After Paladin, in a shootout killed his friend Tom Carey, who had beaten Paladin earlier in a "game" of quick draw:
Marie Ellis: You took an awful chance.
Paladin: No, I always knew I could beat him. I just let him think he could beat me. I knew it pleased him. (edit)

This episode was redone some years later on "Gunsmoke", with the episode titled "The Tarnished Badge". The characters' names were changed, with Dillon coming to see an old friend who was a sheriff who had gone bad. All of the basic storyline was unchanged, the plot being "fleshed out" to extend the story to an hour. (edit)
