The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West movie trailer

Movie trailer for The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West – starring Bob Denver, Forrest Tucker
In a nutshell, “The Wackiest Wagon Train in the West” is simply three episodes of “Dusty’s Trail,” an attempt by Sherwood Schwartz to re-create the success of Gilligan’s Island, only set in the American Old West. The basic casting is the same – the seasoned wagon-master, performed very well by Forrest Tucker, the well-meaning foul-up Dusty, played by Bob Denver, effectively re-creating his Gilligan character, a millionaire and his wife, a starlet, a “girl next door” (a schoolmarm in this case), and an educated professor, all trying to make it to California during the Gold Rush time period.
