Storyline:
In anticipation of a raid by the deadly Wagner outlaw gang, the townsfolk of Virginia City want to replace their ageing sheriff Roy Coffee, whom they feel is not equal to the task of standing up to the Wagners. Adam Cartwright is among the few who insists that Coffee remain in office-but even he has second thoughts when the Sheriff appears to be suffering from a latent case of cowardice. Written by Jerry Adelman, this episode was a tour de force for veteran character actor Ray Teal, here given a rare opportunity to deliver a performance that transcends the standard two-dimensionality of Sheriff Roy Coffee.

Reviews:
"Ray Teal who was for so many years a semi-regular on Bonanza as sheriff Roy Coffee he was like a piece of furniture from the Ponderosa house gets center stage in this episode.
Some folks on the Virginia City Town Council think that Teal has seen his best days especially since he was wounded dealing with a drunk. Also the notorious Wagner gang is in the area robbing banks and spreading a lot of mayhem. Some citizens wonder if Teal can still cut it.
Pernell Roberts who is on the town council offers to help Teal out. For the only time in Bonanza's run, Sheriff Coffee opens up about himself. We learn he's a widower with no children and he looks on the citizens of Virginia City as kind of his children. The job is his life.
All I'll say is that in the end it's proved the man still has what it takes to get the job done.
Nice to see Ray Teal get center stage in an episode." Written by bkoganbing on IMDb.com
