Script conspires to make Don Quine's Stacey Grainger character look like an idiot, always having him do the wrong thing at the wrong time and the wrong place in order to make him the perfect patsy in a murder case. The mystery angle saves this episode though, jolting the drifting plot into gear and spurring a headlong gallop-to-the-rescue climax. Charles Bickford dominates as the regal John Grainger, and Lonny Chapman puts a corrosive edge on his role as a spiteful small rancher. Cinematographer Enzo Martinelli casts an adoring glow on beauteous Katherine Walsh, who plays Stacey's sweetheart. Walsh's death in London three years later is a real-life unsolved mystery.

Not my daughter
bkoganbing10 February 2020
This Virginian story focuses on Don Quine and his courting of neighbor Katherine
Walsh daughter of James Gregory. Gregory is a mean man who has some unexplained grudge against the Grangers. For courting and trespassing he drags
Quine back to Shiloh by rope.
Later on Gregory is found shot to death and Gregory's brother Lonny Chapman throws a lot of suspicion in Quine's direction.
The Grangers form a united front and it's Sara Lane who gives Charles Bickford to clear her brother.
No real motivation is given for Gregory's character though which leaves a weak plot here.
