Richard Arlen, a distinguished actor with a career stretching back to the silent era, plays Bill Jennings who has come to Laramie to marry his sweetheart, one of Lily's girls from The Birdcage. Plans for the wedding are going well until Bill's estranged son arrives looking for revenge for Bill abandoning his wife and baby 18 years before. Gabe Jennings, the son, is played by Johnathan Gilmore who had a short acting career but as John Gilmore went on to fame and fortune as a leading Hollywood writer of true crime and fictional crime stories.
The situation in Laramie gets pretty tense, culminating in a showdown at the Wedding Chapel, where Marshal Dan resolves the situation with some fancy shooting and by revealing that when he checked the county records Bill had split up with his wife and moved to Laramie a year before Gabe was born. This is an interesting episode where Lily gets to show off her sowing skills and wear a mighty fine ensemble to the wedding in the vain hope of encouraging Marshal Dan to propose. Alas, Dan wants to keep their relationship on a flirtatious footing.
