The Prisoner

Dick Sellers (John Doucette) likes to push young boys and old men into gunfights for his friends, to entertain and impress them. Marshal Troop arrests him for killing a man and tries to follow the law. Sellers claims it's self-defence but Troop knows his reputation of goading men into a gunfight. So he puts him in the hoosegow.

However, the town fathers are afraid of his friends. When they ask Troop to back down, he decides to use a different tactic. He releases Sellers and waits for him to attack someone again. Troop then challenges Sellers in front of Sellers' friends leaving Sellers little choice.

John Russell is the master of the art of intimidating the opposition with his stare- those cheekbones alone should scare Doucette into just riding out instead of going for his gun. It's an age old tale of bully boys only harassing people they know can't fight back. Entertaining episode.
