Synopsis

William Smith, a master of villainous roles, embodies Jude Bonner, a man driven to cruel acts of kidnapping, brutalization, and murder. His vengeance is a direct response to his brother’s capture by Matt Dillon and subsequent execution for his crimes. It is perhaps the first time in seventeen years of *Gunsmoke* that Dillon pursues a target with the explicit intent to kill, relinquishing his marshal's badge in the process.
