In this tense and suspenseful episode of Gunsmoke, Marshal Matt Dillon is thrust into a murder investigation when a woman known as Frogmouth Kate is found dead, and the most obvious suspect—Billy Daunt—disappears from town in a panic. Kate, a rowdy but harmless presence when sober, had been dreaming of marrying Billy and moving to St. Louis. But when she's killed in the dead of night, her plans come to a tragic end, and all eyes turn to Billy as the prime suspect.

Kate had been pestering Billy about marriage, and tensions had been simmering between them, especially when she had been drinking. As Matt Dillon begins his investigation, the pieces of the puzzle point to Billy's guilt, but is the case as clear-cut as it seems? Dillon must use his wits and instincts to uncover the truth behind the murder before the wrong man pays for a crime he may not have committed.

This episode, later adapted for the Gunsmoke television series on February 14, 1959, presents a gripping story of love, jealousy, and murder in the unforgiving world of Dodge City.
