...as many bullets fly as in this one episode of AS&J. Keenan Wynn, Dana Elcar, L.Q. Jones and a young Randolph Mantooth (NBC's Emergency!) amongst others round out the cast here, in a tried-but-true storyline about a stagecoach waylaid en route to its destination. THIS one gets held up TWICE by the same gang, though...the second time while at a way station. It seems the gang leader's memory is a bit slow...

One gets to watch every character on the coach subtly change character, and one gets to change body temperature to room temperature - the one no one will like anyhow, so that's OK. A submissive wife finally tells off her windbag husband, too, which after fifty minute of his bluster makes it the best bit of dialogue in this episode. He ends up redeeming himself in her eyse in the end. Awwww...

Rather sad sometimes, what people will do (or endure) for money.

The Western genre features stories set primarily in the 19th-century American Old West and often depict the rugged frontier life, exploring themes of individualism, justice, morality, and the clash between civilization and the untamed wilderness. The genre has its roots in the historical context of westward expansion and the challenges faced by pioneers, settlers, outlaws, and lawmen.
