Palladin accompanies the lovely Annette (Lita Milan) to claim the mine left to her by her late admirer Leadhead (Earle Hodgins). When he gets to the town, Paladin discovers Leadhead's crooked partner Crawford (Whit Bissell) plans to challenge the will--and keep Paladin and Annette away from the hearing at any cost.
This is a good episode that lets Boone play lawyer as well as have a little of the usual gun play. Hodgins has a touching performance as the old man who's life is enlivened by the innocent Annette and the episode is enriched by the presence of several other old character actors, notably Ralph Moody as the Judge and Tom London (who used to play the comic sidekick to Sunset Carson) as one of the jurors.
In addition, Milan is both sweet and hot at the same time. The year she would star with Paul Newman in "Left Handed Gun" then according to her IMDb bio, a couple of years later she left the business to marry the son of a South American dictator--making her own life as exciting as some of the parts she played!
