Good episode. Being a Chuck Connors fan, good to see him diversify a little. Thanks for posting. I never get tired of this one.

[@jimbullock6039]

This story was based on the life of Tom Horn, former Army scout, marshal, "regulator" & hired killer in the range wars and hanged in 1903 for the murder of a ranchers 14 yr old son. Chuck Conner's character even had the initials T.H. (Thorpe Henderon)!

[@washdog10]

I just became aware of the KZbin channels three days ago and am now angry with my daughter for not telling me about it. To see westerns like this is an old man's dream come true. Thank you so very much for allowing me to relive a big part of my youth.

Hare Kṛṣṇa Just today I was seeing an e-biography for the first time of Chuck Connors. I was surprised somewhat to discover, among other things, his second wife was a Bollywood starlet(?), born and raised in Mumbai(?) and passing away in the early 2000s)?). Her name, Kamalā, is becoming not too uncommon these days in the west. Kamalā Devī. On line, in case this is all news to you, is available a movie in which Chuck Connors plays the title role, 'Geronimo', opposite (?) his wife at the time (1962), Kamalā Devī Hare Rāma

Thanks Bob, for another "goodun". Getting to see shows like this makes it worthwhile to have a TV.

[@yashti1979]

This episode sure looks familiar as far as plot is concerned. This reminds me of the movie about Tom Horn starring Steve McQueen as Tom Horn. Alot of the plot and story in the movie is taken from this episode. From the killing of a young boy to the way chucks confession is taken and even the hanging mechanism is familiar. Interesting.

[@adnawWW]

One of Chuck Connors best performances.

The name of the series was "Frontier", an anthology series similar to "Death Valley Days". My dad used to paraphrase that tagline as, "Well that's the way it goes...movin' west."

[@walterwheeler5465]

A good episode with Chuck Connors in a dramatic role as an evil man, the opposite of his later role in "The Rifleman.

What I found amazing is Chuck was in a school teachers's bed room in a late 50s TV show

Does anybody remember Chuck Connors in Branded , They broke his sword and banished for a crime he didn't do, Branded-Branded he was young in that series, forsaken Western did you say Bob Terry, that's my last name also, thanks for the Western pardner.

[@Susan-yq8pf]

Yes. Remember branded . I use to record it, but all I saw was re runs . I wish there were more . I remember growing up in the 70’s and my family watching westerns , didn’t care for it. Now I watch a episode of some kind of western every day if I’m able. I love Gunsmoke w Festas “ you old shutter “ Lol 😂. Smh good stuff.

[@ricardomanuelpena6594]

Wow this one was a good one, thank you and keep it coming!!!🤡🤗☺️😊🤔

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

That was chilling. My guess is the next time he played someone that evil was in Werewolf, the late '80s FOX horror series that he got fired (or quit, depending on who you ask) because he wanted way too much money after filming the first three episodes. His departure from that show was unfortunate for him but especially for the show.

[@dan51556]

He was in Police Story, first one I think, as a pretty nasty robber. Slow Boy was the episode name.

[@23draft7]

Not surprising.. Actors never liked Conners. He didn't like them either. Same deal with Kevin Costner. Fellow Actors were treated like crap from both of them. Ego can be a nasty thing.

[@thegrumpyfatazz7612]

He was the bad guy but the story line actually made him a good guy that was railroaded by the people that was afraid

[@docmason9677]

I remember the 1956 episode of Gunsmoke called the 'Preacher' when Matt fought a bully prize fighter who was Chuck Connors in the end and final KO'd him. Chuck could play some menacing lowdown characters or in The Movie, 'The Big Country' with Gregory Peck and Burl Ives.

[@chucklundi2198]

William Smith played in some movies. He was in Conan the Barbarian, played Conan's Father in the movie.

[@Paladin1873]

That's a switch; John Hoyt playing the lawman and Chuck Conners playing the killer. Judging from the story line, this appears to be a thinly veiled biography of Tom Horn. Even today nobody knows if Horn actually killed the 14 year old boy or was simply framed for past killings.
