Doc (Milburn Stone) comes upon a remote prairie cabin occupied by a hostile, reclusive woman named Florie (Cloris Leachman) and a bedridden man (Philip Bourneauf) whom Doc presumes is Florie's husband. It soon develops that the invalid is holding a gun on Florie, intending to kill her--or is he trying to prevent her from killing him? Matt (James Arness) doesn't figure out the truth of the situation until one of the two strangers ends up dead. This starkly dramatic episode is based on the Gunsmoke radio broadcast of February 5, 1956. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
