No Sale: A Gunman’s Threat and a Gambler’s Bluff
Description
Originally Aired: August 26, 1956
In Gunsmoke #229, “No Sale,” Kitty and Sam are offered a suspiciously high price for the Long Branch Saloon by two strangers—Brice and Temple. When Kitty declines, threats begin to fly, and it becomes clear the buyers have a deadly backup plan: kill Sam if Kitty won’t sign. With Marshal Dillon on alert and a surprise arrival from Abilene gambler Glenn Horn, a trap is laid to expose the con. But when the gunplay starts, only one man walks away. A tense tale of extortion, bluff, and grit in Dodge City.
