Jason (Jason Marsden), the son of Jedidiah Barkley (Adrian Sparks), who just happens to be one of Brisco's (Bruce Campbell) employers, is kidnapped by Brisco's arch enemy Bly (Billy Drago), who demands the last rod of the orb as ransom for the boy - the orb as in the most powerful weapon that's never to fall into the wrong hands, like Bly's hands, and Bly already has most of the orb. And yet, when asked for advice by his immediate superior Socrates Poole (Christian Clemenson), Brisco suggests to hand over that last rod to Bly. And Bly is really prepared for that rod, too, having kidnapped professor Wickwire (John Astin) to help him get the orb going. Brisco has a half-assed plan to free Jason, too, but through the orb he can communicate with his deceased dad (R. Lee Ermey) to help him - something that doesn't always hail great results as the relationship of Briscos junior and senior is somewhat strained. Yet somehow Brisco'd dad gets him on the right trail. Not quick enough for Barkley it seems as he hires Brisco's fellow bounty hunter Lord Bowler (Julius Carry) to free Jason. Of course, much chaos ensues, up to the point where Bly actually gets his hands on the rod and tries to initiate the orb, which costs one of his men's (James DiStefano) life, but of course everything ends happily in the end ...

Now I'm not saying this is a disaster, it's actually somewhat of a fun watch - but the whole ghost daddy aspect doesn't really sit well with this episode, as it adds fake pathos to the story when it's not needed, and doesn't sit too well with the series as a whole, which, if it deviates from pure western, goes for science fiction rather than the supernatural. Now I have to repeat here, it's still totally watchable, just not a better episode of this fun series.
