Gunsmoke – Crowbait Bob, (Nov 4th Broadcast Preempted). 561110

Doc talks to Matt about one of his patients. Old Crow Bait Bob is an old timer who has a health problem, and seeks Matt’s advice on making out his will. Though everyone tries to be optimistic with him, Bob realizes his days are running short.

Not seeing too many folks in town as being worthy, Bob names Kitty as his beneficiary to his estate. Why did he pick her? What will Bob’s estranged family have to say on the matter, and what is the rift between them?

Bob’s time comes, and Matt turns over all his worldly possessions to Kitty. A bundle that fits in a single box. Greedy relatives descend, thinking the box contains a hidden wealth. Are the sentimental treasures worth going to jail over?
