A Woman's Reputation
A young Southern gentleman (McGuire) comes to Dodge to visit his sister's old friend, Kitty. Trouble is he's got a hair-trigger sense of honor that's bound to get him in trouble with the roughnecks of Dodge. But how long can Kitty and Matt keep his run-ins from escalating into gunplay.
McGuire is excellent as the headstrong young dude, while Blake gets to show her acting chops in a featured role. Catch Kitty's spat with Matt over why men are the way they are. Blake can certainly be commanding when she needs to, making a good foil to the authoritative Arness. All in all, it's a slightly different kind of story with a poignant outcome considering what Kitty gives up.

Kitty's Elegant Past (part of it).
The dandy gent from Orleans was just too obnoxious.
New Orleans dandy-man, Billy Chris, arrives in Dodge to see Ms Kitty. It seems that Billy is the brother of an old friend of Kitty's, many years ago, before Kitty moved to Dodge. Billy is on his way out west and offered to ride and see Kitty for his sister. However Billy is horrified to find that Kitty is a saloon woman and even part owner. Billy finds himself wanting to defend the honor of Kitty Russell even when Kitty feels her honor does not need defending.
When Billy wants to start trouble with some rowdy cowboys Kitty tries to find a way to keep Billy from getting hurt or even killed. When Matt refuses to get involved, Kitty will have to take drastic action to avoid the death of a man defending her honor.
Even though the ending of the episode is actually heart-breaking, for the most part the show did not carry much interest. It was like a child was running loose on the streets of Dodge and no one in the cast would scold him. It was nice to see some of Kitty's old friends but perhaps they should have some valuable information before getting off the stage in the rural west.

Kitty's Rebellion
New Orleans dandy-man Billy Chris (Barry McGuire) arrives in Dodge to see Ms Kitty. It seems that Billy is the brother of an old friend of Kitty's, many years ago, before Kitty moved to Dodge. Billy is on his way out west and wants to see Kitty on behalf of his sister. However Billy is horrified to find that Kitty is a saloon woman and even part owner.
Soon Billy finds himself wanting to defend the honor of Kitty Russell even when Kitty feels her honor does not need defending, and she's determined to keep Billy from getting hurt or even killed when Matt refuses to get involved - Kitty will have to take drastic action to avoid the death of a man defending her honor.
Amusing episode featuring Kitty more as the brother of her friend from Louisiana (where she grew up) arrives in Dodge to visit her and finds that things are a little different here from the land of steamboats and all things honourable. Basically, it's a tale about locality and culture differences. A good performance by Amanda Blake and Barry Macguire as the dandy visitor.
