This is an excellent tale of suspense. It is told in flashback by Robert Horton to a fellow traveler. It has to do with his gambling addiction. Horton has the gambling disease and finds himself in a game he cannot afford to be in. Unfortunately, he has access to money that doesn't belong to him. It's one of those winner-take-all situations. The beauty of the episode is that the camera and the director do a masterful job of pacing the thing and leading us to the inevitable conclusion. Horton, who I think was a cowboy star at one time, does a nice job as the tired, driven, frightened man, who has to throw it out there. There is also a subplot concerning his wife, who has been gambling with oil stocks, hoping to get rich. He finds himself in an untenable situation. This is one of the best of the "Presents" episodes.
