Though his usual fee is a flat thousand dollars, Paladin willingly accepts the $82.17 offered him by timid young barber Ernie Teller (Dean Harens). It seems that Ernie is in love with a proud and haughty beauty named Belle Hooper (Bonnie Bolding), but two tough gunslingers are already vying for her affections. Ernie simply wants his rivals to avoid killing each other, but Paladin changes the scenario when he discovers that Belle has deliberately set the gunslingers at each other's throats merely to make Ernie jealous! This episode was written by future Mission: Impossible producer Bruce Geller. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
