This episode was one of the ones that Rod Serling mentioned in the prologue of the series and I didn't think it sounded very interesting. I really don't like the whole western setting in any film or TV show, but I tried to not let that change my opinion about this.
The plot was okay, but the characters were what I liked most about this episode. The town's bully 'Dan Hotaling' (Martin Landau) was an interesting character to watch, he really looked good and his body language was fascinating. I felt that this episode pushed to hard to get across the moral of the story - that guns don't solve anything. That's all the plot really concentrated on apart from the protagonist 'Al Denton' (Dan Durea) sobering up.
The whole potions part of this episode was very interesting and I felt like they could have done more involving them, but they didn't. 3/10.
