Ep 26. Dangerous Road

Ryker asks Trampas to escort a prisoner, Young Bob Coulter, wanted for murder of a woman to Coulter Junction as Trampas is close friends with the sheriff there. The trip is uneventful but Trampas is asked by Young Bob's father twice for favors which Trampas declines. He learns the sheriff was dragged and killed by his horse but Kitty, the sheriff's daughter, questions whether an expert wrangler like her father could be killed by the horse as does Trampas. Trampas proves the horse is ridable and not likely to have killed the sheriff but the current deputy is hard to convince. As Trampas learns more, he comes to suspect Young Bob killed the girl and then the sheriff to escape arrest but the elder Bob's men stop Trampas's investigation as he has the same suspicions. However, Trampas unwillingly to be stopped finds proof that leads to an unexpected revelation about the truth in both deaths.
