Belle’s Back: Secrets, Sisters, and a Fugitive's Return
Description
Originally Aired: September 9, 1956
In Gunsmoke #231, “Belle’s Back,” Belle Ainsley returns to Dodge after three years away—and immediately stirs up old memories, deeper secrets, and dangerous consequences. She claims she was abducted by the outlaw Jess Crider and forced to flee, but her younger sister Phyllis isn’t buying it. When Phyllis vanishes, Marshal Matt Dillon suspects Crider is back, hiding somewhere near Dodge. What follows is a tense, emotional showdown that reveals fractured family ties, youthful rebellion, and a tragic love gone wrong. A complex character drama set against the hard edges of the frontier.
