Legend - Bone of Contention
Legend
Bone of Contention
We return to the world of Ernest Pratt aka Nicodemus Legend as he gets himself involved in the conflict between the pursuit of science and the pursuit of money when Dinosaur fossils are discovered near Sheridan soon followed by death and betrayal.
When a man dies bringing a dinosaur fossil to the Professor the search is on for the location of the find and who is responsible for his death. After Ernest is knocked unconscious he wakes much later with Beth McMillan (Beth Toussaint) watching over him, some mild and unsuccessful flirting later he along with Bartok are tasked to solve the mystery of her dead brother. Naturally things get complicated when a mysterious stranger appears in town who may or may not be a Federal agent but his allegiance is questioned after some vigorous investigation by our dynamic duo. Ultimately the race is on to discover the exact location of the dinosaur and for the truth to be revealed.
Bone of Contention was a lot of fun, we get Ernest suffering from writer’s block and having strange dreams, a mystery involving a dinosaur and a young woman in need of assistance and quite a few twists and turns on the way to the resolution. No outstanding performances in this episode but all the guest actors played their parts well in this entertaining and well written episode.
