What happens

Marshall Dillon investigates a burnt cabin where a man has been found dead, apparently burned while sitting at his table. The discovery of a young girl, about ten years old, living alone at the remote homestead raises troubling questions about what really happened at the cabin.

A remote homestead cabin in the territory outside Dodge City

Characters: Matt Dillon, Chester, Albie, Terry

Listen for: The mysterious circumstances surrounding the man's death in the fire, and the revelation of a young girl living at the isolated property.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
