The Gene Autry Show season 1 episode 26, titled "Double Barreled Vengeance," follows the adventures of cowboy Gene Autry as he tries to help his friend Chuck Hamilton get revenge on the men who killed his father.
The episode begins with Chuck learning that his father has been murdered by a group of outlaws. He asks Gene to help him seek revenge, but Gene initially tries to dissuade him, telling Chuck that he should let the law handle the situation. However, Chuck is too angry and determined to wait for the law, so Gene reluctantly agrees to help him track down the killers.
Their first lead takes them to a saloon in a nearby town, where they meet a man named Bull Durham who works for the outlaws and has information on their whereabouts. Gene and Chuck confront Bull, but he refuses to cooperate and instead tries to start a fight. A brawl breaks out, but Gene and Chuck manage to subdue Bull and force him to tell them where the outlaws are hiding.
With this information, Gene and Chuck ride out to the outlaws' hideout and launch an attack. They are outnumbered, but manage to hold their own for a while before being overpowered. Just when it seems like they will be captured or killed, a group of lawmen arrives on the scene and helps them defeat the outlaws.
With the outlaws taken care of, Gene and Chuck return to town, where they are greeted as heroes. Chuck thanks Gene for his help, but also acknowledges that he has learned an important lesson about seeking revenge. He tells Gene that he now realizes that the law is there for a reason and that he should have trusted it to handle his father's killers. Gene smiles and tells Chuck that he's just glad they were able to put things right.
Overall, "Double Barreled Vengeance" is a classic western episode that showcases the bravery, determination, and camaraderie of cowboys in the face of danger. It's a reminder that sometimes justice can't be rushed and that it's important to trust in the rule of law, even in the Wild West.
