When popular Dodge City man is gunned down, Matt realizes he was the intended target and that an innocent man has died in his place. Now Matt feels a sense of guilty vengeance and goes after the culprits.
Average episode, whose high point may be Matt's understandable anger. However, the storyline also involves several mistaken assumptions that lead to the cycle of violence. Thus an element of tragedy is present, though this is mistakenly not played up enough in the script.
Familiar face Harry Townes gets a patented role as the weasely back-shooter Bill Lee. Not much characteristic byplay to lighten the mood. There is, however, some suspense as Matt tries to track down the formidable Danch (Newlan). Once again, Arness shows an effortless ability to express a variety of required emotions. Otherwise, it's a fairly routine episode.
