Ex-convict Davey Hewitt is thrown off the train in Gloribee and is given a warning by Jim Hardie to stay on the straight and narrow. He ends up finding a new job at a blacksmith and befriends Jessamie, the handicapped daughter of Hewitt's and some of his bitterness diminishes. He even takes to the dance and helps her do the waltz. But he has a problem -two members of his old outlaw gang tell him to join them in robbing a bank that contains a large gold shipment for Wells Fargo or his girlfriend will die. Jessamie overhears this ...

Death Raffle is a good episode with a heartwarming story with good performances, especially by Gary Clarke as a bitter ex-jailbird and Bennye Gatteys as the disabled daughter of his employee who helps him lose his bitterness- matter of fact, they both help each other, lending each other a crutch. But then those outlaws come in, ready to spoil the ex-jailbird's chance to turn a new leaf. Nice desert location at the end.
