Trampas just sold the ranch his dad bought in S02E01 and he's sitting in the saloon with his alcoholic uncle trying to decide whether to gamble it like his dad would have or save it for something good. Uncle says he and his brother were not good examples, says Trampas could be a good name, that Trampas should get out of the saloon and get a ranch, be happy in his old age, dont look back on empty bottles like he's had to do- it's a great start to what promises to be another warm and interesting Trampas story...
Nope, let's have none of that- they kill the uncle and send Trampas out for revenge. Is it a revenge story then? No-no, none of that either, Trampas kills nobody for revenge.
There's some fellows out digging for gold, is this a story about gold fever and striking it rich? Yeah, no, guess again.
Kinda sappy, but there's a lady out looking for her husband, maybe this is going to be a happily ever after love story. No, thank goodness, none of that syrupy ick.
Okay, what then? There's a doctor on an army base with a drinking problem and a sick patient, so obviously no happy outcome...hello, that's what they write about- no wonder- it's probably close to home and by this time, also close to the end of the show.
Trampas, healthy and unhurt throughout all the plot changes, emerges at the end as someone weak and in need of rescue- as if- and the reason for his journey is obscured because the rest of it was obscure.
There's plenty of action with no direction and no real purpose. Half-heartedly recommended.
