The episode is a supernatural western episode, replete with values of love, family and gaining courage to fight for what you believe in. Little Joe is left for dead in the desert after having his horse stolen. He wakes up and sees a ghost town, Martinville, void of people one day, but the next day people are attending to his needs. Upon recovering his strength, he is not allowed to leave town, for the townspeople want to make him sheriff. A job which comes with a price: He must protect the town from a gang of marauders who have driven livestock out of town and terrorize the town at will. The men are afraid to fight, and Little Joe must restore their courage and protect their families. At the end, he leads the men into a cavalry charge with victory, Ben and his other sons having finally found him, Joe explains about the mysterious town. His father replies that the town has been deserted for many years, and the legend went that until they found a leader to free them from the marauders, and gain revenge for the sheriff that was slain, they will roam the earth. His father tells him though, that if a man believes in something, nobody can take that away. Everything vanishes like a bad dream, as tumbleweeds once again roam the streets of Martinsville with its memories and peaceful souls restored. There is much food for thought here, and acting is hypnotic.
