Another Man’s Poison

Originally Aired: September 29, 1957 In Gunsmoke #286, “Another Man’s Poison,” Marshal Matt Dillon is drawn into a volatile triangle when Sally Bogan’s past resurfaces in Dodge City. Long believing her first husband drowned at sea, Sally is now confronted by Jeff Lightly—very much alive—and his sudden return puts her current marriage to Ben Bogan in jeopardy. As jealousy and wounded pride flare, Dillon struggles to keep the peace between two men determined to settle the matter with guns. The crisis reaches its breaking point when Sally makes a decisive choice that neither man expects, forcing both to face an uncomfortable truth about love, possession, and pride in the Old West. A tense moral drama that undercuts frontier bravado with bitter irony.
