Change of heart
mitchrmp21 January 2013
Clay Culhane is the only main character in this episode. His horse is stolen at gunpoint outside Latigo and he traces it to a cabin. A man and his wife and child live here. The child is very sick and at risk of dying. The man is very selfish - only thinking of himself. The woman is a loving wife, willing to risk outlaws to save her daughter.

Clay gets to the cabin in time to keep the man from taking her very sick child. He's raised the girl as his own, but when it comes down to it he has no feelings for the child.

The main "bad" guy in this episode is played by Lee Van Cleef. His character is an interesting one, though his change came a bit too suddenly for me. The ending will leave one questioning what happened next. Our romantic ideals can take over here.

The Cabin
Prismark101 October 2023
Clay Culhane finds himself turning himself from a lawyer into a medic. A desperate man called Wickes steals Clay's horse.

He needs to ride back home and whisk his wife Laurie and stepdaughter away. His wife's ex husband Frank Sandoe (Lee Van Cleef) is riding into town with a small gang.

He plans to kill Wickes for sending him to jail and then marrying his wife. Only Laurie does not want to leave the cabin, her daughter is sick.

Clay Culhane has an idea what might be wrong with her but he needs to deal with Frank once he stands outside the house.

A melodrama, with a cowardly selfish husband. Frank Sardoe who stands in the way of his daughter's health and Clay Culhane as piggy in the middle.

Of course Wickes is only going to be on a loser in this kind of story.
