This is a very good episode, well acted especially by the guests Leif Erickson, Michael Sarrazin, and Karl Swenson, and well written. I spotted only a couple of minor faults and both were dumped on famous veteran ex-sheriff Bill King (Erickson). Now, Bill must have been plenty savvy to have lived so long in those days and even flourished as a lawman. So, why, when he plans the takedown of his three outlaw tormentors, does he not allow for them to be waiting in ambush from a vantage point en route? Instead, he drives his wagon up to the huge tree that has somehow parked itself right across the road. Bill pulls up and leisurely hops down, but not before the sharpshooter outlaw gets him with his Winchester from said ambush spot on high. Bill takes this probably fatal shot well, hunkers down under the wagon and kills off two of the baddies with some real fancy long-distance shots. When the ultra-sly ringleader (some mastermind he turns out to be) saunters around the wagon to finish Bill off, Bill not only fails to put bullets into his shins from close range to totally disable him, he waits till he gets around the wagon and then Bill leans out to be a better target. They plug each other for the finale. But it's all a little contrived, making Bill be that dumb just for a sad ending.
