Series regular characters appearing in this episode: Trampas, Stacey,
Elizabeth, with very brief glimpse of Harper and Dick
Synopsis:
It's mail call in the bunkhouse, and amidst the perfumed envelopes Trampas
sees a letter that noticeably upsets him. When Stacey jokingly asks if one
of the ladies' husbands had written him Trampas takes him aside and confides
this is the third such letter he's received--each a list of his name and six
others and each having another of the names marked through with the date of
death written next to it. The cowhand decides it's time to look into the
matter instead of waiting around for someone to come kill him. Out of
concern for his friend Stacey offers his help, but Trampas thanks him
saying, "It's my problem. I'll handle it." His investigation puts him in
the company of the other three living persons who've received the same
correspondence, including a hired gunman (McGavin) and his ex-wife (Redd)
who is now married to a sheriff (Chiles). The only tie between the seven
seems to be a town called Wicksville and the words "for Billy."
Note: The March 27, 1967 "polish" script shows this episode was originally
written to feature Charles Bickford as John Grainger. Also, the character
name Stacey is spelled "Stacy" (see note on 6.23 "Stacey").(bj)
