Family Theater urges you to pray. Pray together as a family. Probably the most picturesque, exciting and romantic ten years in American history were those of the years of the gold rush in California. They have been immortalized and fictions by the pens of Mark Twain and Bret Hart.

But the bravery and daring of their fictionalized heroes pale and insignificant under the spell of an actual hero of those times, for not since the days of Robinhood, as have been the glamour, the intrigue, the dashing romance that is synonymous with the name of Joaquin Murietta.

Yes Joaquin Murietta, an outlaw whose exploits have become legend, a man of whom ten thousand tales have been told, and remains a mystery to this day despite that. The Tonight Family Theater stars Ricardo Montelban in an episode from the fabulous life of Joaquin Murrieta.
