For this purpose, the bad guys engage the services of Nicholas Blok (Eric Braeden), a coldblooded troubleshooter who specializes in abduction and assassination. Blok endeavors to force his prey into the open by kidnapping Dorman's daughter Katrina (Dinah Anne Rogers)--and he has no intention of allowing FBI Inspector Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.) to get in his way. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

A perennial victim of bullying, shy young Kurt Sprague (Peter Breck) hires Paladin (Richard Boone) to teach him how to use a gun.

But it's already too late: The next time Paladin sees Kurt, the boy has transformed into a sadistic gunslinger who kills for the love of killing. This episode was written by Frank D.
