Just better than average, thanks to a few bright spots. The Outlaw Years wasn't as interesting as the original, mainly due to lackluster writing in most episodes. Most of the character-development was also limited. The co-star in this episode runs true to form, Devon Sawa delivers just an okay performance as Hank, a teenager whose slept with a soiled dove and is then accused of murder, tried and sentenced to death. Like most teenager-gonna-hang westerns, the kid looks like a victim of circumstances or wrongly-accused, but tragically destined to die for it anyway. The hanging IS cool...staged matter-of-factly with some spectacular acting from the hangee. Good police work by Call develops plot twists toward the end and the appearance of a crazy old woman alone on a remote ranch reveal that the teenager wasn't innocent after all.
