Reviews:
"It ain't often but like Fiorello LaGuardia said,'when I make a mistake t's a beaut". When Ray Teak is injured foiling a bank robbery and has to take a leave of absence from being Virginia City's sheriff, Lorne Greene suggests that neighboring rancher Arthur Franz might do the job.
It was one of the biggest mistakes in the series history. Franz is a man with hidden deep resentments and giving him the authority as sheriff allows him to act them out. The authority goes tragically to his head.
Franz givsan outstanding performance as a very small man in a job way to big for him." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
