But the subplots provided by writer Eric Howard, who taught a short-story writing class at the University of Southern California, makes it play like a precursor to current soap operas on daytime television; Sally Moore, staying at Jerry's ranch since her mother died because she thinks her stepfather Les Daggett displays an unhealthy attitude toward her, causes some talk among the boys down at the saloon about her and Jerry, who really loves Mary but Mary thinks he loves Sally, so she listens to the oily talk of Dan, who knows he must get Jerry out of the way before he can have Mary. Deputy Lafe Hutchins is in love with Dan's sister Jane and is in league with Dan's plot to get rid of Jerry--to which end, all hands, including stepdaddy Daggett, kidnap Sally. Eric Howard wasn't called on to write many more Westerns. Written by Les Adams See less
