Drab script
kfo949430 September 2013
For whatever reason this episode just was not interesting. Matt is out on the prairie hunting for a gunrunner that has been selling rifles to the Indians. Matt captures the man, Serpa, and is on his way back to Dodge. But before getting to Dodge, the Indians capture Matt and release Serpa. Now Matt has to find a way to escape before being killed.

It was a thirty minutes episode but there was just too many odd events that made this story unbelievable. First of all why was Matt over 100 miles away from Dodge tracking an unknown on the prairie? There was no lead up to why he was even out there. Plus we all know Indians are excellent trackers, but with Matt only being 20 foot away they could not find him. I wanted to yell "Look down" but knew I would be unheard. A rare dull script that produced no interest.

(*Marshal Dillon quote) - "The Indians have got a meaner way."

Marshal Dillon heads out to the prairie to hunt Serpa down. When the Pawnee find out what Dillon is up to they take him as their prisoner.
