Bunch Quitter?
Johnny_West16 April 2022
I never heard of a bunch quitter. I guess since the beginning of gangs, quitting the gang is not allowed.

In this case, the episode starts out with a bunch of grubby nasty guys shooting another guy who happens to ride by to get a doctor for his wife. Edd Byrnes is with the Dirty Bum Bunch, but he is clean and he is wearing a really nice black gunslinger's outfit.

Frank Ferguson is the leader of the Dirty Bum Bunch, Ferguson mostly played annoying gossips and townies who would encourage lynchings, and vigilante justice. It was nice to see him get a bullet in his guts, and crawl on the ground as he died.

When Edd Byrnes quits the Dirty Bum Bunch, Ferguson tells him that nobody quits his bunch. Thereafter, the remaining four losers trail Byrnes and repeatedly tell him he is a "bunch-quitter." I have to wonder who wrote this junk?

Meanwhile, for no logical reason, Byrnes finds the sick wife of the guy that the Dirty Bum Bunch killed, and he feels compassion for her, and dedicates himself to nursing her back to health.

The Dirty Bum Bunch eventually catch up to Byrnes, as does Marshall Dan Troop (John Russell). As tradition requires in a Western, all hell breaks loose, and no less than seven characters engage in an episode-ending gunfight.
