Plot Summary

Lawman Conny Miller rides into a small dusty town not long after the townsfolk have gunned down the man he's been tracking for four months. He feels like he's wasted that four months and someone bets him $20 he hasn't the nerve to visit the dead man's grave. He takes that bet and has little difficulty going to the grave. Leaving it, however, proves to be another matter altogether. Written by garykmcd

Trivia Conny Miller's hat is called a "Campaign Hat" which can be traced back to the mid-19th century. Although made by many manufacturers, Stetson was a major producer of these hats. Soldiers found the middle crease of their hats to be impractical since it accumulated rain water and they started pushing up the center so it would shed water. Sometime in 1911, the Army adopted this style of hat as "1911 Hat, Service, M1911 (Campaign Hat)". Unofficially it had several names: "lemon squeezer", "mountie hat", "ranger hat", "drill instructor cover", "smokey bear", "the Montana crease", and several others. See more »
Goofs As Conny Miller climbs the hill to the grave, a very prominent vertical line is visible, where the backdrop artwork for "the cloudy night sky" was folded. See more »

Quotes [opening narration]
Narrator: Normally, the old man would be correct: this would be the end of the story. We've had the traditional shoot-out on the street and the badman will soon be dead. But some men of legend and folk tale have been known to continue having their way even after death. The outlaw and killer Pinto Sykes was such a person, and shortly we'll see how he introduces the town, and a man named Conny Miller in particular, to the Twilight Zone.
