As this episode began we are brought into the world of late 1800's west when life on a farm was hard especially for women. And with women thought of as cheap labor it was evident that some abuse took place even in rural setting of Kansas. In this episode it will be a brother that abuses his sister to the point of making her a slave to his every wish and whim. But it is not long before someone enters town that wants to put a stop to this woman's torture.
Andrew Duggan does an excellent job of playing Fos Capper a stranger in Dodge that refuses to carry a gun. One afternoon he happens to spot a young woman, Flora Stancil, trying to load heavy boxes. When Fos helps the woman, Ben Stancil Flora's brother, comes out and has harsh words for Flora and Fos. Ben even said he would kill Fos if he does not leave her sister alone.
But little does Ben know that Fos has a background and he may be picking with the wrong guy. And when Fos decides to take Flora away it will come down to Marshal Dillon giving his gun to Fos to take care of business. But will the business end the chance of a life with Flora.
It seems many viewers are not interesting in a episode that projects an abusive relationship. However, even today, things like this need to be brought out in the light and shown their true nature. An episode that may not be everyone's taste but a episode that was interesting to watch.
