This show was first telecast on September 8, 1959 and ran through June 2, 1960. The series was produced by Kirk Douglas' production company, Brynaprod In this Viking tale, tensions rise after a hunting trip when Leif, son of King Firebeard, confronts Modolf for mistreating his prized horse. Later, Modolf is found dead, and Thrand accuses Leif of murder, demanding blood money. A Viking trial, or "lotting," is held, where witnesses claim Leif threatened and shot Modolf. Though Leif insists he only intended to warn him, he is found guilty and sentenced to pay a fine. Refusing to admit guilt, Leif is banished for three winters. While in hiding, Leif uncovers proof that Modolf was killed not by an arrow but by an axe blow. He presents the evidence before the king and the court, clearing his name.
