Future action-film superstar Charles Bronson is cast against type as Crego, a coward who has built up a reputation as a fast gun by only challenging kids and oldsters who aren't quite as quick on the trigger. Goading his victims into slapping leather, Crego kills every one of them--and Matt (James Arness) can do nothing, since Crego is always able to claim self defense. Somehow, Matt must expose Crego as a yellow-belly without breaking (or even bending) the law himself. Featured in the cast as a townsman is James Nusser, long before he became established in the recurring Gunsmoke role of town drunk Louie Pheeters. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
