synopsis
Arriving in a small town to pay his respects to the family of Adam Manning, the first man he killed in battle during the Civil War, Jason (Chuck Connors) is astonished when he comes face to face with Adam's exact double. He soon realizes that he has met the man's younger brother Tad (both roles are played by Chad Everett), whose embittered father Sam (James Dunn) has been feeding Tad a steady diet of hate ever since the war ended. Brushing aside Jason's words of regret, Tad plans to kill McCord and thus avenge his family's tattered honor.
