In a very odd episode to start off Season 4, we get to see Adam West casted as a psychotic killer that just happens to be a Major in the US Military. This may be difficult to believe but Adam West perfectly plays the two-faced Major Jonathan Eliot. At times he is a wise straight war hero and then in the same scene quickly turns into a scary sinister criminal.
From a story that is told at the Barkley table, Major Eliot grew up in an atmosphere where his mother was the area prostitute. And now he believes that all women need to be taught a lesson concerning morals he feel like that do not possess. And his lessons include murder and scarring as in the novel "The Scarlet Letter".
When a local saloon women is murdered, the war hero Major is all to happy to to claim he saw a local drunk going toward the women's room. Now the Major has eyes for Audra. And when Audra refuses his marriage proposal, the Major's behavior could become very dangerous.
Even with the story being different from the normal western story, I thought it played out well. The acting was good and the story keep the viewer entertained-- Even if the entertainment was somewhat psychotic.
