Bonanza: A Knight to Remember (1964) (TV)

Adam is riding back in a stagecoach after having concluded a business deal when the stagecoach is attacked by thieves. After they knock the driver unconscious, a man dressed as a medieval knight appears and scares them off. Adam is surprised by the sheriff's deputy at the side of the unconscious driver and the open safe, and is accused of trying to rob the stagecoach.

Part of the premise is exactly Don Quijote. Also, it is an ingenious tale whose bottom line is that being the sole witness of madness makes you mad as well.
