Even with a story that was kind of surreal, the episode was entertaining enough to keep the viewer watching to the closing credits. The way the writer held the mystery of the shooter was a nice piece of work.
It all begins when Hutch Dawkins comes to town and shoots off some fireworks in front of the Long Branch. What Hutch was trying to do was cause some excitement but all it really did was get him in trouble. But when he agreed to buy rounds for the bar then the troubles were quickly forgotten.
Later, after Matt gets word that there was a bank robbery in Wichita and the bandits are heading toward Dodge. Afterwards, Chester gets shot while walking down Front Street. Matt believes the bank robbers shot Chester in order to cause a distraction while robbing the Dodge Bank. Matt is determined to catch the robbers and Hutch is hoping for some excitement.
This episode is not going to be on the top of most people's list but it was nice enough to for the viewer to keep watching. The main goal is to find out who shot Chester and by the time the credits roll we can only hope that Marshal has the right man for the right cause.
