Paladin's tailor gets murdered at his own gold mine, and his daughter is over her head dealing with the mine managers, Robert Wilke and Robert Steele. They may have killed her father, so they could steal the mine away.
Paladin comes to town to play a random drifter and work at the mine, so he can find out what is going on. He starts the episode by facing down Chris Alcaide. Then he starts working at the mine, and discovers that the managers are selling mining time at $25 per person, per day. The miners keep all the best ore, and turn in the worst ore, which is "company grade."
Paladin exposes the fraud, and has to take out Robert Steele in a gunfight. Then he still has to explain it to Susan Cabot, and she doesn't believe that Wilkes is a bad guy (apparently she never watched him on TV!!??).
Eventually Paladin saves the day, and Wilkes meets his maker. This episode has a good story. The conflict between Paladin and Cabot, because she has no trust in him, is good drama.
