Here is a sad family tale of a father that refuses to let his 19 year old daughter grow up and does not see that it could cost him everything he has in life.
Cyrus Degler (George Kennedy) has a daughter named Susan (Katharine Ross) that is seeing Quint. This relationship is much to the displeasure of Cyrus who expresses his emotion by horse whipping Quint and telling him that he will kill him if he continues to see his daughter.
Back at the house Cyrus tells Susan that since her mother died years ago, she is all that he has in her life and wants to protect her. When Susan tells him that she will continue to see Quint, he picks up the horse whip again- but this time Susan pulls a rifle off the wall and points it at her Dad. Cyrus backs off and then telegraphs his kin folk named Praylie Degler to come to Dodge. Praylie is the member of the clan that takes care of matters when requested.
When Praylie arrives in Dodge his intention is to kill Quint. But with Festus and the Marshal suspicious, it will be difficult to complete the task.
After a strange explosion at the blacksmith shop, Matt tells Praylie to leave town. But he heads to Cyrus's house to get get paid for his services. But instead of taking the money owed, he robs Cyrus of all the money he has in life. Susan comes in and again take the rifle off the wall- this time to protect her father. But this time things will be far different and lives changed.
An excellent script and well acted. Was entertaining throughout the entire show which keeps the viewer on the edge of their seat. A great watch for any viewer.
