The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…

Late one night Bounty Hunter, Conny Miller rides into town.  At the tavern he learns from several men that the outlaw he had been tracking for months has been gunned down and buried by the town folk.

When Conny expresses displeasure that he had wasted months tracking the outlaw, one of the town men says that Conny only acted as if he wanted to meet up with the outlaw but the truth was that Conny was afraid. Arguments with the men lead to a twenty dollar bet that Conny hasn’t the courage to go to the outlaw’s grave and stick a knife in it.

This is episode would work even without the all-star cast, but is even better because of them.
