Cowboying it up for the rich
25 July 2018
This 77 Sunset Strip story takes Stu Bailey on a shuttle back and forth from Los Angeles to a dude ranch that's a playground for the rich. One of those rich who is Diane Brewster is found hanging from the barn rafters and at first it's declared a suicide.

That is not satisfactory to Brewster who hires Efrem Zimbalist and sure enough Zimbalist turns up murder on further examination. And there's a ranch full of suspects including owner Reginald Gardiner.

The motive for this crime is financial, but it's seen from a different perspective from the point of view of the culprit. That's all I'll say.

Nice performance by Brewster as a most amoral and promiscuous wife.
