Synopsis by Hal Erickson
This episode is a showcase for character actor Parker Fennelly, best remembered as the dour "Titus Moody" on radio's Fred Allen Show. Fenelly plays Abraham Lee, an elderly farmer who owns a tiny patch of land bordering the property of wealthy and powerful rancher George Advent (Denver Pyle). Upset that Lee's farm prevents the fence surrounding his own land from forming a "perfect" line, Advent has declared war on the old codger--and of course, Paladin (Richard Boone) has cast his lot with the underdog. Essential to the story's outcome is Lee's Native American adopted son, played by My Three Sons' Don Grady).
