Gunsmoke – Twelfth Night. ep194, 551225

A digital artwork that features a stylized Christmas tree made of various shades of blue and white circles, triangles, and lines. The tree is set against a navy blue background, and its branches and ornaments are intricately designed with snowflakes, stars, and abstract shapes. The text "Celebrate the Season with Peace" is written in white cursive letters at the bottom, and a small white dove is perched on one of the branches.

A traveler comes through Dodge, a crusty man who tells Matt that he’s on his way to see a friend. Is there anything for Matt to be worried about?

Investigating the matter further, Matt learns of an old feud from back in the hills. Is there anything he can do to stop the determined man from the Ozarks? Matt tries to talk to the local man, Job, but he doesn’t seem too concerned over the matter, or that an old family rival is in town.

It’s the weekend, and for the time being, the two rivals spend some casual moments of hospitality with each other, but once Monday comes it’s going to be fair game. Matt has a plan to put an end to the feud, but will it work? Maybe Matt should just let this thing run its course.

Note: If this show sounds familiar, it was broadcast on an earlier date. This is a new production using an older script that aired on this date in 1955.
