Edna Raleigh (Peggy Stewart) tries and fails to hire Paladin (Richard Boone) to murder Bram Holden (an atypically cast Buddy Ebsen), the man who killed Edna's husband. However, Paladin agrees to enter the outlaw town of Thornberg and capture Holden for trial. Once this is done, Paladin and Holden head back through the desert, where they cross the path of a crazy man named Possum (Paul Hartman)--who may be neither as crazy nor as harmless as he looks. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
