This is one of the best. I remember this from the first time I herd it as a kid in bed every night listening to this show.

Paul M. Curtis

A gunslinger hires on to a ranch to enforce a rancher's will. The rancher's daughter falls in love with him, making her betrothed angry enough to challenge him to a gun battle.

Cletus

I agree with Paul, this is one of the best. Just phenomenally well written.

Mike

In the Old West shortly after the Civil War, Kaintuck owns the fastest gun in Colorado and the worst reputation. He has killed his own brother, Abe, over a woman they both wanted. Nevertheless, the V Bar C ranch owner hires him to keep the sheepherders off his vast cattle grazing lands. All goes well until Kaintuck’s son Enoch, whom he has never known, challenges him to a gunfight — over a young woman who prefers the father, not the son.

Adam

He probably spelled it Cain Tuck (after Cain from Cain and Abel). Interestingly enough, his brother's name was Abe, lo!

I'm usually not a fan of Westerners, but Ralph Bell makes this episode good. I am not sure if it would have been interesting to me without his performance, but because of him, this episode really stands out. Very good acting and really good writing.

Amy

Marian Seldes also does a really good job in this episode too.

Excellent story version of Cain & Abel. Very well played and moving.
