Water War at Cottonwood Pond
Aired: Sep 20th, 1952. A brutal drought has turned Dodge City's range bone-dry, and when a trail boss's thirsty herd runs up against a rancher's newly fenced-off water hole, tempers flash hotter than the summer sun. Marshal Matt Dillon rides out to keep fifty armed men from turning a water dispute into a massacre, but enforcing a law that lets one man exploit another's desperation may cost him more than he bargained for. A tense standoff drama about greed, drought, and the thin line between legal and right.
