Synopsis by Hal Erickson
With the jailhouse closed while Sheriff Crandall (Barry Kelly) is on vacation, erstwhile Justice of the Peace and game warden Uncle Joe (Edgar Buchanan) brings kleptomaniac Eustace Pockle (Ben Lessy) to the Shady Rest. Locking Eustace in his room (and charging him rent in the bargain), Joe figures that his part of the job is done. But he's figured wrong--and within a few hours, light-fingered Eustace has robbed everyone blind! This episode was originally scheduled for November 1, 1966.
