This is a fine example of the Sugarfoot series concept. "Sugarfoot" aka Tom Brewster (Will Hutchins) is a correspondence school law student traveling the old west doing odd jobs and periodically catching his mail order law school studies. Tom is silver- tongued (lawyer in the making, remember?) and always tries to talk his way out of trouble, sometimes quite amusingly. But when all else fails, his 6-gun is at the ready.
This was our favorite episode of the first season. Paul Fix turns in a terrific performance as well. The entire cast is excellent and the script too. Don Gordon is menacing as hell, Peter Brown plays a wild gun-crazy teenager. It all works out, as TV westerns always did, but unusually satisfactorily.
Highly recommended.
