Quotes
[Longbridge, a whiskey drummer, is sampling his wares]
Aeneas Longbridge: "Oh God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains."
Sadie Wren: You think that up all by yourself?
Aeneas Longbridge: Ha! That's from 'Hamlet: Prince of Denmark'. I'm merely trying to prove it.
Major St. Clair: You're mistaken, sir. It's from 'Othello: Soldier of Venice'.
Aeneas Longbridge: My dear Major...
Major St. Clair: Cassio's speech - Act 2, Scene 3, Line 291.
Aeneas Longbridge: [sighs] I bow, sir, to your superior memory. Already it would seem the enemy has stolen away my mind.

A Time to Run

Manolo Lalanda (Cesar Romero) is more of smoothie here than a joker. He charms glamorous Sadie Wren (Barbara Nichols) at a bar then quickly makes his exit.

Manolo is wanted by Joe Brandy, a bounty hunter and Manolo is wounded in a shootout. Later an injured Manolo stops Luke's stagecoach. He wants to steal a horse and getaway but passes out.

It is not long before Joe Brandy is on to the stage coach helped by some Indians in his posse.

Luke Perry, his passengers and few others find themselves holed up with Brandy and his men outside.

They have no idea what Manolo has done or why he is wanted. It turns out that he was a Mexican general now wanted dead or alive by the new regime.

Very much a base under siege story. It is a question of whether Luke and others give Manolo up and put themselves in peril or stand together.

Conveniently Manolo is not a baddie which makes the eventual answer a bit more straightforward.

It is a kind of story done often in episodic westerns.
