Gunsmoke - The Kentucky Tolmans
The Tolmans are from from Kentucky. Hannah, the daughter is both pretty, intelligent and stubborn. Jed, the father, is a brooding drunk with a secret that is driving him to drink more than ever.
When Hannah comes to Matt it's because she's afraid her father is about to get himself killed. She asks Matt to lock her pappy up in jail in order to protect him.
When Matt confronts Jed, the old man refuses to confide in him. Soon Matt figures out the secret might have something to do with Vic, a son who is both a killer and robber -- and who has just been released from prison.
