Synopsis

In The Square Triangle, U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon finds himself embroiled in a murder investigation that reveals the darker side of human relationships. The episode opens with a quiet night in Dodge City, but the tranquility is shattered when Dillon learns of Al Morley's brutal murder. Al is discovered dead with a knife in his back, and the circumstances surrounding his death are anything but straightforward. Jesse Wells, a young man who was camping with Al, claims that Red Lawson, Al's partner, is the murderer.
