The Voyager (1966 Jack Hively, Dick Moder)

The one where Lassie braves a hurricane, stupidly leaps off a ship, is chased by a stock footage shark, is tried for suspicion of being a turkey killer (wins case by having baby turkeys walk harmlessly all around her), is pursued by a bull and helps two stupid Huck and Tom wannabees on a Mississippi raft episode, in which they are all saved from certain death by a mute and very young Richard Kiel! Ends with lots of New Orleans flavour as she and Ranger Cory keep missing each other before the love dog-man ending. Phew!

I guess the whole thing is a Mark Twain adventure - it's even the name of the steam boat that picks her up.

Four episodes stitched together. Mire is on great form as always.
