Wanted: Dead or Alive The Choice (1958–1961) Online

Josh enters the Jessup Corners Hotel looking for Jane Koster, an old friend, who wrote to him. She gives him an envelope full of cash asking Josh to go after her husband of 25 years, Frank, who is a bounty hunter. Frank has left to go after the outlaw Stacy Lenz who recently shot Frank in the leg which has not fully healed. Jane wants Frank to give up the business to settle down as they are always on the move and he is getting older and slower. After hearing her story she tells Josh the direction he left and the nester's barn where he may be resting. Josh leaves the money but takes the bullet removed from Frank's leg to go after Frank. He catches Frank sleeping in the barn but has no luck in trying to talk Frank out of the hunt even when Josh proves Frank's thinking is slowing down. Both make their way to Lenz's girlfriend Martha Towers' house. She tells Frank where Lenz is hiding but in reality he is in the next room setting Frank up. Josh finds Towers less friendly but she tells him...

Here's another what I would call "human interest" story. The focus of this story is another bounty hunter, an older man named "Frank" whom Josh apparently has known for awhile. Frank got wounded recently trying to get this gunslinger and, instead of calling it quits, which is what his long-suffering wife wants, Frank wants to go back avenge being shot in the leg, even if it costs him his life. His wife, Jane, begs Josh to talk sense into him.

"Frank Koster" is played by veteran actor Dick Foran . Dick was a good friend of John Wayne's and played in a lot of "B" westerns, serials, and then television westerns. The man has an interesting biography. Check it out here on IMDb.

Maxine Start plays Frank's wife. I found Stuart to be the most interesting actor here (besides series star Steve McQueen, of course.). Stuart's acting and dialog in here were very impressive, very lifelike.

Anyway, Frank leaves and Josh has t bring him before the crook kills him. Some twists-and-turns develop during this episode which I think you'll find interesting, most of them dealing with the gunslinger's girlfriend, who is not what she seems to be.

Once again, a different kind of story and a good one.
