He may be shot---but he ain't dead yet!

In this episode we have a reunion of Clint Adams and his old friend Colorado Charlie Utter ,both who has been friends of Wild Bill Hickok. Utter was actually in Deadwood when Jack McCall shot Hickok in the back;but just not in the same saloon at the time. It was he who looked after the buriel.Adams was not in Deadwood at the time. By the way, the TV series "Deadwood" shows the shooting of Hickok in the 1st season and is actually being re-run now in Canada. It is now in its 3rd season and an excellent Western series. Both Adams and Utter had moved on .Utter had bought a saloon in Socorro,N.M. Adams had just escaped a gang of 5 0wlhoots who had him pinned down in Magdalena,N.M. Their leader Del Virtue was intent on adding the Gunsmith to his list of trophies. Clint moved on and decided to lay low in Socorro and finds Utter there. Utter was in the process of selling his saloon ,intent on heading to Mexico. Clint decides to accompany his old friend for a while and they head to El Paso. Del Virtue ,who has now built his gang to 7 is in hot pursuit.What happens in El Paso turns into being very exciting and full of action and some interesting characters.After being severely wounded,it looks like it's the end of the line for these old friends. To find out what happens to our hero,don't miss this episode! Although a good story,it is a little weak on descriptions ,expressions and language of the Old West.
