After watching this two part episode, I have to say that it was not that bad. Perhaps it might have been better in a one hour format since there was much filler to stretch the story out for the full two hours but it played well enough to hold the viewers interest to the end.
To shorten the review it really is about Bear Sanderson (Morgan Woodward) having his wife killed by renegade Indians. When some Indians are found with a watch belonging to the Sanderson family, Mr Sanderson wants them dead on the spot. No court hearing for those red-skins.
But enter Marshal Matt Dillon who risk his friendship with Sanderson to make sure that the Indians get a fair trial. With a traveling attorney, Cicero Wolfe, willing to represent the Indians, it will go to trial and shocking evidence will be presented. But before that verdict is handed down we find out that the the lawyer, Wolfe, just happens to be an Indian himself. This only causes more problem for the lawmen in Dodge.
So now Sanderson and most of the town are near riot mode as Wolfe will defend the Indians in front of Judge Brookins. With the evidence presented it will be difficult to heal relationships that may be permanently severed.
The episode is worth a watch- but far from being the best in the series. Some parts were extremely entertaining while many parts were unnecessary dialog. A well acted show that is not a bad watch.
