Angie Dickenson was very young when she portrayed the sister of a murdered man in this well done episode. She is quite angry and also quite beautiful, which brings the single young men in the town gallantly to her side, ready to do her bidding. Unfortunately, her bidding is to hang the murderer, Bender.
Both Paladin and Angie's "dad" try to get her to climb down from her position of righteous anger before she and her admirers propel themselves into the morass of vigilante justice. There an excellent mix of turmoil, bad behavior by Bender, and intelligent action on the part of our Paladin to make this a very satisfying account of people stampeding toward a bad end who get side-tracked just in time. Also, the viewer gets to see a warrior woman reconsider her position, which Angie does so charmingly that one is reminded again of her great popularity. Also her natural ability as an actress. It is possible she never turned in a bad performance.moreless

QUOTES (3)
ADD QUOTES-
Paladin: Meanness, Mr. Coombs? Hardly. Amy Bender hates, and with good cause. It's frustrating for a woman to hate like this. She can't strap on a gun and settle this affair with her own two hands.
-
Amy: I don't want anyone hurt. Except Holgate. Paladin: That's the trouble with a lynching, Miss Bender; you can't have it ordered up all neat and dainty like a yard of Flemish lace. It's something that cowards get whiskey'd up and mumble over--winding up with screams in the gutters of a dark night.
-
Paladin: That crowd won't collect again. Mob courage is a momentary thing; once it's gone, it's gone for good.
