When a dangerous gang of outlaws capture Victoria and try to take her over the border to Mexico, Buck and Manolito find they have more than enough trouble getting her back.
This week's programme in the series on Man and Science today.
Irene Kassorla is an American therapist who has worked in this country with mentally ill children who have apparently no communication with the outside world, children whose parents had almost given up hope of making contact with them. Gradually, under her care, they begin to react; to produce words that are relevant, to frame sentences.
This film, made during actual therapy sessions over a period of six months, shows the remarkable effects of her simple method: how she has given new hope to troubled parents and restored, at least partly, the bridge of communication to three children.
Tonight at 10.30 sees the third day of Trial: The City versus Lauren R. Watson a Black Panther accused of resisting arrest. The trial to date is summarised by Robert MacNeil. The first day the jury was picked. Yesterday the prosecution presented their case.
A non-stop sing-in of familiar tunes with Kiki Dee, Heathmore, Lois Jane, Jackie Lee, Mike Redway, Tom Saffery, Andee Silver, Danny Street and The Fine Tooth Combs
The last programme in the series shows the Victorian age going on into our century; churches, smaller houses for artistic people of moderate means, and the luxury of hotels and living that went on right until 1914. Sir John Betjeman looks at the work of Ninian Comper, Edwin Lutyens and Arthur J. Davis
Defence attorney Leonard Davies, a 28-year-old Denver lawyer, calls his witnesses Teresa 'Terry' Kefilye Mphahlele, Willie James Golloway, and the defendant Lauren Watson himself.
All quietly spoken and civil, their evidence totally conflicts with yesterday's police witnesses. The six-member jury - and the viewer -have to decide just who has been telling the truth in this real-life trial filmed as it took place in Denver, Colorado.
