Roy Carter (Scott Marlowe) will hang for murder unless Paladin (Richard Boone) can reach the prison in time with news that another man has confessed. Even so, the prison's vengeful warden refuses to enact a stay of execution. It takes the combined efforts of Paladin and prison chaplain Robert April (John Larch) to see that justice is done. Without giving away the ending, it can be noted that the character of Roy Carter would reappear in a later episode, enacted on that occasion by Clu Gulager. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
