While from an innocent time and very folksy, the series often has plots where the central characters outwit mischevious or outright dishonest characters, usually with some very clever, ironic and hilarious twists.
In this episode, an indian chief brings his daughter to Daniel Boone, explaining to Boone she is promised in marriage to the son of a rival tribe they've been historically at war with, to create peace between the tribes. But it soon becomes clear she doesn't want to marry the rival chief's son, and the mission is a difficult one for Boone and his friends.
The Princess is resourceful, mischevious, strong-willed, and more dangerous than she looks, and puts high demands on her captors to provide for her, which are very funny in the way things play out.
