- Quotes
Newly: You know, it's gonna be kinda nice riding on that train instead of horse-backing, especially as cold as it's getting around here.
Festus: Cold? Why Newly, you young scutters don't know what cold is. Did I ever tell ya about the time I wintered up in Wyoming Territory? It was so blame cold it'd freeze the horns right off of a bull buffalo. I recollect one mornin' I put a pot of water on the stove and whilst I was a-fryin' up my eggs, this here pot started to boilin' over. Well, I just took a-hold of it and opened up the door, gonna set 'er out there and let 'er cool off a mite. Before I could set that there pot down it'd froze plumb solid, so blame fast that the ice was still warm.
Newly: [pause] You know, Festus, you're amazing. All the things you've done and seen in your lifetime - you're plumb amazing.
During the first part of the show we get a rowdy bunch of outlaws that will not stop for any type of law or lawman. It is headed by Elton Sutterfield (Anthony Caruso) that uses a heavy hand to keep the others in line. They have just murdered a deputy marshal in another district and now are in hiding in the area close to Dodge City.
US Marshal Hargraves (Glenn Corbett) is the one that had his deputy killed and is on the trail of the group of outlaws as he moves into Matt Dillon's territory. Matt agrees to go with Hargraves but it seems that Hargraves is more interesting in getting revenge than justice. And as the two set out on the trail of the criminals, Matt will have to keep his eye also fixed on Marshal Hargraves.
This is not a bad story as the two lawmen set out on horseback to areas outside Dodge. But from then on the story loses appeal with dialog repeating itself after every scene. It just failed to entertain.
Anthony Caruso did a fine job as the leader of the outlaws but there is not much else remarkable about the show. Not even with the young girl named Jonnalee that was passed around by the gang of outlaws for favors. Failed in many aspects.
