Dodge City is in a panic over rumors of an impending attack by the Pawnee Indians. Matt (James Arness) is skeptical of these rumors, since it doesn't seem logical that the Pawnees would announce their plans ahead of time. It turns out that the instigator of the panic is a man named Tewksbury (Robert Ellenstein)--who curiously enough has always been a friend of the Pawnees. The answer to this mystery may be provided by a solemn Indian maiden known as Quiet One (Anne Barton). This episode is adapted from the Gunsmoke radio broadcast of September 12, 1953. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
