This would be the last appearance of Doug McClure's character 'Trampas' in the series. He shows up in a deserted town during a sand storm where only 3 people live, although the town sign lists the population of over 2000. Then a weird thing begins to happen.

Warning: Spoilers
Trampas loses his saddlebags in a storm and stumbles over a sign for Spencer Flats showing the population as 2103. However, upon arriving there, Trampas hears a Dutch Organ which draws him to the saloon and seeing nobody around helps himself to a beer plus a meal.
Little does Trampas realize he is being watched by two of the town's three people, two sisters one named Della, who believes him to be a wanted outlaw and who is intent on killing him at the first opportunity.
After much conjecture with each other, and Teddy the third person in the town, Trampas is allowed to live until the Sheriff arrives. More trouble comes when the next man arrives in town and he is assumed to be the Sheriff and this causes Trampas more concern.

A good episode reminding everyone of the real Virginian series!

It was good to see Bradford Dillman & Doug McClure in an episode again (s1e26). Ann Sothern, Carolyn Jones, Ed Buchanan made the episode fun and with Glen Larson directing sure made this a real Virginian episode. Thank you for that!
Poor Morticia.
