Originally Aired: October 31, 1953

In Gunsmoke #080, “How to Kill a Woman,” Marshal Matt Dillon investigates a series of brutal stagecoach attacks where robbery turns to senseless murder. As suspicion circles a stoic station master and a cold-blooded drifter named Nat Pilcher, Dillon uncovers a haunting backstory of betrayal, obsession, and a killing done in the name of pride. When a woman is gunned down for no reason and vengeance brews on the prairie, Matt must untangle a tragedy rooted in a man's shame and another's thirst for retribution. A bleak and morally complex tale of justice on the frontier.

Cast: William Conrad, Parley Baer, Jack Edwards, Lawrence Dobkin, John Dehner
