Robert Ryan plays Lawman who finally after 30 years lays his badge and his notorious methods down to marry and move West. His nickname was "Shotgun Bob". As we learn "Bob Stuart" and "Coop Smith" had a near fatal (for Coop) run in 10 years before that left "Coop" in the hospital and one of his friends disabled for life. This episode exposes some very grey areas in "Coops" past. However, "Coop" has moved away from the moniker "Gun for Hire". "Coops" former friends have not. And cause a great deal of problems for the train as well as "Coop". Calvin Clements is the writer. The synergy between "Bob Stuart", "Coop Smith" is very good.
Also of note: Vera Miles shines in the role as "Bob Stuarts" wife.
