Flashback: A Colonel's Command and a Gambler's Game


Listen Later

In this gripping episode of "Gunsmoke," tensions rise as a retired colonel, accustomed to commanding respect, finds himself at odds with the rough-and-tumble cowboys of Dodge City. Colonel Beck, recently arrived in town with his son Brian after driving a herd up from the Big Bend country, faces trouble from the men he's just paid off. The colonel’s military approach to leadership doesn’t sit well with the cowboys, and one of them, Budd Scott, makes it clear that he's out for blood.

Brian Beck, aware of the brewing storm, seeks out Marshal Matt Dillon in hopes of preventing the inevitable confrontation. But with a cheating gambler named Cottonmouth adding fuel to the fire, the situation becomes even more volatile. As the showdown looms, Dillon must navigate the treacherous dynamics between the colonel, his son, and the disgruntled cowboys.

Written by Les Crutchfield and directed by Norman Macdonnell, with a haunting score by Rex Koury, "Flashback" delves into the complexities of leadership, respect, and the often-violent consequences of pride on the frontier.
