... although Matt does take some chances that could have been hard to explain to his superiors had things gone badly.
Two partners in a homestead and friends of fifteen years start feuding over the one's cooking. The other one is tired of eating grits and flapjacks. The spat escalates to griping about every issue they've ever had with each other. And ultimately to gunplay. Matt intervenes and jails the pair - in separate cells of course. He tries introducing them to a great cook who could use a job and a home, which would eliminate the cause of the fight in the first place. Although impressed with her cooking, they still want to kill each other. So Matt takes a huge chance.
How does this turn out? Watch and find out. And enjoy this rare humorous Gunsmoke.
Note Robert Emhardt as one of the feuding partners. He was a prolific supporting actor in his day and was featured on a chili commercial asking the question - "Homemade or Hormel?" Apparently he would have never asked that about his partner's cooking.
