escape Billy, Ed's younger brother, is wounded and arrested. Matt took off
after the gang but lost them. That evening, while dinning with Kitty, Thad
introduces his friend, Will Taylor, to Matt. It's apparent that he idolizes
the marshal and offers to help in any way he can. Later that night the four
outlaws return to Dodge, one of them becoming deceased in a failed attempt
to break Billy out of jail. The next morning Matt leaves Thad in charge of
the jail while he and Festus try, yet again, to track Ed and the rest of the
gang down. In the meantime, Doc had to pay a visit to an expectant mother on

one of the outlying ranches. On his way back to town he's stopped by two of
the gang members, beaten, and given a message to deliver to Matt that all of
his friends will meet the same fate, or worse, if he doesn't let Billy go.
Doc finds that Matt isn't back yet when he gets to town. Ed rides into the
marshal's office and tells Thad that he's just a traveler that met Matt on
the road and was told to come into town and tell him to meet Matt at an
abandoned way-station out at Black Fork. Thad doesn't quite buy it and
decides to obey Matt's last instructions to stay and guard the jail. At
Thad's appeal not to go, Will decides to take his place and go meet Matt,
with disastrous effects. The gang next beats up the local newspaper
publisher and his wife, not liking the story he printed about them. Matt
then takes Billy out of town, ties him to a tree, and uses him as bait to
draw the gang into a trap, but Ed figures out what's happening and attacks
Matt from behind!… Expand
