Beautifully scripted, directed, and acted...... Great deep-South characters flesh-out this episode. The mood is set at Fred's Hideout Cafe in Scene One. As the teleplay progresses, a young, lanky Peter Fonda plots to avenge the untimely death of his father, a poor peach farmer. Fonda's portrayal of Verge Likens is both brooding and stoic. Actor Robert Emhardt plays the consummate villain-- a cold-hearted murderer with a hint of a conscience (the latter trait is revealed later in the episode); you can tell he relishes his role, but never once does he go overboard. The story slowly builds to a very satisfying climax.
