Plot Overview
Sully Hobbs and some of his cronies come to North Fork with the intention of taking over the town. He knows that to do so he will first have to dispose of Lucas McCain. Rather than take him on himself, he bullies the local barber, Sam Barrows, into calling Lucas out. Barrows isn't a fighter, something that is a disappointment to his son Jeff, one of Mark McCain's classmates. He knows that to refuse to call out Lucas means certain death but the outcome of calling him out will have the same result.
