This installment of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" is set in the old west. Del (Gene Barry) and Red (Darren McGavin) have a feud brewing between them...and when they meet, they have vowed to kill each other.
Triggers in Leash" is the very first really bad episode of "Alfred Hitchcock Presents". Its biggest problem is that there's only enough material for a 5-10 minute episode at most....and it seems to drag on and on and on. Add to that some serious overacting by Gene Barry and Darren McGavin and you've got a recipe for boredom. As for Ellen Corby...she's given a better part and some comes off much better in this terrible episode. See it...you'll see what I mean.
By the way, it was funny that at the epilogue, Hitchcock began by saying 'Isn't that disappointing?'. I think he might have been referring to how it ended...though it sure could have been a commentary about the entire episode!! I prefer to think the latter!!
