With actors John Carradine, Lola Albright and James Drury you know this is going to be a fine episode.
The story centers around the marriage of Ephraim Hunt (Carradine) and Lucy Hunt (Albright). Lucy comes into the Marshal's office claiming that Ephraim is set on killing her. So Matt sets out to have a chat with Ephraim and finds out that the older man is really in love with his young bride.
Not familiar with the situation, Matt talks to Booth Rider (Drury) that is a hired worker on the Hunt farm. He tells Rider that things are not well at the Hunt place and he needs to find work somewhere else. Rider refuses saying that he likes working for the Hunts.
But what really is happening is that Lucy is baiting Rider to get into a gunfight with her husband. If Rider kills Ephraim then she will be free and able to leave Dodge with a clean slate. But something goes horribly wrong with her scheme. And at the end of the episode no person will be happy with the outcome.
An excellent example of 'what goes around comes around'. The story was compelling and the characters interesting which always makes for a good watch and entertaining show.
