An epidemic of rustling has fueled the flames of a possible range war between the cattlemen and the nesters. Ex-sheriff Dan Logan (Steve Forrest) is hired to stop the war before it starts, while rancher Slater (Warren Kemmerling), convinced that the nesters are responsible for the trouble, offers a $300 dollar reward for every rustler brought in by Logan, dead or alive. The Cartwrights become involved when Slater himself commits murder, then tries to frame Logan for the crime. A poignant subplot involves Logan's efforts to reform an ex-prostitute named Anita (Miriam Colom), a denizen of Viriginia City's notorious D Street. First shown on October 19, 1969, "To Stop a War" was written by Carey Wilbur. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
