Laramie: Man from Kansas (1961)
Season 2, Episode 15
7/10
There is history
15 February 2017
Gentleman bandit and high liver Jock Mahoney arrives in Laramie by way of a stagecoach robbery which makes it the business of Slim Sherman. But Mahoney and Jess Harper have some history and Robert Fuller is caught in the middle.

Mahoney is known as a Robin Hood who states he never robs working people, but he lifts a money belt from a banker and spreads some of it around. That makes him most popular and not easy to pick a jury that isn't sympathetic to him.

Robert Fuller tells John Smith that Mahoney is one fast draw and he proves it to him. It's his taste for high living that brings him down.

Note performances by Adam West as a deputy who Mahoney kills and George Mitchell and Jocelyn Brando as a farm couple who Mahoney aids then betrays.

I guess the moral is Robin Hood types are too good to be true.
