Gunsmoke: Matt Gets It (1955) [Season 1, Episode 1]

Synopsis (spoilers): A gunfighter from Amarillo comes to Dodge after having killed an unarmed man (he didn't know it, he claims). The sheriff of Amarillo comes to arrest him (he would rather kill him) but is killed by him. Matt Dillon, the sheriff of Dodge, tries to arrest him and is seriously wounded. He recovers and tries again to arrest him, only this time he has learned that the outlaw is not so good at a distance (he doesn't take his time to aim), and shoots him before he comes too close.

Appraisal: It's a fair entertainment; as far as I can remember, it's the only episode I have seen, although who can really tell what he has seen in his faraway days of childhood?
