Hefty Bounty
bkoganbing24 July 2014
The Wagon Train meets up with Edward Binns a former sheriff who several years back saved Flint McCullough's life. Now Binns is asking for Horton's help. He's wounded and he has to make his destination in ten days to go east. But people are after him, in particular a nasty bounty hunter Ernest Borgnine. After Horton and Binns leave Borgnine's around soon enough asking about Binns.

Borgnine is one evil nasty man, but Binns isn't exactly forthcoming with the truth either. This former sheriff is indeed a wanted man with a hefty bounty on him. Stuck in a mountain cabin with snow and a winter wind, a lot of truth gets told between all three of them.

Although Borgnine is the bigger star and has the title role I think the episode really belongs to Edward Binns who has a much showier role as a lawman who's lost his moral compass. In any event it's a good episode.
