In this episode, a prison wagon with a convicted felon named Rudy Croft, pulls up to the McCain's ranch and the guard asks Lucas for some whiskey. Lucas sends the wagon on its way and scorns the guards for drinking with a dangerous person in tow.
Later, Croft escapes and the two guards are going to be in trouble. But they hatch a scheme where they will teach Lucas a lesson. Since no one knows the true identity of Rudy Croft, the guards will substitute Lucas McCain for the convicted killer. They load Lucas in the wagon taking him to be hung.
The episode contains Richard Devon that is one of the best villains on TV. And in this show he is at the top of his game as his evil character makes even the novice watcher cheer for his defeat. This is an episode that is made better by the villains instead of the regular cast. Nice watch.
Note- early in the episode, the guard (Devon) gets mad at Croft for talking and takes his gun and rattles the bars on the wagon. Look at the barrel of the gun after he rattles the bars. The barrel is bent.
