Two actors bring this show alive with great performance that keeps the viewer interesting the entire hour. Kevin Coughlin that plays the shy young Randy Gogan and L.Q. Jones that plays the newspaper writer, Sumner Pendleton, determined to write a story even if the truth is overlooked. These two actor shine making this a nice watch for any western viewer.
Randy actually backs in to killing a known gunslinger and wanted man named Vance Jessop. Jessop was actually trying to kill Randy because he reconsigned him but missed and Randy was able to get a lucky shot off killing Jassop. Now he is the talk of the town.
In comes newspaper writer Pendleton that starts putting hero status inside Randy's head. He demands that Randy get Jassop's gun and show it off since it has killed over fifteen men. Pendleton also makes Randy practice shooting so that he can become a marksman at the Dodge Turkey Shoot.
Everything is going well until Randy meets another gunslinger named Wade Pasco. Pasco wants to face the newest gunman, Randy, in a duel gunfight. With the help of Pendleton a time and place is set for the shy Randy and the gunslinger Pasco to meet in a showdown.. Pendleton is playing both sides of the fence and walk with the last gunfighter standing.
This could have been a disappointing episode if not for the fine acting of Coughlin and Jones. Coughlin was perfect as the nervous shy kid that keeps being feed hero status. Jones is perfect as the writer that keeps feeding both sides of people's inner feelings. Sometime a good cast makes a good show.
