Matt (James Arness) is caught in the middle of a small but violent range war when wealthy Rancher Clay Young (John Larch), accusing the Nolan family of being worthless squatters, tries to force them off their land. Josh Nolan (Ainslee Pryor) insists that the land is theirs and theirs alone, purchased fair and square from Young. Though both men seem to be telling the truth, Matt knows that at least one of them is lying--but he doesn't find out which one until a local judge orders him to evict the Nolans. This episode is based on "Smokin' Out the Beedles", the Gunsmoke radio broadcast of November 11, 1954. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
