Very modest production guest-starring non-household names Dennis Cooney and Beverlee McKinsey emerges as spicy little drama, with a prickly, it-could-happen-to-you plot line that gains tension precipitously under Anton Leader's direction. Unknowns McKinsey and Cooney fill their deftly written parts admirably: She's sympathetic as a loose woman desperately snatching at a chance for security, and his greedy, mendacious character is cordially hateful. McClure, squirming under the tight frame he's caught in, supplies all the star wattage the episode needs, and veteran dyspeptic heavy Ken Lynch grunts on the good guys' side for a change as a weary but conscientious lawman.

Wonderful acting

Warning: Spoilers
The acting in this episode is absolutely top notch. It is sort of a trite story, but the acting makes it very believable. McClure, the Sheriff, the actual murderer and his girlfriends - all absolutely superb acting. An absolute work of art.
Good, but no suspense

Doug McClure takes center stage in tis episode as Trampas takes a vacation from
Shiloh and winds up in the town of Calumet jail accused of murder. Whom he
murdered is a popular local doctor and the town wants a lynching. Especially
the one who did he deed.
Unfortunately we know the story from the gitgo almost so there's no suspense. Still there are good performances from McClure and from Ken Lynch as the honest sheriff of Calumet.
Good thing for Trampas Lynch was the sheriff.
