Samson the Great
Lawman: Season 3, Episode 10
Samson the Great (20 Nov. 1960)
On an otherwise slow day, a fight promoter rolls into town. Troop, his hands full refereeing, sees the fighter beat all comers. Afterwards, when they won't leave town as ordered, Dan finds himself the next contestant in the ring.
A champion prizefighter stops in Laramie, offering $50 to any man who can last two minutes in the ring with him. Nine men try. Nine men fail. The champ, celebrating his victories at a nearby saloon, then becomes loud and abusive. Marshal Troop orders him out of town and the champ agrees to go, but only if the Marshal agrees to fight him.
