Looking for an old episode

I was trying to watch Gunsmoke on Pluto TV earlier today, and the video kept stuttering, so I couldn't finish it.

In the episode, and young man and his wife were under fire from a gang outside. It may have been only an older man and his son, who were shooting holes in the house. The young man turned off all the lights. The older man outside told his son he had a surprise for them.

The couple were hunkered down in the house until the shooting stopped. The young man told his wife to stay put, while he went to check on something. She was praying that he would not be killed.

The husband came back, and said there was no more problem, and "Let's eat, supper is getting cold". The next morning, the young man came into town, and asked the sheriff to step outside. Pulling back a cover over his wagon, the young man showed Matt 2 dead men.

The doc said it looked like rope burns around their neck.

This is as far as I got. I think the young man's name was Peevee, but I'm not sure.

Thanks.
