Wind: Trouble Blows into Dodge City

Gunsmoke: Old West Stories

In this captivating episode of Gunsmoke, trouble rolls into Dodge with the arrival of Dolly Varden—a woman whose mere presence at the gambling tables seems to spell disaster. While Dolly doesn't gamble herself, anyone fortunate enough to have her by their side finds luck at the Faro tables, leading to fierce competition among the men of Dodge.

Things take a deadly turn when two men fight over Dolly, with one killed in what appears to be self-defense. As tensions rise, Marshal Matt Dillon knows that Dolly is stirring up more than just luck—her presence is causing a wave of violence in the town. When Dillon orders her to leave Dodge, Dolly refuses, leaving him in a difficult position. Can the Marshal find a way to bring peace to the town before more blood is spilled?

Featuring a compelling script by John Meston and the expert direction of Norman Macdonnell, Wind captures the essence of the Wild West, where danger can arrive at any moment—sometimes in the form of a single, seemingly harmless person.
