Gambler Nick Search (Andrew Duggan), a onetime friend of Matt Dillon (James Arness) rides into Dodge hoping to exploit Dillon's name in order to fleece the local townsfolk. It doesn't take long for Matt to realize that Nick plans to take gullible Enoch Mills (Simon Oakland) for every penny he has. Not wanting to see Nick get away with his scheme--nor to see him gunned down by Enoch--Matt conspires with saloon owner Bill Pence (Joseph Mell) to teach the gambler a hard and painful lesson. This episode is adapted from the Gunsmoke radio broadcast of January 15, 1956. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
