In this episode we are introduced to a older couple named Stoner that appear to have been some of the first people to settle on the prairie around Dodge. Mr Stoner is one that has been living his life the same way for many years and now feels like his way is being threatened by the new settlers with their new methods living around him. So now he blames all his ills on them and even goes so far as to kill anyone that gets in his way. When Marshal Dillon meets Stoner on the trail with stolen horses, Mr Stoner vows not to be messed with and fires on Matt. Matt fires back killing Mr Stoner.
Along come Mrs Stoner that believes Marshal Dillon murdered her husband and places a $1000 reward for anyone that kills the Marshal with no questions asked. All this does is lead to cowboys wanting to take their chance against Matt for the reward money. Unless something can be done more blood is going to be spilled in Dodge all for the sake of reward money.
A perfect western story that was well acted and well written. Helen Wallace was excellent as the unyielding widow with the forlorn look and the stubborn personality. A show that was entertaining to watch from beginning till end. Good watch.
