Both Slim Sherman and Jess Harper during the Laramie series run very rarely
got too seriously involved with women, both guys were about getting whatever
job was at hand done. But in this story John Smith is courting the very
coquettish Carolyn Craig who is the daughter of Overland Stage supervisor
Parley Baer.
I think Slim was wasting his time here and probably after giving it some thought would have passed. She decides to make John Smith jealous and uses the courtly Ray Danton as a foil.
But Danton is a dangerous man, a fast gun who really hates the female species if you read between the lines. He and a partner Peter Whitney have a love 'em and extort the father kind of scheme going though the story never really makes clear what Whitney's part is other than act as a brake on Danton's occasional bad impulses.
I think you can understand where this one is headed, certainly not to the altar for Slim Sherman.
