In this Gunsmoke episode, two opportunistic outlaws target Obie Tater, a humble, soft-spoken farmer rumored to be hiding gold. After brutally torturing him, they leave Obie broken but unyielding. Weeks later, he seeks help in Dodge City, where Matt Dillon and Chester initially doubt his innocence. Obie then meets Ella, a charming woman who quickly becomes his wife—only for Matt to suspect her true motives. When the outlaws return to kill Obie, violence erupts, loyalties fracture, and Ella’s last-minute remorse proves costly. The episode closes on a somber truth: Obie did have gold, but all he wanted was a simple life.
