8 years before Marshal Crown brought a little law and order to the Cimarron
Strip a gang held up an army payroll and one of them was injured so badly he
lost a left arm. Fortunately not his shooting arm for J.D. Cannon.
A bit of a shooting display in the saloon part of Jill Townsend's place earns him a job as another deputy for Stuart Whitman. But it's all part of a carefully contrived scheme against the rest of the gang which left him badly injured and for dead. The loss of his arm was the worst of it for Cannon.
Cannon is twisted and evil, that kind of experience will twist a soul. The rest of the gang occupy various levels of western society. Gregg Palmer is a thuggish bully, Anthony James is a barfly, Larry Pennell has a small ranch. and Lyle Bettger has a bigger cattle spread. He also married Marj Dusay who used to be Cannon's girlfriend.
This episode belongs to Percy Herbert who smells a rat from the beginning but can't quite put it all together.
