This story starts out ten years ago as Zeno Smith, a noted gunfighter, is having a drink at the bar. Enter a young gunslinger, Hank Fergus, that wants to make a name for himself by taking on Zeno. But during the lead up to the gunfight, Zeno loses his nerve and now he is branded not as a gunfighter but a coward. Flash ahead in time and now Zeno lives his life as a drunk with an orphaned kid, Tommy, and having a small job thanks to Mr Jonas at the General Store.
After ten years, Hank Fergus returns to Dodge and finds Zeno. Since Fergus is out of money he tells Zeno to bring him the cash box from the General Store or he will tell Tommy about his past. The cowardly Zeno sees no way out.
John Larch, that usually plays the tough guy, does surprisingly well as the drunk Zeno Smith that has lost his nerve and his way of living. Matt appears rather unfeeling to the 12 year old boy, Tommy, when he tells him (in so many words), 'life is full of hard knock- your a man now'. For some reason that seemed cold words from the Marshal to the young boy. Otherwise this was a good watch that tried mightily to pull at heartstrings.
