Ben and Adam have been convicted of murder and are scheduled to die at 6:00 in the evening. Hawkins' men are in town to make sure it happens.
Hoss and Joe ride up to the jail and tell Ben that they found Duece Martin, a witness. He's dead. He fell or was pushed from a cliff. Sheriff Hansen (Robert Griffin) reminds them that Duece gave a statement immediately after the murder. Joe counters with the fact that Duece then left town and now he's dead. Ben tells Hoss and Joe to do three things: 1. Go talk to the only surviving witness Sally Byrnes (Jean Allison). 2. Stop by the paper. Mr. Baxter (Ian Wolfe) is running a special edition that will make people think. 3. Find Barney Arden (Robert Brubaker) and help him get names for the petition to the governor.
Reviews:
"I have always loved this episode. Not only because of the haunting thought of Pa and Adam Cartwright getting hung, but also because hotty Vic Morrow is in this episode.
The episode begins with a certain eeriness when Adam and Ben are on their last day. Joe and Hoss are doing everything they can possibly to do get a stay of execution. They've gotten one of the townfolk to work on collecting signatures for the governor, but they are also trying to talk to the witnesses.
Then a stranger rides into town. He's looking for some men who wronged somebody he knew, and he means to make it right. At first he thinks it's Ben, but after meeting him and learning of the situation he takes the side of the Cartwright's and is determine the save the father/son duo from begin hung that evening.
A woman's father was killed, and she's the only living witness to tell what had happened. She wants revenge for her father's death, and the whole town is scared of a gang riding into town. Vic Morrow did an excellent performance in this one! His story is sad, and the life he's currently living is even sadder. But a cowboy's gotta do what a cowboy's gotta do."

"Thuis is one of the grimmest and strangest Bonanza stories ever done. Lorne Greene and Pernell Roberts are about to be hanged chiefly on the testimony of Jean Allison. It's her father that was killed and she says she saw Ben and Adam do the deed. Of course she saw no such a thing.
A mysterious stranger played by Vic Morrow who carries six gun in his pants intervenes on behalf of the Cartwrights. He's fast wth a gun, but does't believe in holsters. Man likes to live dangerously.
A strange man and episode." Written by bkoganbing
