Al Denton is a shameful drunk, who does anything for alcohol. He used to be a famous gunslinger, but now he's nothing but a drunk. He pines for the days when people feared his abilities with a gun. He is constantly victimized by the town bully, Dan Hotailing. A mysterious man suddenly shows up, and fate might be in Denton's hand to try and redeem his life. I enjoyed this episode. The Western setting was certainly well done, and I love a good story about redemption and revenge. This didn't seem like your usual Twilight Episode. It lacks the awe and the wonder that a Twilight Zone episode has. I love this show because the unspeakable happens, and you never know what comes next, because of the vast unpredictability. This doesn't have any of that. Dan Dureya is great as Denton, and makes for a lovable hero. But it seems misplaced. I realize this show is only 25 minutes or so, but this could have really benefited from longer running time, so I could get more into Denton's plight. It does manage to cram things in quite adroitly, though. Don't get me wrong. I did like it, and it is enjoyable. It's just not as good as some episodes. Make sure you watch out for a young Martin Landau as Dan Hotailing. He plays Denton's nemesis, who bullies Denton. I didn't recognize him at first
