Whenever Matt's hurt and at death's door, you can bet Miss Kitty will be by his side. This is no exception. Summoned from New Orleans she waits for three weeks till Dillon wakes up. She also waits for him while he goes off to find Flagg who escaped from prison to warn him about Mannon. Mannon comes to Dodge bent on killing everyone involved with sending him to prison. He's already killed the warden and the judge and now, Dillon and his redhead is next. This movie is based on the episode "Mannon" and many flashback scenes from the original episode are shown as memories from Kitty's point of view.
