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.

around here at that
hey how about me showing you around the
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
i guess i got the time maybe uh i don't
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
when
my mother died i don't remember much
about her
paws tried to tell me everything he
could but
when i i thought maybe you being her
brother you could
you could add something to it well
he didn't get along so good i i was a
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
you wouldn't like what i had to tell
maybe i wouldn't

wouldn't

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

[Music]

it wasn't possible for a man to see
inside another man
deep enough to know what he was really

over him
no no i reckon he won the dead
he just wasn't that sort of man was he
[Music]
