Good plot setup with the rancher getting bit by a rattlesnake that somebody planted in his liquor cabinet.
But the story is off a little bit, largely because actor Andrew Prine (as character "Jim Howard") is not at his best in this show. He is over-acting, he comes across very stilted and artificial, and there is absolutely no chemistry between "Jim Howard" and his new wife "Liza Mills" (actress Katherine Justice).
The human-interest story with adopted son "Kevin Mills" (actor Vincent Van Patten) adds a nice touch. Is it possible that Kevin killed his foster father?
Barnaby Jones had to know from the start who the killer was... he just needed the motive and the proof. Some predictable action, nothing spectacular.
An entertaining show, but I can only rate it 7 stars.
