Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired to bring outlaw Bud McPhater (Ed Faulkner) to trial. Unfortunately, rumors persist that Bud's brother has died of diptheria. Before proceeding any further, Paladin, his prisoner and several other people are compelled to await confirmation of those rumors in the town of Soledad Crossing--whose citizens are violently opposed to being exposed to a possible diptheria epidemic. This is the final episode of Have Gun, Will Travel's fourth season. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
