A letdown
6 December 2019
Sometimes in this life you do see things in people that you want to see and when they fail to live up to your expectations it's a letdown.

This is what happens to Ben Cartwright who is among others pushing General Dean Jagger for governor. A heroic statue is erected in his little Nevada town. But also coming to town is Laurence Luckinbill who is an investigative reporter and is sure the general and his statue have feet of clay.

Jagger comes off as a hero at first. But the Indian Wars have maimed him psychologically. He's not a pretty sight with his guard down.

This story had one very weird ending
