    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      Edward Dein and Mildred Dein claimed that they wrote the script as a lark, and never expected it to be produced.
    • Goofs
      When the sheriff confronts Dolores when putting up the first poster, she says she will continue putting them up until Carter gets what's coming to him. Carter is her family name, she should have said Buffer. Dolores Carter was talking about revenge for her father and family, therefore Carter is correct.
    • Quotes
      • Dr. John Carter: You know I can't figure it, I didn't think Dora would last the night.
      • Preacher Dan Young: I'd like to think my prayers helped some.
      • Dr. John Carter: Well I know for sure it wasn't my medicine, Fuller girl died an hour ago. I poured over every medical book I could get my hands on, I can't find a thing about an epidemic effecting only young girls. If I were supersticous I'd say it was more like a curse. Well, at the expense of my medical pride, I have to admit it was your medicine that did the trick, her pulse is normal, she's sleeping peacefully. I'm almost tempted to throw away my black bag and come over to your side.
      • Preacher Dan Young: You've always been on my side.
