At the same time that Adam Cartwright is taking a $10,000.00 endorsed bank draft to Virginia City, a posse is raised by Sheriff Frank Ferguson is raised to go
after a pair of escaped convicts from the state prison one of whom is James Coburn, one mean and deadly dude.
I won't go into the plot details but Coburn has the posse thinking he's a prison guard and Pernell Roberts is a prisoner he's caught. Coburn plays the posse like piccolos with the exception of Frank Ferguson and Whit Bissell. Most especially he's got young punk deputy Jack Chaplain thinking that lynching is just the thing to do.
Coburn is a study in mesmerizing evil in this Bonanza story.
