Bart and Jack Darby (Richard Long) have been stranded by a storm in a ghost town hotel so long just playing poker with each other that they finally make a bet that whoever draws an ace first can slug the other one. Interrupted by the arrival of a stage coach diverted because of a flooded stream, they are thrown into the drama of a wounded outlaw, his girlfriend who also seems to be the lost love of Bart's life, some missing money that's supposed to be on the stage but no one can find it, and some mysterious nondescript character named "Red" Herring.
The story plays out with Bart having to remove a bullet from the wounded outlaw and confessing his feelings to the girlfriend, Jack finding the missing money and hiding it (not for himself, mind you - just for "safe keeping" - yeah, right), and "Red" Herring turning out to be more than just a red herring.
An OK episode but the missing money sub-plot is better than the outlaw-girlfriend-Bart main plot, which gets a bit talky and ultimately predictable.
