The show started off with a rather simple plot that will be played out many times during the series run, as Matt and Chester get called for assistance outside of town with the desire to get them away so the bank can be robbed. The difference in this story is that the people that want to rob the bank are uneducated dirt people that live by their on standards.
It begins at the dirt house (that has been used many times in the series) located outside of town. Budge Grilk, the son, has gone and advised the Marshal that his help is needed at the house.. When Matt and Chester get to the house, that is occupied by Ma and Pa Grilk, they are held while Pa tells them he is going to kill them then rob the Dodge Bank. Matt has to find a way to escape.
This episode actually turned out to be a sad tale of life in the early west. A way of life that many people had to endure as things make a incorrect turn in living. Jeanette Nolan, that played the Ma, is excellent as she brings the hardship of the character's life to the surface. Even with the forlorn direction of the story, the episode was at least entertaining to watch.
