Monday, Oct. 21 - One Step Beyond: The Executioner

One Step Beyond (1959–1961): The Executioner (Season 3 | Episode 15 - aired 3 January 1961)

In 1862, hungry Confederate soldier Buzz Martin (as Jess Bradley) and his hound dog "Tom" are captured trying to steal food from a Union soldier. Although he poses no threat, Union Colonel Crahan Denton (as Martin) plants evidence to suggest Mr. Martin is a spy, and orders him executed. Suspecting his superior officer framed Martin, Captain Jeremy Slate (as Adams) challenges Mr. Denton. Denton responds by ordering Mr. Slate to lead the firing squad.

Later, disturbed by Martin's howling dog, Denton shoots the animal dead. Somehow, "Tom" has the last bark.
