There’s just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that’s with a US Marshall, and the smell of gunsmoke.

A couple of cowhands with guns confront the rancher they had been working for. The younger man isn’t ready for the older mans actions in killing the unarmed rancher. They head into Dodge to set up their alibis. They play the innocent act with Matt Dillon, but will their stories hold water with him? For now it appears to be working.

At the ranch, Chester and Matt break the bad news as gently as they can, and learn what they can from the young bride. Though Matt doesn’t have enough hard evidence, his suspicions about the two ranch hands is growing. The plan is to play it cool, and let them think they aren’t suspects as he continues his investigation.

Matt raises the stakes when he ruins the plans of the two ranch hands, but will he be putting himself into danger? As Matt waits for the pressure to build, he spends a few tender moments in the Long Branch with Miss Kitty.

The bad guys are on the move, so Matt returns to the ranch to arrest his suspects, and a secret comes out about a love interest with the rancher’s wife and The younger of the cow hands. At least she’s an honest enough person to help Matt lure them in.

Rough justice is dealt, the hard-case is gunned down. But what about the younger one, the woman’s lover? When he’s missing, worries that he was killed as well begin to surface. Will he be found, and reunited with his love interest? Will he prove to bejust another gunman, or just another victim?
