In the F Troop season 2 episode 21, titled "A Horse of Another Color," the main focus is on the horse of Sergeant O'Rourke (played by Forrest Tucker). O'Rourke is very proud of his horse, which he believes is the best horse in the whole cavalry. However, trouble soon arises when the horse is declared unfit for duty and is ordered to be sold at the next auction.
O'Rourke is devastated by the news and decides to do whatever it takes to keep his beloved horse. He comes up with a plan to paint the horse a different color so that it will not be recognized at the auction. O'Rourke enlists the help of Corporal Agarn (played by Larry Storch) and the other members of F Troop to carry out his plan.
The plan seems foolproof, but things start to go awry when the newly painted horse is mistaken for a wild stallion and captured by the Indians. O'Rourke and his friends must now find a way to rescue the horse before it is too late.
