Shadow of the Noose

Marshall Fry (Henry Fonda) arrests a drifter (Clu Gulager) for the murder of a farmer and his wife but must contend with a lynch mob before the trial. The drifter, of course, protests his innocence and says he just happen to arrive at the murder scene and was shot at by the real killer.

Fending off Akins and his mob, Simon enlists the aid of the store keeping McCord family to stop vigilantism. He also stops the drifter from escaping from jail due to a lynch mob member slipping him an empty gun so he can get him out on the open...

Another ok episode, though a standard one with not enough tension or twist and turns. Good acting by Clu Gulager who looks really innocent of murder. As with the other episodes, I love the conversation tone between Fonda, Case and his sister.
