A deed that has unintended results- Good show

The area around Dodge is suffering a severe drought and it has hit the family of Luke Todd exceptionally hard. With things looking bleak, Luke Todd decides to resume his early life and calls his old bandit friends. They decide to rob the freight office in Dodge with a haul of over $20,000.

When things go wrong during the robbery, one of the bandits 'rats out' Luke to the Marshal. Luke hides the money inside his house so that his wife, Amy, and his two small sons can have a better life and then flees the area. But his intention will soon turn sour when his deed cause more trouble than help for his family.

The plight of Amy and the kids was very entertaining. As hard as Amy tries not to touch any of the money, it soon becomes necessary with another unintended result. Lots going on in this show that will having you watching to the very end.
