Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Paladin (Richard Boone) is hired to dive into Crystal Lake and recover $20,000 in stolen gold. This proves to be a challenging task thanks to a half-crazed fisherman, Jonas Quincy (Harry Carey Jr.) who refuses to let Paladin dive until an elusive trout is caught. Meanwhile, the gold thieves sit on the shore, biding their time and polishing their weapons until Paladin retrieves their booty. This episode aired May 25, 1962 as a last-minute replacement for another installment, "Sweet Lady of the Moon", which would not be seen until March 9, 1963.
