In Nevada, Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired to guard Tom Nelson (James Franciscus), who is accused of killing a local sheriff. Upon learning that Nelson had previously been acquitted of another murder charge, and sensing the town's hositility against the prisoner, Paladin dedicates himself to making sure that Nelson receives a fair trial--if he lives long enough, that is. Without giving away the outcome, it can be noted that the Latin translation of this episode's title is "Habeas Corpus".
