Gunsmoke - Overland Express
A stranger named Joe Beaudry killed a man in Dodge and then got on his horse and rode 90 miles to the Northwest. He made it across the Smokey Hill River before his horse played out and fell behind a small knoll. Beaudry put a knife in him and then settled down to wait.
Half an hour later he shot Matt's horse out from under him and crippled Chester's. Then he threw his gun down, put his hands in the air and gave up. Now they were three men 90 miles from Dodge City with no horses.
Before they will make it back to Dodge, however, they will learn much more about the character of their prisoner.
