Dead Man's Gun: Death Warrant
From TV Guide Online: A ruthless bounty hunter (Michael Moriarty) learns about "living on borrowed time" in this dark episode of the Western anthology series. While the local sheriff (Donnelly Rhodes) doesn't approve of the gunslinger's tendency to shoot first, Pike (Moriarty) assures him: "I always work within the law." That statement is called into question, however, when Pike kills an innocent bystander during a shootout. The court ultimately rules the death "an unfortunate mishap," but the victim's angry mother (Kate Jackson) feels differently. She decides to turn the tables on Pike---and offers a $1000 reward for his head. Ed: Bill Croft. Maria: Suki Kaiser. Hank: Zook Mathews.
