Good action packed episode with a satisfying villain in the bounty hunter making his trade official by becoming a marshal. R. G. Armstrong comes across as a sadistic and unpleasant piece of work, arresting Jess on fake evidence and forcing him to accompany him to a Colorado town where, even if he survives the journey, a local and powerful family intend to see he is lynched. Slim manages to get himself deputised but sticks to his promise upon receiving his badge that he'll do nothing to help Jess get free, even suggesting Jess is handcuffed to a tree overnight where they make camp, adding to the chained up Jess "Get some sleep." ! This would have got a higher rating if not for this point, and the fact that Jess after his escape attempt on a horse bareback, seems to be obliged to continue bareback even though I'm pretty sure all three horses had saddles to start with! (Also nobody ties a horse up for the night with its own bridle.)Robert Fuller again displays some good riding skills in this one. Finally, we have the bad marshal seeing the error of his ways, especially when our two heroes save him from a quicksand, and become a good guy fighting the lynch mob on their side. Cruel psychopaths don't change.
