Gunman comes to call
bkoganbing8 August 2020
Lyle Bettger who made a career ofplaying a lovely variety of psychotic villaind on the big and small screen plays a former sheriff in this Bonanza story. Gunman Charles Maxwell fresh out of prison comes to call and with Lorne Greene and Dr. Edward Platt as witnesses and holding them shoots Betger's son Jack Easton,Jr., when he goes for a gun.

Bettger who normally would play the gunman is fine as the father who goes quite a bit off when his son dies. And Maxwell is really one evil dude.

Grat climax scene involving, Bettger, Maxwell, Greene, Pernell Roberts and Anne Benton as Bettger's daughter.

Lyle Bettger is always good even as a good guy for a change.

OK in spite of unbelievably dumb scenes
Cuppajoe2go27 December 2021
First off, I'll just say Sheriff Coffee was a hindrance in Bonanza. His character was a complete goof, always screwing up. This episode suffered from ridiculous scenes, like when Ben checked out a room for safety and then got jumped on by the bad guy. Not well thought out in my opinion. But, cool to be with the Cartwrights for another comforting episode.
