The Gene Autry Show (1951)
Medium: TV Series
Actress: Wendy Waldron

Description: Episode: "Silver Dollars" (2.03)

Doree Tyler (Waldron) shows up unexpectedly at her uncle's ranch, which puts a crimp in a counterfeiting gang's plans, since they just bumped off the rancher. When Ms. Tyler rides to town to arrange for his funeral, two counterfeiters kidnap her. After forcing her off the horse, Thug #1 says, "Better gag her first" which prompts the cute brunette to bolt. Thug #1 then lassos her and says, "Get that gag on her" while Thug #2 applies the silencing triangle-shaped bandanna gag (over the cords of her hat) then wraps the rest of the lasso around her body. In the next shot, we see the two hombres lead Ms. Tyler into the desert, wrists tied in front with more ropes wrapped around her body.

Late in the episode, Ms. Tyler leans out the ranch house window (hands apparently tied behind her back with ropes looped loosely around her body) and begs for Mrs. Mitchell (Louise Lorimer) to untie her. Mrs. Mitchell tells her not to worry, someone will be along -- in a couple of days, perhaps. At which point good ol' Gene pops around the corner and says, "Well, maybe a little sooner than that!)

This episode is a rare example of an Autry production where the cute co-star gets the full treatment. The shots of Ms. Waldon's gagging include some nice close-ups, struggling and mmmphing. When she's tied up, she's wearing a jeans and a tight-fitting cowgirl shirt.
