In this intriguing episode of "Gunsmoke," Marshal Matt Dillon apprehends two notorious killers, Gorse and Orlo, and brings them back to Dodge City. While their guilt seems clear, three witnesses unexpectedly come forward to prove their innocence—but their motives are far from ordinary.

Gorse and Orlo, down on their luck and desperate for money, had killed a storekeeper in a botched robbery. Captured by Dillon, they seem resigned to their fate, more interested in the meals they'll receive in jail than their impending trial. However, things take a strange turn when George Blaine steps in, urging for their release. What could drive a man to fight for the freedom of known killers?

This episode, penned by the talented John Meston, delves into the complexities of justice and the unexpected twists that can arise in the wilds of Dodge City.
