Faro dealer Earl Haney (Gene O'Donnell) is shot and killed by an unknown assailant, described as a man "in a red shirt with curly black hair." Now Marshal Matt Dillon (James Arness) must leave Dodge City unprotected as he tracks down the most likely suspect, Jim Bostick (played by future Mannix star Mike Connors, still billing himself as "Touch Connors"). Ultimately Matt catches up with Bostick, who insists that he is innocent, and that Doc (Milburn Stone can provide him with an alibi. . .but Doc is nowhere to be found. Capped by a grim but satisfying denoument, this episode is adapted from the Gunsmoke radio broadcast of March 19, 1955. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
