Originally Aired: January 20, 1957

In Gunsmoke #250, “Categorical Imperative,” Marshal Dillon defies a raging snowstorm to recapture Clay Macklin, an unrepentant cattle rustler who’s almost certain to walk free due to lack of evidence. As the elements test their endurance, a near-fatal accident on the ice forces Dillon to rescue the very man he pursued—sparking an unexpected shift in Macklin’s hardened perspective. A philosophical tale of duty and principle, this episode reflects on the essence of justice and why a man upholds the law even when the outcome is all but predetermined.

Cast: William Conrad, Parley Baer, Howard McNear, John Dehner, Ben Wright
