A former girlfriend of Lord Bowler (Julius Carry), Lenore (JoNell Kennedy), has asked him and Brisco County jr (Bruce Campbell) for help as her business is pretty much bled dry by Roy Hondo's (Nicvolas Surovy) protection money scheme. In town, Bowler and Brisco meet up with Sheriff Aaron Viva (Gary Hudson), who's actually more than willing to arrest Hondo - just that in legal terms, Hondo himself hasn't committed any crimes, he has his henchmen for that. So Bowler and Brisco arrest one of his henchmen, Gage (Hawthorne James), and even show enough foresight to hide him away in mayor Sonny's (William Frankfather) place - but Sonny's actually on Hondo's payroll, so it's not long before Hondo gets to kill Gage just to eliminate witnesses. Bowler and Brisco come up with more schemes to trick Hondo into actually comitting a crime, but they're usually spoiled by young hothead Whip Morgan (Jeff Phillips), who has a personal score to settle with Hondo, but lacks the skills to do so, really. However, in the evitable final shoot-out, he proves to be Bowler and Brisco's secret weapon when he irritates Hondo just long enough by telling him he's actually his son to turn the tide for the good guys ...

Now this episode is hardly the re-invention of the western genre, actually the plot seems to have been copied from any number of B-westerns, but its light-footed approach really makes it work nevertheless, and Bruce Campbell and Julius Carry once again show great chemistry and let their comedic skills come into full swing. And to base the sheriff of the piece on Elvis Presley and have him eventually "invent" sunglasses is just funny as heck, all of this is making this one a pretty amusing watch.
