Storyline:
Mr. Proctor is shot, and Yancy finds a Confederate half dollar in his dying hand. After traveling by horseback to a plantation mansion in Baton Rouge, Yancy learns of the (supposed) sudden death of General Stafford. However, the General is actually still alive, and his coffin instead contains a horde of $500,000 worth of silver and gold bullion, sent from Richmond (originally intended, evidently, for the production in New Orleans, of Confederate coins). The grand-daughter Gloria is engaged to marry the suspicious Earl Bartley. Yancy looks for clues, but is interrupted by one of the conspirators, and taken at gunpoint to a back shed to be shot. Instead, Yancy's bodyguard Pahoo whacks the bad guy on the head, and also finds the tied-up General. They decide to disguise the General as a Union soldier, and board the Sultana steam wheeler, bound south to New Orleans. Eventually, the cache of gold and silver, hidden in cotton bales, is lost in the Mississippi River. Gloria's wedding to Bartley is called off, and he and his buddies are arrested.
Reviews:
""Yancy Derringer" was one of those series that dared to be different, a 'Western' that was set in post-Civil War New Orleans. If your memories of Jock Mahoney are of him as a lean, middle-aged Tarzan in his two 1960s appearances as the Ape Man, the show may be something of a surprise. He is soft-spoken, smooth, and dapper, here, and altogether 'cool'.
Loaded with a laid-back charm, an Indian partner (X Brand) unique in series television in his status as the hero's 'equal' and not just a 'sidekick' (an episode where the pair take the grievances of the Indian nations to Congress is a personal favorite), and one of the most beautiful theme songs of fifties television, the short-lived program is certainly as 'watchable' as the more successful "Have Gun, Will Travel", "Wanted: Dead or Alive" and the other more 'adult' westerns of the period.
If the series re-emerges on one of the 'nostalgia' channels, check it out...you won't be disappointed!"

Thanks for sharing. I was just talking about the mystery of the lost fortune from the Confederate Treasury with a friend on Sunday. Deo vindice.

Better!
Thankfully, the Southern Belles in excessive distress were minimized in this one, which action for the better most part took place novelly away from N'orleans.
We shall see what next old No. 8 is to render . . .
