Dire Doctor Warning: Spoilers
Colonel MacKenzie is in a dire situation from injuries sustained on a cattle drive and Tate has gone into the nearest town to get help from the local doctor Benjamin Kinkaid. Tate has continual flashbacks about the situation that caused Colonel MacKenzie's injury.

However, at the doctor's practice, Tate is informed by the doctor's wife that the doctor is incarcerated due to be hung! Tate is on a mission to get the Colonel the medical help he requires but is refused by the local Law and Judge John Markham.

Later Judge Marham has a change of heart and allows the death row doctor a chance to help Colonel MacKenzie and with his diagnosis Dr Kinkaid informs Tate that an immediate operation is required.

Tate Goes Detective

Got to like the way Lee Majors finds all kinds of ways to solve problems. Sometimes it means solving cases. And he's a ranch hand. This is Virginian (Men of Shiloh), and these hired hands have a tough job. The patriarchs demand it. This movie has an excellent cast. Jane Wyatt and Edward Binns make a complex married couple. Lew Ayres always puts in a good performance. Tom Tryon was never better as the by the book Sheriff, who cares. And Stewart Granger even under anesthetic is good. Like what Majors does to try and get his boss needed medical care after a bad fall. Not always easy to watch. Well worth staying with until the end.

Lew ayres plays the judge, tom tryon plays the sheriff, ed binns plays the doc, jane wyatt plays the doc's wife, bo svenson plays the deputy, john mitchum and patricia harty plays the saloon girl that is the key witness in the trial that condemned the doc to hang ... lee majors and stewart granger are the only regular cast members and granger has internal bleeding from a horse kick on the trail ... if you have seen binns in enough westerns you can figure out the rest of the plot
