Synopsis by Hal Erickson
It's "Pygmalion" on the frontier in this episode scripted by future Star Trek maven Gene Roddenberry. Paladin (Richard Boone) is reunited with his old pal Tomahawk Carter (William Swan), flamboyant owner of a popular Wild West show. Carter has just hired a female sharpshooter named Ella West (Norma Crane), who proves to be too wild and unkempt for a polite audience. It is Paladin's formidable task to transform the hoydenish Ella into a proper lady. Craggy-faced character actor Mike Mazurki appears briefly in a memorable showdown sequence.
