Warning: Spoilers
**SPOILERS** No doubt kfo9494 is right. Suzanne's beauty entangles first them, and then herself, through Matt's intervention. He did a better job of setting them up than she did. Easy to see why she was bent on revenge; a normal motive. Easy to see how she could get the two murderers to set up against each other. Too bad it didn't work out her way. I think it would have been more interesting. What was unclear is how Chester saw it all coming, and not Kitty. She was pretty foxy, too, and she knew ALL about bar girls and trail scum.

Again. Matt shoulda collected Scorp's horse and gear; you can't just let stuff rot. Buzz bait like Scorp, yup, good stuff, nope.

Suzanne Lloyd was the beauty- the script was the beast.
kfo949425 September 2013
The episode begins out on the prairie as we meet a father, James Horne, with his twenty-something year old daughter, Harriet, camped out by their wagon. As two men approach on horseback, James tells Harriet to hide in the bushes and not to say a word. Sure enough the two men, Ben Hoagler and Dan Scrop, are not friendly and end up shooting the father before riding off.

Harriet walks nearly forty miles to Dodge where she plots her revenge of the killers. Instead of telling the Marshal, she goes to work at the Long Branch until the men come in to drink and then give then a taste of revenge. But the two men are smarter than she thinks and could lead to more danger for the young Harriet.

This is a mildly interesting tale but really was not the most entertaining show of the lot. Suzanna Lloyd's beauty was the shows most notable part but there was not that much more to carry the program. The writers did try to give Chester some interest by making him smitten with the woman but it only last a few seconds on screen and would not be held over to another episode. Nothing wrong with the actors, it was the script that was weak.

Harriet's Big Mistake
StrictlyConfidential13 March 2021
(*Harriet Horne quote*) - "I don't like wishy-washy men."

Harriet Horne has witnessed the murder of her father. She knows who the men are that did this and so she seeks revenge on her own terms.

Getting a job as a saloon girl at the Long Branch, Harriet gets the two men responsible for her father's death to fight between themselves.

what became of her father's body?

Her father was last seen where he was shot,forty miles from Dodge City.

Harriet supposedly walked forty miles to Dodge City but was in better shape than most people would have been after four miles.
