Story Sam Elkin
Perry is planning on a relaxing weekend
in the Sierra town of Fawnskin, hunting with his old
friend Sheriff Gene Norris, but he gets sidetracked into
another murder case.
The town is out for blood when Phil
Beecher returns from jail. Phil did time for drunken
driving and neglience in the car accident that killed
Aggie, the sheriff's daughter. Aggie's sister Charlotte
wants revenge, and frames Phil for robbery. When the
scheme backfires, Charlotte herself is killed, and things
look pretty grim for Phil. A lynching is a definite
possibility before Perry steps in.

Sheriff Eugene Norris Barton MacLane
Norm Thurston Bart Burns
Charlotte Norris Ina Victor (victim)
Judge Willis Bouchey
Webmaster's Note: D. A. Supernaw
notes that Fawnskin is actually in the San Bernardino
National Forest, near Big Bear lake, not in the Sierras.
A sign seen in the episode says that Fawnskin is in the
Sierras however.
