A Woman's Perspective
mitchrmp7 December 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Wayne Robinson was a young boy who had been raised by his uncle since he was only ten or eleven. His uncle was one of those harshly religious men who didn't believe in saloons or any of those things, but when Wayne was finally old enough to drink, he went into a saloon to do just that.

Two other young men were there. One was Billy Griggs and he made fun of Wayne. Wayne, naturally, started a fight. He got arrested and his uncle had to pay a steep fine to get him out. His uncle, being the harsh man he is, whipped him good and hard.

Soon, Billy Griggs shows up in town over his horse - dead!

Going into this, you know the case isn't going to be cut and dry, and before long it becomes pretty obvious who the killer is. The story has a few turns in it, pointing to an unexpected person. Then it points to another.

Only one man died in this episode. Another probably will die soon.

Client: Robinson
Prismark1011 February 2023
It's Wayne Robinson's (Robert Blake) birthday and he goes down to the saloon to celebrate.

Only he cannot hold his liquor and the others riddle him. All because of young Wayne's fanatical Uncle Aaron Robinson (John Dehner.) A religious man who forbids alcohol.

When Wayne gets involved in a bar fight with loudmouth Billy Griggs for mocking him. Uncle Aaron has to pay for the damage to the bar, $100.

A disgusted Uncle Aaron publicly whips his nephew for drinking and going to the saloon.

When Billy Griggs is later found dead and his money stolen. Wayne is arrested and Clay Culhane agrees to look into his case.

Uncle Aaron accuses several suspects that he accuses. One of them was someone he fired for stealing.

A few twists here but one angry man was always going to be in the fame if young Wayne was going to be saved.
