In this gripping episode of "Gunsmoke," John Asper, a man who swore off killing after his last deadly encounter in the spring of 1869, finds himself driven to break his vow when a dishonest lawyer named Rabb cheats him out of his ranch.
Asper, unable to read, had been deceived into signing away his property to his sons under the false assurance that they wouldn’t have to wait until his death to own the land. However, Rabb's cunning manipulation leaves Asper with nothing, pushing him to the brink of desperation. The story takes a dark turn when Rabb is found shot four days later, and suspicion falls on one of Asper's sons.
The episode showcases the moral struggles of a man forced to confront his past and the lengths he will go to protect his family and legacy. With tension building around the mystery of Rabb’s death, Marshal Matt Dillon steps in to unravel the truth and restore justice in Dodge City.
