Synopsis

In the Gunsmoke episode titled Ozymandias, the story unfolds in Dodge City, where Burke Krager arrives with a court order to evict Sloak Carson from his homestead. Krager, a man driven by ambition, has spent years acquiring land and is now fixated on owning the entire valley. His desire to remove Carson, who occupies a mere 360 acres, is not about necessity but rather a matter of pride and control. As U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon prepares to serve the eviction notice, he senses the brewing tension that could lead to violence.
