Dirty Bill’s Girl: A Dealer’s Revenge and a Shotgun Showdown

Originally Aired: October 28, 1956 In Gunsmoke #238, “Dirty Bill’s Girl,” a new face in Dodge turns more than a few heads. Rose, a striking blackjack dealer, runs a table so hot it draws in both gamblers and trouble. When Marshal Dillon starts watching her play, he finds she’s not just a cardsharp—she’s a woman with a mission. Rose has been tracking one man across the frontier for four years, and now she’s found him: Elko Dean, the gunman who killed her father, the notorious gambler “Dirty Bill” Prawley. With a sawed-off shotgun hidden beneath the table, she means to settle the score. But when Matt steps between vengeance and justice, the final hand is played at point-blank range—and it’s the Marshal who has to cheat to save three lives.
