Out of Character
Mrs. Randolph visits Matt Dillon's office to ask about her son Hollis, who was known by the nickname Whitey and is missing. Matt must tell Mrs. Randolph a deputy sheriff killed her son two years earlier. The boy was part of a gang that robbed a Faro game and killed the dealer. The son was buried on Boot Hill in an unmarked grave.
As Mrs. Randolph is about to leave the office, Sheriff Darcy brings in a prisoner who coincidentally goes by the name Blackie. Darcy is suffering serious chest pains and has barely managed to get the prisoner to Dodge City.
Before they can take Sheriff Darcy to Doc Adams for treatment, the sheriff warns Matt and Chester Goode the kid is part of a gang that robbed a bank in Caldwell. The leader of the gang is a man named Tasker Sloan, and he has sworn to free the kid.
Mrs. Randolph takes pity on Blackie. She sees him as a sort of surrogate for her dead son.
Matt moves the shackled Blackie to a room in the Dodge House. Mrs. Randolph tries to free the kid under the auspices of bringing soup for Blackie. She throws the soup in Marshal Dillon's face, but Matt manages to prevent Blackie from escaping.
Just before he dies, Sheriff Darcy convinces Doc to promise Marshal Dillon will make sure he gets Blackie on the 7:10 train to Wichita. Some deputies from Caldwell will meet the train and take custody of the prisoner to be transported back to Caldwell to stand trial.
Tasker Sloan and his men soon ride into Dodge. Now Matt must get Blackie to the train while the gang is set on freeing him.
Helen Kleeb portrays Mrs. Randolph. This is the first of four Gunsmoke appearances for the actress. Although she was a familiar face in television dramas, her greatest fame came from portraying Mamie Baldwin, one of the eccentric Baldwin sisters, on The Waltons.
William Hopper makes the second and final appearance in the series in this story as Tasker Sloan. Hopper played villains in both of his Gunsmoke roles, both during this first season. He would soon begin starring in the Perry Mason series as Private Detective Paul Drake.
Actor Ron Hagerthy made the rounds of many of the television westerns in the 1950s and '60s. He fills the role of Blackie in this story.
Than Wyenn had previously appeared in a small part earlier in the Season 1 episode "Magnus." He portrays Sheriff Darcy here, He made one additional appearance in the series in Season 2.
This is a routine, predictable story. As other reviewers have noted, the portion of this story that deals with attempting to make sure Blackie is on that 7:10 train to Wichita bears some resemblance to the film 3:10 to Yuma starring Glenn Ford and Van Heflin, but with the short running time of this episode, there is never any real tension or suspense built.
The introduction of Mrs. Randolph and her sympathy for Blackie provide a curious, unneeded plot element to the story.
The film 3:10 to Yuma was based on the Elmore Leonard short story "Three-Ten to Yuma." David Victor and Herbert Little, Jr wrote several early screenplays for Gunsmoke, but most of them were based on John Meston stories written for the radio version of the series. This episode is a Victor/Little original. It is quite possible they borrowed some of the plot elements for this story from the Leonard story, which first appeared in a pulp magazine in 1953. It is interesting this episode aired in 1956 and the 3:10 to Yuma film was released in 1957.
A questionable part of this story is Matt's actions regarding the prisoner. Since when has Matt chosen to keep a healthy prisoner handcuffed in a room in the Dodge House? Why is the Marshal so concerned about the rest of the gang arriving? If any old gang can ride into Dodge and break one of their members out of jail easily, why didn't it happen more often? It would have been much easier to protect the jail against attack than it was to try to keep the prisoner in the hotel room with only handcuffs on his wrists. (This odd plot element lends credence to the idea that Victor and Little "borrowed" from Elmore Leonard's story.)
Having the characters take actions they would normally never take to accommodate a questionably clever plot device is an example of poor writing.
