Another well written script by Meston and fine directing by Post, brings the story to life about running and the problems that it causes.
The story centers around a middle aged saloon girl, Kate, that has eyes for this young boy named Billy Daunt. However the feelings are not returned by Billy as he does everything to reject the feelings of Kate. One evening Marshal Dillon is awaken and told that Kate had been shot. The landlady, Ma Torvet, where Kate was living told Matt that she heard the shot went into the room and saw Billy outside the open window. She yelled for someone to stop him but he took off anyway. Now Matt and Chester are on the trail of Billy as he makes his way out of the area of Dodge.
As Matt and Chester get closer to Billy, they find that he leaves a trail of mayhem behind. And went they finally catch up to him he vows that he is not going back to Dodge because he did not kill Kate. After some rope work, Billy is captured and taken back to sit and jail claiming his innocents. Then a surprise twist shows up in the plot that could have been a blessing but it only turns out to be a bump in the road. If only Billy had not fled.
The way the story was told made the episode entertaining. And when the twist is revealed there is some great directing as the characters slowly understand their situation. Nice script and Good acting makes for a entertaining show.
Note- Second TV episode that mentions the famous actress and singer Lillie Langtry of the late 1800's. Plus we get to hear Amanda Blake sing an small section of an Irish song in this show.
