Dan Duryea guest stars in this one as a US Marshal from San Francisco on the hunt for a fugitive in Virginia City. Said fugitive is a friend of the Cartwrights, but when Duryea saves the life of Pernell Roberts from a pair of bushwhackers who thought it was Duryea coming up the trail instead of Adam, the Cartwrights are in a pickle over who to believe.
As George Sanders is usually an English cad, Dan Duryea perfected the American cad role. Not that he hasn't played good guys on the big screen and the small, but he's so much better as a smarmy villain you just love to hate.
I remember in a couple of reviews of other things he's appeared in, I've written that he fools you when he turns out not to be a cad. But that isn't what happens in this episode of Bonanza.
