Storyline
Did you know
- Trivia"Groat's Grudge" was the title of the original radio episode that aired 8 February 1959. In that version, the protagonist looking for Tom Haskett was named Yancy Groat. The protagonist here is named Lee Grayson. This is the second example of a radio-episode title should have been changed because a character's name was changed for the TV version (see also Marshal Proudfoot (1959)).
- GoofsWhen Grayson threatens Haskett, his cap-and-ball revolver is not loaded (nothing visible in the chambers). Even to fire blanks (as it later does), the pistol cylinder should have grease over the open ends of the chambers to prevent multiple ignition.

When Can We Schedule This Turkey
Another lesser entry in a string of them. Perhaps the producers figured few would be watching during the holidays anyway. Southern gentleman Lee Grayson (Ross Elliot, with a drawl that sort of comes and goes) rides into Dodge and rather imperiously seeks out a plain box coffin, and an overhaul of his old Colt revolver. It seems he's carrying a Civil War grudge against a Yankee officer whose life he spared, but who ended up a thousand miles away burning down his house and killing his wife. If this sounds improbably coincidental, just wait till the doubly improbable climax, which, aside from being implausible, is also very poorly staged. I wish there were something to recommend here, but except for the somewhat promising beginning, this entry remains an eminently forgettable one. (In passing-- Why is the 30 minutes entitled "Groat's Grudge" when the character's name is Grayson? Was there a last minute change from the plebeian Groat to the more aristocratic sounding Grayson. Oh well, given the meagre results, it hardly matters.)
