In this episode of Gunsmoke, a Chinese immigrant named Chen (Keye Luke) arrives in Dodge seeking honest work and reunion with his wife. Instead, he’s met with racism, violence, and suspicion.
Marshal Dillon opens the episode with a stark reflection on hate, setting the tone for a quiet but powerful story about identity, dignity, and the cost of prejudice. When Chen’s queue is forcibly cut, it’s more than an insult—it’s an attempt to erase who he is. Yet with quiet strength, Chen chooses a new path to reclaim his story.
