Sick of working himself to death for next to no money, and convinced that no one appreciates him, Doc (Milburn Stone) is on the verge of leaving Dodge City forever. All this changes when Doc is kidnapped by stagecoach robbers Jed (Claude Akins) and Rod (Ray Bennett), who threaten to kill him if he can't save the life of their wounded cohort Brant. With the help of his Indian friend Tobeel (Frank DeKova), Matt (James Arness) devises a scheme to save Doc's life--possibly at the cost of his own. This episode is based on the Gunsmoke radio broadcast of April 3, 1954. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
