There is some confusion about whether this is a season 2
episode, or the first episode of season 3!!!! IMDb.com
has it as the last episode of season 2, while epguides.com
has it as the first episode of season 3!! I'm leaning toward
epguides.com as being correct because IMDb.com doesn't list
"The Gunfither" or "Stolen Loot" at all!!!
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
I vaguely remember this series as a kid in the 1950s.
Grit TV is currently showing two episodes each weekday
at 1PM and 130PM. All the episodes seem new to me. It
was a well done western series with Pat Conway and Richard
Eastham as the stars. Conway as Sheriff Clay Hollister
always had a deputy during the run, but they often seemed
to be elsewhere when the trouble starts and Eastham and
newspaper man Harris has to fill in and help catch the
bad guys.
The scripts were well written and the action fast in the
half hour shows. It really makes me feel young again to
see these old shows from my youth.
I do recommend Tombstone Territory if you ever have a
chance to see it. It's worth watching. - hogwrassler
