synopsis
Crooked gambler Vint Brent (Phillip Pine) sizes up gullible Charlie Brewer (Stafford Repp) as his next patsy. Not long afterward, Brewer turns up dead, and his friend Jack Salter (Thomas Palmer) accuses Brent of murder. Though it looks like an open-and-shut case, Matt Dillon (James Arness) suspects that the truth is still "out there." This episode is adapted from the Gunsmoke radio broadcast of May 11, 1956.
