Benjamin Coey (Mort Mills) insists that he is innocent of the murder of a man named Bryson, but the fact that he has molested Bryson's wife (Barbara Hayden) and killed two members of the posse sent to find him does not help his credibility. Nonetheless, Paladin (Richard Boone) agrees to protect Coey long enough to stand trial--placing himself in the line of fire from Mrs. Bryson's vengeful brothers. This is the first of several Have Gun--Will Travel episodes directed by Ida Lupino. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
