Strother Martin at his best

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the best in the long running series, "Death Valley Days". Strother gets short changed for the loss of his chickens after a fire on his farm. The insurance agent shorts him but is not until his wife points out the mistake that he learns of being bilked out of $4.00. With the help of a school teacher, Strother memorizes his case against the insurance agent and simply stuns the court and everyone tbere. This is Strother at his best. I dare say that no one else could have played this part any better. So, sit back and enjoy this episode, my friends; it does not get much better than this. Thanks to IMDb for bringing this our way.
