Featured review
The New Testament the Bible also Includes
The sight of the giant-sized Peter Whitney striding across the prairie in long coat, big hat, and fired by the righteous wrath of the Lord is a memorable one. He's a cruel, Bible-spouting patriarch with two cowering sons, whom he whips for any perceived transgression. Apparently his Bible reading skipped over the part about Jesus and sinners. Anyway, he's an unforgettable creation and one of the standout villains of the entire series.
The story is about his wreaking punishment with a merciless snarl on any poor devil who falls afoul his righteous obsession. Chester falls afoul by untying a Sabbath-breaking cowboy from Whitney's whipping tree. Now Chester must pay by losing the right hand that unbound the sinner. Needless to say, Chester has some difficulty following the ruthless logic. Though this is a Whitney "tour-de-force", Richard Rust also shines as the doubting son. Good concept and script from series writer John Meston. In passing-- why the episode is entitled "Kangaroo'" beats me since it has nothing remotely to do with marsupials or the Australian outback. My guess is they had to slap a title on the finished screenplay and just any old noun would do.
