good place

a quiet place pretty as a pond i never

see

[Music]

uncle gunner

there's something i've been wanted to

ask you you know as just a little feller

could but

brother you could

you could add something to it well

wild one and

she didn't like that so much but she had

a

soft heart that girl paul says she sure

was pretty

great big blue eyes and blonde hair

ah blonde as a snows of dollar now

but it ain't good to talk about the dead

center you you can't bring nobody back

once they're gone

no i reckon you can't

i guess that's why i wanna know as much

about you as i can

before you have to leave you want to

know about me

i just didn't understand don't you go

getting stuck in the mud sonny sometimes

it's not so easy to get house

i'm not asking forgiveness from nobody

you here

but i done i done because i fought

wanted

forgive me son bye

[Music]

chef tells me the chair has pulled out

bosses after him uncle gonna like this

place

he said it was peaceful quiet

said it was a good place i guess that's

what he was always

looking for peace and quiet

a little boat that was always just out

of his reach

one little boat oh

bodhi was always dreaming about

[Music]

paul you said that

it wasn't possible for a man to see

inside another man

deep enough to know what he was really

like

[Music]

i think i did just before he died

come on he he wouldn't want us to mourn

over him

no no i reckon he won the dead

he just wasn't that sort of man was he

[Music]

you
