This episode has Dan Blocker trying to disarm a drunken Keith Richards when he knocks Richards down and Richards hits his head and dies. Purely an accident, even Beverly Tyler, Richard's girlfriend agrees with that after a while.

But Adam Williams who is Richards's brother comes to town and he waits for a proper time and shoots him from a distance in the back. He uses a large caliber buffalo gun and only a big guy like Hoss Cartwright might have survived it. As it is it was touch and go.

The story switches to Little Joe at this point and fans of the series know in his younger days Michael Landon had one quick temper that didn't lessen all that much with maturity. The question is can the rest of the family keep him in line until the proof is there for an arrest and for justice to take its course.

The episode belongs to Michael Landon and to guest star Adam Williams who specialized in mean villains on the big screen and small. You wouldn't this man on your trail.
