While Lorne Greene is waiting for $12,000.00 in cash at a land office being delivered by Dan Blocker, Hoss has been arrested by Sheriff Denver Pyle in a
nearby town when he suspects the money could be part of loot from a recent
bank robbery.
There's murder involved here also as banker Roy Roberts's son-in-law was killed and the only description they have is the robber was a big fellow, Easy to see
why this would be hung on Dan Blocker.
Pyle is a man not up to the job and won't let Blocker go even after he thinks he
just might be innocent. A lynch mob is brewing and stoking the fires there is the widow of the deceased, Olive Sturgess. It's a recipe for the tragedy that
unfolds.
Kudos going out to Olive Sturgess for a great performance as the widow whose grief is the catalyst for the events unfolding.
