*Trivia/location/goofs- Air date 1-12-68. Takes place in Cottonwood, Ks. After the first fist fight, West's shirt becomes torn and wet, changing back and forth every shot. Nick Adams was a personal friend of Robert Conrad for many years since they started in Hollywood around the same time. They are the same height. Mr. Conrad's short stature/height for a leading man (5'7") was compensated for with shoe 'lifts' in his boots, casting short stunt people, and short leading ladies.
