synopsis
Sue Ellen Terry is shot and killed while disembarking from a stagecoach. The town drunk claims that the shot was fired by Adam Cartwright, who'd been paying court to Sue Ellen despite her questionable reputation. Though Adam protests his innocence, the men of Virginia City -- many of whom had enjoyed the favors of the dead woman -- turn against him. Fay Spain and Buddy Ebsen are featured in this episode, which was first broadcast on December 12, 1959. "The Sisters" was written by Carey Wilbur.
