Paladin (Richard Boone) receives an urgent message from a notorious con artist named Simon Quill (Adam Williams), who hopes to avoid being hanged on a murder charge. Unfortunately, Paladin cannot forget that Quinn not only once swindled him with a phony gold mine, but also left him to die in Quill's place for his previous crimes. Thus it is that Paladin flately refuses to help Quill this time around--even though he can provide the man with an air-tight alibi. Can a beautiful go-between named Lily Leighton (Barbara Baxley) change Paladin's mind before it's too late? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
