This episode opens with a man gagged and bound. He looks around at four men as they stand behind him. Then suddenly, the air is filled with smoke from their guns as they shoot him dead.

The next day, Clay is riding to Stillwater when a boy approaches him and tells him that he found a dead man. The dead man is Frank Martin, Clay's friend who was to be married. When Clay talks to his friend's fiancée, he learns that his friend was innocent of robbery and murder.

The remainder of the episode is about Clay trying to find the four men who killed his friend. He didn't want to kill them - just to hold them accountable for what they had done. The episode is a classic example of the damage a group of men can do when there is no law in a town. The ending is bleak and dark. There is no hope. But sometimes that's the way it goes.

In the end, a total of four men are dead, and two injured.

It's a Bad Day at Stillwater. Clay Culhane is on his way to the town of Stillwater to see an old friend only to find that he is dead. A small boy found the body.

Frank Martin is the dead man. He was lynched by four men and he was the friend Culhane was going to see.

When he goes to Stillwater, people are quiet and reluctant to talk. Clay Culhane wants justice rather than revenge.

It turns out that Frank Martin was accused of a crime he did not commit. After he received rough justice, it was found that someone else indeed commit the crime.

Now there is a conspiracy of silence. With Culhane poking his nose around, it is now the turn of the four to silence him.

A well told story, a kind of story done in westerns before. You never sense that Clay Culhane is in any danger.
