This episode begins as Matt is chasing an outlaw in the outback of Dodge. The outlaw shoots Matt in the shoulder as Matt returns gunfire that kills the outlaw. Matt falls from his horse but happens to be rescued by an Indian that witnessed the entire event.
Soon some travelers bring Marshal Dillon's horse into Dodge. They tell everyone that they buried a man and brought the horse back with them. Now everyone in Dodge believes that Marshal Dillon was the one buried and Festus sets out to make sure.
While Festus is away, the Cattleman's Association run by Sam Wall (John Dehner) wants more control over rustlers. So they form their own safety committee and begin running the town. With Marshal Dillon possibly dead they want their own justice in the town of Dodge.
When Festus finds Matt some of the Cattlemen try to stop the Marshal's return. There will be a shootout in the streets of Dodge between the Cattlemen and the returning lawmen.
John Dehner, as the man behind the scenes, does a great job of playing the role. He controls all the action but has this silent, meek demeanor that makes his role stand out. A good show that keeps the interest of viewers the entire time.
