The son is a fabulous actor. And a good script and acting for the Virginian. Ihnat is very good at the villian role and yet his acting makes it like his character really existed. This is the kind of episode that makes the series great. I am not going to get into details. I just want to encourage people to watch this one. Having said that, the ending script is better than usual as well.

He did't deserve his fate.
bkoganbing17 July 2019
The Virginian runs into Larry Ward an old friend with a couple of others. But later on he finds Ward lynched and accused of killing another man whom he had
sold cattle to ostensibly.
The folks at Socorro Creek the town this all takes place in supposed to be a peaceable place with not even a town marshal. James Drury questions both Lonny Chapman and Steve Ihnat who were with Ward and they both are mighty suspicious characters.
But the biggest problem he faces is young Kevin Coughlin, Ward's son who wants some payback for his father's lynching. A different problem is Ellen Burstyn the widow who has a thing developing for Drury.
In the end we find that Ward was not exactly a saint, but certainly did not deserve his fate. Also look for a good performance from Jocelyn Brando as the widow of the man Ward supposedly killed.
