I have seen many wonderful episodes of Gunsmoke over the years but this one is one of the best.
PLUTO TV allows me to follow these episodes continuously over a period of however much time until they start over once again. To me, the best part of the series is when the color episodes begin in season 12 back in 1966(still my favorite season of the whole series).
"The Jailer " in episode 3 had many accomplished actors such as Bette Davis and Bruce Dean just to name a few. A twisted rotten to the core family if ever there was one. Davis played the role of a criminally minded vengeful matriarch to perfection who ruled her house and children with an iron fist and God forbid anyone who crossed her(son Jack found that out the hard way). Revenge motive based episodes are fairly common in television but this one was so well played throughout. You knew eventually the Stone family would trip up along the way causing their own demise but may not have ever happened were it not for some good apples mixed in with the bad ones. Good always triumphs over evil on television.
A few things do puzzle me in this episode though.
Since there was no trail left behind when Kitty and then later on Matt were kidnapped, just where was anyone supposed to start looking for either one of them. Yet Festus begins to go out anyways with a posse aimed at finding them. Where did they go?
Plus, it was mentioned a few times how the Stone family were putting their own nooses around their necks but could never figure out how they were ever going to be caught considering nary a soul knew who kidnapped Matt and Kitty and where they were being held. They probably would have been buried right on the grounds where they were hung and no one would have been any the wiser.
When you think about it, it was quite an ingenious and twisted plan.
The only thing that could have tripped them up was son Lou took an awful chance hanging around Matt's office in broad daylight waiting for Matt to come back and then having to orchestrate their exit. Anyone else could have walked in on them at any time. Hard to figure what Lou would have done then.
Still a very gripping story with great music and even better acting.
A must see episode.
