The Pest HoleEpisode Number: 24 Season Num: 1 First Aired: April 14, 1956 Prod Code: 525 |
Doc is using the jail to quarantine people as they fall ill. The common
thread between them seems to be that they all had a dinner meeting together, about the
upcoming German festival, at Bendino's restaurant. Doc, at first, suspects
some type of food poisoning as the culprit, but then discovers it's really
Typhus. Leading citizen Mr. Matthews takes a few of his men over to Bendino's
and beat him to death. Matt arrests Matthews and throws him in jail, much to
Matthew's disdain with all the patients. When Mrs. Saur, a German resident
living outside of Dodge, comes down with the disease Doc has to look
elsewhere for the cause. He sets up an experiment that could cause him to
come down with the disease himself, and possibly die!

(edit)
This is an interesting Doc episode. He finds a "Typhoid Mary" and to prove his case, he has the man cook for him and asks Kitty to cook the exact same meat for Matt.
