Bull Bannock is a retired prize fighter, and he is fed up with his life in New York City. He owns a saloon that few people patronize, and those that do are not interested in hearing his stories about his glory days as an undefeated fighter. Bannock decides to sell out and move to Dodge City to start a new life there.
After arriving in Dodge, Bannock soon meets The Professor, a con man who sees in Bannock an easy mark. Bannock is such a gullible fool that he believes everything The Professor tells him and allows himself to be swindled repeatedly.
One of the problems with this episode is that the audience feels no sympathy for Bannock. He obviously has more money than sense. Even the Dodge citizens can see The Professor is taking advantage of Bannock, but rather than say anything to Bannock, they just snicker behind his back.
Alan Hale, Jr. played the Bull Bannock role much as he played every role he ever had. This episode was filmed during the same time Gilligan's Island would have been filming the third season. There is nothing to distinguish Bull Bannock from the Skipper, other than Hale's terrible attempt at an Irish accent.
Dan Tobin is The Professor. Tobin often played similar roles during this same time. I first remember him as "Gentleman" Dan Caldwell in a Season 1 episode of The Andy Griffith Show. The Professor is essentially the same character as Dan Caldwell living in a different period of time.
There is simply nothing of substance to this episode. The situations are not funny. There is very little drama. Bannock and The Professor are not likable enough to care that much about the outcome.
