A mighty fine episode.

Keno is let out of nine years of prison for a crime he was innocent of....Our Jarrod takes him under his wing and helps him re-adjust to life outside.

Barbara Stanwyck's old friend K.T. Stevens ("The Great Man's Lady') appears as Meg, the disillusioned photographer and yellow-toothed Bruce Dern gets a well-deserved back-of-the-hand (slap) from Victoria The acting is above par and the poor individual who played Keno took his own life in reality.

The story is a great one of compassion/jealously/revenge and forgiveness.

This wonderful show usually had a moralistic ending - but it wasn't 'preachy' - just entertaining.

Jarrod learns that a man he prosecuted and sent to prison nine years earlier is going to be released, because it turns out he was innocent. Wracked with guilt, Jarrod tries to help Keno Nash restart his life, but Keno was part of a gang on the waterfront before he went to jail. Members of this gang killed Bruce Dern's mother and he wants Keno's head for it. He goads Keno into trying to kill Jarrod.

Keno realizes Jarrod is trying to help him, but he's gullible and Dern drills into that. One of the best scenes is at the end, where Jarrod chases Keno on foot but steps into a bear trap. The trap crushes is ankle and he needs Keno's help to get out of it. Richard Long made a believer of me - that bear trap snapping shut on his ankle HURT. The kicker is that I read something of Charles Briles (who played youngest Barkley son Eugene) that when they filmed that scene, they lost the light, and had to film Jarrod fighting immense pain, being snared in a trap, and trying to get Keno to forget the past and help him - all with Long lying on the dining room table with a blue backdrop to make it look like they were outside. No bear trap on his leg - he was even wearing only his upper body costume, regular slacks and slippers, not boots - but I bought it - that trap still HURT.
