Ep 5. The Brazen Bell

Arthur Lilly and his wife Sarah arrive in Medicine Bow where they have heard a school teacher is needed. At the same time a prison break has taken place at Laramie and two of the convicts have come to Medicine Bow on their way to Canada. The Lillys are easterners and unused to the raw lifestyle of the west. Mr. Lilly is timid and dominated by his controlling wife. He left an eastern school after several students were killed in a fire and he was unable to save them. When the convicts arrive in Medicine Bow and take the couple along with the students hostage in the school house, Mr. Lilly is forced to confront his fears again. Does he save himself or his students?
