A feature article that highlights the best pop culture has to offer, looking at how Gunsmoke's third season episode, "The Cabin", was a shockingly bleak and tense adaptation of a radio play. The article explores the story of Matt Dillon's rescue of a young woman who was raped and beaten by two outlaws in a cabin, and how it contrasts with the show's previous episodes.
Trapped in a blizzard traveling on horseback from Hays City to Dodge City, Marshal Dillon attempts to take shelter in a cabin. Only in the cabin are two psychopathic killers and their hostage, the woman whose cabin it is.
Dillon finds a small cabin in the middle of nowhere as a refuge to wait out the storm. What he finds inside the cabin is a nightmare. Two killers, on the run, are holding a young woman prisoner in her own cabin after killing her father; they have made a slave out of her.
