Colleen So Green

Originally Aired: March 3, 1957 In Gunsmoke #256, “Colleen So Green,” a soft-spoken Southern belle named Colleen Tawney arrives in Dodge City with a tale of orphanhood and stolen savings. Wide-eyed and helpless, she quickly enchants the men of Dodge—Doc, Chester, Bull Rieger, and even the suspicious Marshal Dillon. But behind the green eyes and fluttered lashes lies a con artist of rare skill. As Colleen collects gifts, sympathy, and even property, Dodge’s good intentions unravel in a comic tale of charm, gullibility, and comeuppance.
