After a few episodes in the 19th season that was less than watchable, the show returns to its roots and provides the viewer with a top notch episode that is as good as any show in the entire run of the series. As simple as the plot seems, the show has a nice twist that is usually unseen in western type shows. Thus making it a very entertaining show for viewers.
When a gunslinger named Scott Coltrane (Steve Forrest) tries to make Dodge City his home, his reputation precedes him. Seems like every young gunman will try there luck with Mr Coltrane in order to make a name. This will cause problems not only for Coltrane but for the citizens of Dodge City.
Matt will either have to live with his town being a killing field or make Coltrane leave town. When all else fails, it may have to come to a gunfight in the streets of Dodge City between Marshal Dillon and Scott Coltrane. The Marshal versus the fastest gunman in the west.
This is one of the better episode of the series. Make sure that you stay for the entire ending or you could miss one of the better written scripts in a long time.
NOTE- Glenn Strange (Sam) is very ill at the time of filming this episode. By the time the show is broadcast, Mr Glenn had passed. Even though Mr Strange has no speaking part, it was very evident that lung cancer has taken its toll on the fine actor.
