In this episode we have a sad tale of a couple that was not only prosecuted by the barren land but was also basically killed by words of a overzealous religious man that could not seek to forgive a poor member of the own family.
Peak Fletcher is the overzealous religious preacher-type that owns a nice spread north of Dodge. He also has a sister named Sarah that is married to a man named Neal Amber. The Amber's crops did not come in last fall and now they are left penny-less. Even with the wealthy ranch that Fletcher has, he refuses to help his sister because he thinks her an an unrighteous person (never really went into what the unrighteous part of the story was about).
Anyway Neal is at the end of his rope. He love his wife but cannot bear the thought of having her live with a man that cannot provide for even the smallest things in life. And when Sarah is accused by Fletcher of stealing a calf, even her husband says that she would be better off dead than to be married to him.
The rest of the episode is played out like a Shakespearean tragedy until finally coming to an end right in front of the Marshal's office. This is a dark story that had a powerful message even for today's standards. Even with some overboard acting, this episode stilled delivered a enjoyable thirty minutes of entertainment that was very watchable. And an ending that prove to be the gem of the entire show. Good Watch.
