The Posse That Wouldn't Quit is the fourth episode of the second season of Alias Smith and Jones. In this episode, Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, played by Pete Duel and Ben Murphy respectively, are on the run from the law yet again.

After their previous encounter with the relentless lawman, Sheriff Lom Trevors, the two outlaws are now being pursued by a posse. But this posse isn't like any other posse that they've encountered before; they just won't give up. Hannibal and Kid are forced to keep on the move, constantly staying one step ahead of their pursuers.

As the episode progresses, the outlaws discover that the posse has a secret weapon; a bloodhound that is hot on their trail. Hannibal and Kid decide that they need to catch a break, and hatch a plan to throw the posse off their scent. They create a decoy trail to lure the bloodhound away from them, and it seems to work.
