GUNSMOKE: MANNON (TV)
Summary
One in this series of western dramas about Marshal Matt Dillon, lawman of Dodge City, Kansas, and the people who live in and pass through that town in the closing decades of the 19th century. In this episode, a notorious killer named Mannon comes to town and awaits the return of Matt so that he can kill him. While Matt's out of town, Mannon keeps busy by terrorizing the locals, who will do anything to get him to leave town. He takes a particular liking to Kitty and is frustrated by her obvious affection for Matt. As the townspeople try to think of ways that a confrontation between their marshal and Mannon can be avoided, Matt decides to come back to town and face his enemy. The locals warn Matt that Mannon is a quicker draw, and it turns out they're right. Matt's persistence, however, wins out in the end. Includes commercials and promos.
