Here is a tale that spans many aspects of the emotional trail as the episode begins in an eerie state and then by the end of the show you actually feel distressed for one particular party in the program. The show did not leave you with a nice feeling but you were entertained for the thirty minutes of viewing.
It begins when a local store owner is found hung from a beam in his building. It appears to be a suicide but when Marshal Dillon finds money missing he expects foul play.
Over at the Long Branch, Kitty has hired a middle age woman, Cora Bell, that has taken up with a lazy good-for-nothing man by the name of Mel Tucker. Cora is set to marry Mel, not really for anything he can do, but because time is passing her by and she wants to marry someone. When Mel starts showing off a wad of cash, Matt believes he has found the killer. But with Mel in jail, another suicide looking death occurs. It appears that Matt has the wrong man.
Good character placement in this show. All the cast were perfectly cast with rural rough looking people rather than the star of the week. A nice episode that was pleasant to watch.
