Sweet and Sour: The Woman Who Turned Men Deadly
Description
Originally Aired: August 5, 1956
In Gunsmoke #226, “Sweet and Sour,” Marshal Matt Dillon and Chester return from Wichita only to cross paths with Rena Decker, a seemingly innocent young woman with a dangerous gift for stirring men into violence. After saving her from a drunken brute at the train station, Matt brings her to Dodge, where she quickly charms everyone—except Kitty, who sees through the act. When fights and deaths begin to follow Rena’s trail, Matt realizes too late that her presence is far more sour than sweet. A cautionary tale of manipulation, masculinity, and misjudged beauty with a fatal cost.
