    Don't Let The Town Blow Up!

    Sam Edwards is about to be hanged in Tombstone. But his brother John shows up in a wagon that he says is loaded with dynamite and can be set off by a string attached to his foot. He also has newspaper editor Harris Cleybourne tied up in back of the wagon. Clay lets them get always and then he and deputy Quint follow at a safe distance. How can they possibly rescue Harris without these two evil brothers blowing him up?

    Keith Larsen plays bad guy John Edwards. He had starred in two series during the 1950s. The first was "Brave Eagle," in which he played a wise and honorable Indian chief. Then he starred in "Northwest Passage," a series based on the movie of the same name and starring Spencer Tracy. Keith played Major Robert Rogers in that one. Appearing as a bad outlaw was a real change of role type for him and he does well in it. Watch this episode when you can.
