At the epilogue, Hitchcock states 'Isn't that disappointing?' He is right and Hitchcock knew it.
Del Delaney (Gene Barry) and Red Hillman (Darren McGavin) are two feuding cowboys who bicker and threaten each other.
The showdown takes place in a roadhouse run by Maggie Ryan (Ellen Corby.)
She tries to stop them from having a shootout but the clock is running down. Only a miracle might save them.
This is a dull piece, the pair argue like two old washerwomen. It comes across as unintentionally camp.
The twist and its explanation is effective enough but not enough to save the story.
Hitchcock makes a nice gag about Maggie's cooking.
