Audio gets a bit warbly in spots.
A snake oil salesman is in Dodge, selling his miracle cure. Will Matt have to run him out of town? Is the traveling tonic salesman doing anything illegal? Matt isn’t concerned with the tonic, or whether it actually has curative powers, but that it’s being sold on private property, without permission from the owner.
Finney claims that he’ll move out as soon as he sells off his stock. Will Medford, the land owner, be patient enough to let him put on his show, and sell his medicine? Doc is worried about the safety of the tonic. Though harmless, Matt is forced to carry out the warrant to evict the travelers.
When the time comes to serve the warrant against the trespassers, Finney is missing, and a secret emerges about Medford. A loophole in the law buys Finney some time, and the real law breaker in the story is exposed. It’s enough to make Medford do something stupid, like taking on Matt with his fists.
