The Virginian (1962)
S03E27 Farewell to Honesty
Episode Overview
A deputized Virginian arrives in the ironically named Honesty, Wyoming, on the hunt for Major Ralph Forrester (Richard Carlson), who has swindled Judge Garth. However, the local judge is corrupt and, claiming the Virginian isn’t a full-time deputy, blocks his efforts to take Forrester back to Medicine Bow. While waiting for Deputy Ryker, the Major is killed, and the Virginian becomes the prime suspect. When Ryker finally arrives, he teams up with local lawyer John Harrison (Harold Gould) to uncover the truth from a list of suspects, including the Major's wife (Dorothy Green), a former acquaintance who owns a saloon and was being blackmailed (Kathleen Crowley), and the Major's business partner (Douglas Henderson).
