Gunsmoke Season 13 Episode 23

When Matt first returns to Dodge City after being in bed at the reservation several days, his face is badly bruised. The next day, though, when he goes to talk to Mr. Evans at the reservation, his face looks fine.

In this episode, Matt suffers a brutal beating from the guards on the Indian reservation. Every time he is seen afterwards, he is holding his left side and grimacing in pain. However, when Mr. Evans finally allows him to be treated, Doc bandages the ribs on his right side instead.
