Poor, pathetic Emmett Dooley is a mouse of a man. And now he is absolutely convinced that he has killed a man. What is he to do?
Of course -- he should turn himself into the law and accept his punishment. And so he approaches Marshall Dillon to make his confession.
After questioning Dooley, however, Matt is convinced something isn't quite right. Dooley's description doesn't make sense.
So Matt ventures out to find out the real story.
Pretty good character study about survival of the fittest in the old west.
