This is a very simple plot that is played out for the entire 52 minutes of air time. Will Mannon (Steve Forrest)is a crazed ex-civil war vet that has one of the fastest draws in the west. He is such a bad-butt that he is willing to kill just for the sport. He first shoots Festus outside Dodge and rides his mule into town. Now his sights are set on Marshal Matt Dillon.
Matt is out-of-town while Will Mannon intimidates the entire town. The townsfolk are so scared of him that while playing poker Mannon says he has four aces and no one questions him. And to show how bad he is- he even assaults Ms Kitty causing her to need Doc Adams for her injuries.
Newly finally finds Matt and tells him about Mannon and the injured Ms Kitty. The climax of the show appears when Matt rides into town and faces Mannon on the street of Dodge.
Steve Forrest did a good job of making the character of Mannon come to life. This could have been a long painful episode but Forrest's acting ability brought great interest to the show.
