Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Acting magistrate Ben Cartwright is dismayed when Sundown (Tom Tully), an old reprobate whom he'd helped parole, is suspected of robbing the Virginia City bank. Magnanimously, Sundown offers to tell Ben where the stolen money is in exchange for his freedom. Ben refuses this offer, whereupon the whole town turns against him. Also in the cast are Anthony Call (Billy), Elizabeth Perry (Ruth) and Walter Sande (Hamilton). Written by John and Ward Hawkins, "The Dilemma" first aired September 19, 1965.
