Brisco (Bruce Campbell) and Bowler's (Lucius Carry) employer Socrrates Poole (Christian Clemenson) is kidnapped, snatched away from his own birthday party. Brisco and Bowler take up pursuit of course, together with their new sidekick Whip (Jeff Phillips), who claims to be able to identify the kidnapper by scent. They make it to a town that's marshalled by Deputy Betty (Annabella Price), whom bad luck follows around, and where the only boarding house is the former morgue, run by Dianna Grayson (Jane Sibbett), daughter of the deceased mortician, who has been executed for killing his wife. However, of late the witnesses and jurors of the trial that sent him to the gallows die in droves, and that's where Poole fits right in, as at the beginning of his career as a lawyer, he handled the case. And some weird circumstances surround the case, like all the victims being dragged off by a horseless hearse, and several witnesses seem to have seen the deceased mortician - but eventually the horseless hearse turns out to be battery-powered, and the dead mortician his own daughter in disguise, as guilt has driven her insane after she has actually killed her mother and her father has only taken the blame - and of course, Brisco and Bowler see to it that justice is served and their friend is freed ...

 

In the 1930s and to a lesser degree also the 1940s, B-westerns were prone to carry horror elements, something that, apart from the odd exception, went out of vogue in later decades. But with The Adventures of Brisco County jr being somewhat of a heir to the western tradition of old (and Bruce Campbell sure having horror pedigree, even back when), it was probably only a question of time before the film went all out on this - and making a point of it, too, by even using the housed from Psycho as one of its locations. And the result is a very pleasant one, as the episode manages to blend the humour that makes the series with its admittedly old-fashioned horror elements and enough typical western elements to make a very entertaining whole. And Annabella Price as accident-prone deputy is fun to watch by herself and would have deserved a return to the series ... if only it ever had a second season.
