Storyline:
Ben and Adam have been convicted of murder and are scheduled to die at 6:00 in the evening. Hawkins' men are in town to make sure it happens.
Hoss and Joe ride up to the jail and tell Ben that they found Duece Martin, a witness. He's dead. He fell or was pushed from a cliff. Sheriff Hansen (Robert Griffin) reminds them that Duece gave a statement immediately after the murder. Joe counters with the fact that Duece then left town and now he's dead. Ben tells Hoss and Joe to do three things: 1. Go talk to the only surviving witness Sally Byrnes (Jean Allison). 2. Stop by the paper. Mr. Baxter (Ian Wolfe) is running a special edition that will make people think. 3. Find Barney Arden (Robert Brubaker) and help him get names for the petition to the governor.
Reviews:
"I have always loved this episode. Not only because of the haunting thought of Pa and Adam Cartwright getting hung, but also because hotty Vic Morrow is in this episode.
The episode begins with a certain eeriness when Adam and Ben are on their last day. Joe and Hoss are doing everything they can possibly to do get a stay of execution. They've gotten one of the townfolk to work on collecting signatures for the governor, but they are also trying to talk to the witnesses.
Then a stranger rides into town. He's looking for some men who wronged somebody he knew, and he means to make it right. At first he thinks it's Ben, but after meeting him and learning of the situation he takes the side of the Cartwright's and is determine the save the father/son duo from begin hung that evening.
A woman's father was killed, and she's the only living witness to tell what had happened. She wants revenge for her father's death, and the whole town is scared of a gang riding into town. Vic Morrow did an excellent performance in this one! His story is sad, and the life he's currently living is even sadder. But a cowboy's gotta do what a cowboy's gotta do." Written by mitchrmp on IMDb.com
"Thuis is one of the grimmest and strangest Bonanza stories ever done. Lorne Greene and Pernell Roberts are about to be hanged chiefly on the testimony of Jean Allison. It's her father that was killed and she says she saw Ben and Adam do the deed. Of course she saw no such a thing.
A mysterious stranger played by Vic Morrow who carries six gun in his pants intervenes on behalf of the Cartwrights. He's fast wth a gun, but does't believe in holsters. Man likes to live dangerously.
A strange man and episode." Written by bkoganbing

Wonderful episode. Vic Morrow was just right for the role of the suave stranger. I have noticed a remarkable thing in this TV show, the female character is also given a crucial part to play, not just a show piece.

[@wally1452]

p.s. I liked Vic Morrow very much; he one excellent actor...and what a story this is. It may be the best episode I ever saw. It would have been great if Lassiter had stayed in the show. He reminded me some of Pernell Roberts. He had that complete coolness about him and he was confident and sure of himself. My! What a great story.

[@LilliLamour]

Vic Marrow was a hell of an actor.

Vic Morrow, one of the best actors ever, especially in Combat! He never got all the recognition he so rightfully deserved.

Lol , it seems they find that out every time in every episode because they are always getting in trouble and almost no one of their "friends" ever helps them they gotta do everything themselves to get out of it.

So sad that we will never have shows like this again. These days all we get are reality shows and talent shows.... Same shows with just a slight difference .... But I guess that's what people want.... Singers , masked singers .... Same shows different name

[@linsqopiring6816]

And even if there was a resurgence of western tv shows, they would be ruined by political correctness. 90 pound women beating up men like Hoss etc

[@zxyatiywariii8]

@linsqo piring Ikr, I'm literally a 90 pound women and I hate that stuff. I stopped watching Star Wars after "The Last Jedi" made Rey impossible, and treated Luke like trash.

[@timfurnier7061]

I wonder if this wasn't a back-door attempt at a spin-off series for Vic Morrow. It sure seems like it.

[@darthnowlan]

Possibly. I would've watched a spin off show like that.

[@katybird7190]

I heard it was supposed to be the Pilot for his show that never happened named "Lassiter".

Adam and Ben were on one side of each other in one scene on the gallows, and in the next, they were on opposite sides.

I'm pretty sure Vic Morrow was in another episode. I think it was The Tin Badge.

[@aaraar4055]

Brilliant. This is Ben Cartwright 's masterpiece. Sally is easily the best looking of the Bonanza women in this season so far. Difficult to understand why the townspeople hate the Cartwrights so much.

yes, directed by Steven Spielberg. I was sad watching this episode knowing the tragic end to Mr Morrow.

And people forget that two children under the age of 8 died with him.

[@multirichardb]

Unfortunately, Vic Morrow was killed making a movie, I won't go into too much description but suffice it to say it involved a helicopter top rotor blade. In this episode the fashion in which he became a somewhat silent good guy, it was obvious who he was looking for, especially after it was't :Ben Cartwright.

[@charleskemp2037]

twilight zone movie. i believe he was carrying a child when the blade struck them.

Bonanza & Gunsmoke were good series, well, some of them were. I used to watch GS a lot but watching Bonanza after a long time of not seeing it, I rather like it more... off & on. Maybe I watch too much sometimes because in each of the 2 series, there is often same old...same old things that get tiresome. In the Bonanza ones Adam & Ben are the best characters (I think) and the best actors. In here one may get tired of Little oe's constant temper all the time or Hoss' making those faces he always has to make for camera because Hoss is not the best actor. Then, I saw 2 episodes one day & I liked them both and since I always liked good film and good books I take in the story and often, if any care to examine them, there is a lot to learn from these characters and tho' I have seen very few good westerns (too much myth & so much made up, fake things,) many episodes really get me pondering...no doubt that is why it lasted 14 years. Adam is the best character in a western I believe & whoever created that character did well.
