Speaker 1: the direction of Norman MacDonald. Now back to the golden
0:40
Speaker 1: age of radio. Around Dodge City and in the territory
0:54
Speaker 1: on west, there's just one way to handle the killers
0:57
Speaker 1: and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and
1:00
Speaker 1: the smell of gun smoke.
1:20
Speaker 1: Gunsmoke, starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that
1:24
Speaker 1: moved west with young America.
1:26
Speaker 3: And the story of a man who moved with it.
1:29
Speaker 4: I'm that man. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. The first
1:34
Speaker 4: man they look for and the last they want to meet.
1:37
Speaker 3: It's a chancy job. And it makes a man watchful.
1:41
Speaker 3: And a little lonely.
1:59
Speaker 5: I never thought a.
2:00
Speaker 1: Dodge was a thing of beauty, Mr. Jones, but it's
2:02
Speaker 1: looking kindly pretty to me today.
2:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a hot trip.
2:08
Speaker 1: Sure am glad to be back. You'd have done as
2:11
Speaker 1: good to stay right here. We picked you up, didn't we?
2:15
Speaker 6: We ain't gonna do you no good. What do you
2:17
Speaker 6: mean by that?
2:17
Speaker 3: Forget it, Chester.
2:24
Speaker 5: Oh.
2:25
Speaker 4: Take the horses around to the stable, will you, Chester?
2:28
Speaker 4: Ask Moss to rub them down.
2:29
Speaker 6: Well, yes, sir, but don't you want me to help
2:31
Speaker 6: you lock this fellow up?
2:32
Speaker 4: I think I can handle it.
2:34
Speaker 2: Well, it ain't going to be for long.
2:36
Speaker 5: You see now, Mr.
2:36
Speaker 3: Dillon?
2:37
Speaker 5: There he goes, talking like that.
2:38
Speaker 3: Never mind, Chester.
2:39
Speaker 4: Just go along, huh?
2:40
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
2:44
Speaker 3: All right, Quarry, come on.
2:58
Speaker 2: I'll just soon tell you, Marshal.
3:01
Speaker 5: Oh?
3:02
Speaker 3: Tell me what?
3:03
Speaker 6: That you ain't gonna keep me locked up. My brother Norton,
3:06
Speaker 6: he ain't gonna stand for it.
3:10
Speaker 3: I got him then.
3:14
Speaker 6: My brother Norton, you'll.
3:16
Speaker 5: Come after me for sure.
3:18
Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
3:20
Speaker 6: You better listen to.
3:21
Speaker 3: Me, Marshal. I'm telling you true, he'll get me out.
3:25
Speaker 4: You know, I wish I had a dollar for every
3:27
Speaker 4: man I've locked up who said that and who stayed
3:30
Speaker 4: right here until I let him out.
3:32
Speaker 3: Well, no, it's different.
3:33
Speaker 4: Maybe so, but I wouldn't hold my breath until he
3:35
Speaker 4: got you out.
3:36
Speaker 6: I tell you.
3:37
Speaker 3: Now, why don't you settle down and shut up?
3:40
Speaker 6: You see?
3:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll see.
3:56
Speaker 4: Another beer, Marshal?
4:00
Speaker 3: No, thanks, Sam.
4:01
Speaker 4: On a day like this, I'm afraid it'll put me
4:02
Speaker 4: to sleep.
4:03
Speaker 2: All right.
4:07
Speaker 6: I'd like to buy you a beer, Marshal.
4:10
Speaker 4: Oh?
4:12
Speaker 3: I don't know you, do I? Well, no, Marshal, not yet.
4:15
Speaker 6: I was figuring on changing that.
4:17
Speaker 3: What's your name?
4:19
Speaker 6: Nort Small.
4:19
Speaker 5: Oh.
4:22
Speaker 6: You know my brother Cleary, Marshal?
4:24
Speaker 3: Yeah. He's in my jail.
4:27
Speaker 6: I was aiming to talk a little about that.
4:29
Speaker 2: Well, go on.
4:31
Speaker 3: Talk.
4:34
Speaker 1: Marshal, I just figured we could make a deal. A
4:37
Speaker 1: regular business deal, you might say.
4:39
Speaker 3: I wouldn't offer a bribe if I were you.
4:43
Speaker 6: I ain't even thinking that way, Marshal.
4:46
Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad to hear that. No, sir, no.
4:48
Speaker 1: I'm a gambler, Marshal Dillon. I'll gamble for anything. Money, horses,
4:53
Speaker 1: a woman.
4:53
Speaker 3: Or your brother.
4:55
Speaker 1: Well, just let's look at it like this, Marshal. We
5:00
Speaker 1: sit down to a few hands of poker.
5:02
Speaker 4: You could win a lot of money that way. And
5:05
Speaker 4: you'd win Cleary, huh? Well, an accident could happen, couldn't it?
5:09
Speaker 6: He could get out.
5:11
Speaker 3: An accident could happen to anybody, Swamp.
5:13
Speaker 6: Well, now, listen.
5:14
Speaker 3: You listen to me. You say you're a gambler.
5:16
Speaker 4: Well, if I were you, I'd bet on a poker
5:19
Speaker 4: game or a woman, but I sure wouldn't bet on
5:21
Speaker 4: getting Cleary out of jail.
5:23
Speaker 6: Every man has his price, Marshal.
5:25
Speaker 3: Yeah, folks say that.
5:26
Speaker 6: Now, don't be too high and mighty with me. You
5:30
Speaker 6: got your price, too, and I'll find out what it is.
5:32
Speaker 3: Get out.
5:33
Speaker 6: You mark my words?
5:33
Speaker 3: I said get out. Sure, Marshal.
5:40
Speaker 6: Next time, maybe it'll be my play.
5:43
Speaker 3: Don't count on.
5:51
Speaker 2: It.
5:53
Speaker 4: Sam, I guess I'll have that beer after all.
5:55
Speaker 6: All right, Marshal.
5:56
Speaker 5: I'll get it for you, Mark.
5:58
Speaker 3: Oh. Thanks, Kitty.
6:01
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
6:05
Speaker 3: Giving me pretty quick service.
6:07
Speaker 5: God, I won't be seeing you for a while.
6:09
Speaker 3: Are you that anxious to get away?
6:11
Speaker 6: I can't deny a few days away from Dodge won't
6:15
Speaker 6: break my heart.
6:16
Speaker 3: Yeah. You want me to pick up your stage ticket
6:19
Speaker 3: for you?
6:20
Speaker 5: Oh, I got that yesterday, Matt.
6:22
Speaker 1: I wasn't taking any chances on missing it.
6:25
Speaker 3: You sure weren't.
6:26
Speaker 4: I'll come by and carry your bag down for you. Thanks, Matt.
6:30
Speaker 1: Don't be late.
6:31
Speaker 5: Don't worry.
6:31
Speaker 3: I won't. I don't want you to blame me if
6:34
Speaker 3: you miss the stage.
6:36
Speaker 5: The End.
6:49
Speaker 3: That road don't seem to get no smoother. I'll say
6:52
Speaker 3: that for it.
6:53
Speaker 5: It certainly doesn't.
6:54
Speaker 4: You know, I heard a doctor once.
6:56
Speaker 3: He said it was.
6:57
Speaker 4: Good for your innards getting thrown around like this.
7:01
Speaker 1: That may be, but it's harder than the rest of you.
7:05
Speaker 3: That's sure a fact.
7:06
Speaker 1: Well, we'll be in Dodge for long.
7:09
Speaker 4: I won't be sorry about that.
7:12
Speaker 5: I don't think I will either this time. I.
7:15
Speaker 3: Get out of here.
7:17
Speaker 2: Get out of here.
7:48
Speaker 5: Climb up. Here.
7:49
Speaker 3: Find your own road. It helps.
7:51
Speaker 5: You ain't walking very steady, ma'am.
8:15
Speaker 6: You all right?
8:18
Speaker 1: Stage.
8:19
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you.
8:20
Speaker 3: It's the marshal.
8:21
Speaker 5: Stage. Somebody help.
8:23
Speaker 6: Here now. Here, here.
8:27
Speaker 1: You sit right down there and I'll seat it.
8:30
Speaker 6: I'll take care of you, ma'am.
8:31
Speaker 5: Yes, ma'am.
8:33
Speaker 6: I'll take care of you real good.
8:50
Speaker 4: Marshal!
8:52
Speaker 3: I ain't had no food since this morning.
8:54
Speaker 4: The way you're going, you're not likely to hurry it
8:57
Speaker 4: up any.
8:57
Speaker 3: Now, you listen here, Marshal. A man has a right
9:00
Speaker 3: to his dinner. You haven't starved yet. Well, it ain't
9:03
Speaker 3: your fault. The stuff that Chester feeds me. You eat
9:06
Speaker 3: it or you don't, it doesn't make much difference to
9:08
Speaker 3: me one way or the other.
9:10
Speaker 6: I got a lot to get even with you when
9:12
Speaker 6: I get out.
9:12
Speaker 3: Yeah, when you get out. You better be ready, Monty.
9:15
Speaker 1: Mr.
9:15
Speaker 5: Dillon!
9:16
Speaker 3: Mr.
9:17
Speaker 1: Dillon!
9:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, back here, Chester.
9:20
Speaker 5: Mr. Dillon, it's just awful.
9:22
Speaker 3: Oh, what's awful?
9:23
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody left alive. Bodies and dead horses.
9:25
Speaker 5: That's all they could find.
9:26
Speaker 3: What are you talking about?
9:27
Speaker 5: Mr. Dillon, there's been a wreck. A terrible, bad stage wreck.
9:30
Speaker 3: Huh? Where?
9:31
Speaker 5: A few miles north. Stage pitched down off the bank
9:34
Speaker 5: there and turned over.
9:35
Speaker 4: Coming from the north?
9:36
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
9:36
Speaker 6: Mr.
9:37
Speaker 1: Dillon?
9:37
Speaker 3: Have you told Doc? No, sir.
9:39
Speaker 5: Not yet.
9:39
Speaker 3: All right, go get him.
9:40
Speaker 6: Yes, sir.
9:41
Speaker 5: Mr. Dillon?
9:41
Speaker 3: Go on, Chester. I'll meet you at delivery stable.
9:43
Speaker 5: But, Mr.
9:44
Speaker 3: Dillon! What is it now?
9:45
Speaker 5: Ain't that the stage Miss Kitty was coming back on?
9:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chester, it is. All right, go on. I'll get Doc,
9:51
Speaker 3: and let's get going.
9:51
Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
9:52
Speaker 3: Right away.
9:52
Speaker 5: All right. There it is, Mr.
10:11
Speaker 1: Dillon.
10:12
Speaker 6: Right down there.
10:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
10:14
Speaker 5: That driver must have.
10:15
Speaker 1: Really been whipping them horses around that curve.
10:18
Speaker 3: Or else they were spooked.
10:23
Speaker 5: Hello, Marshal.
10:29
Speaker 3: Hello, Joe. This is the worst mess I've ever seen. Yeah.
10:35
Speaker 1: Milt and me, we laid them out over here. Done
10:39
Speaker 1: the best we could.
10:40
Speaker 3: The doc's on his way.
10:41
Speaker 1: I don't think there's nothing for him to do, Marshal.
10:45
Speaker 1: You can see for yourself. We didn't see no signs
10:50
Speaker 1: of life.
10:52
Speaker 3: Uh-huh.
10:55
Speaker 5: Mr.
10:55
Speaker 3: Dillon? Yeah, Chester.
10:57
Speaker 5: She ain't there. Miss Kitty ain't there.
11:01
Speaker 3: Joe.
11:02
Speaker 6: Yeah, Marshal?
11:03
Speaker 3: That's all you found.
11:05
Speaker 4: There isn't... Uh, nobody was thrown out anyplace.
11:09
Speaker 3: Else, huh?
11:10
Speaker 1: Well, not that we could see when we come on her, Marshal.
11:14
Speaker 1: And me and Milt looked around pretty good. We wanted
11:17
Speaker 1: to be sure.
11:17
Speaker 3: Yeah. Thanks, Joe. You did a good job.
11:21
Speaker 1: Sure, Marshal.
11:21
Speaker 3: Come on, Chester. Let's look around.
11:24
Speaker 5: Yes, sir. I sure am glad about Miss Kitty.
11:32
Speaker 3: Yeah.
11:37
Speaker 4: Joe, did you shoot these horses?
11:41
Speaker 6: No, Marshal.
11:43
Speaker 5: They were shot when we found them.
11:45
Speaker 2: Thanks.
11:48
Speaker 5: Somebody must have been here before, Mr.
11:49
Speaker 3: Dillon.
11:50
Speaker 5: Yeah.
11:51
Speaker 3: Somebody sure shot the horses.
11:53
Speaker 5: It's a good thing they was put out of their misery.
11:56
Speaker 4: Whoever did it, his trail has been trampled down by
11:59
Speaker 4: everybody who's been here since.
12:01
Speaker 1: Well, he done a nice thing, whoever it was. I
12:06
Speaker 1: wonder what made Miss Kitty change her mind about coming
12:09
Speaker 1: home on this stage, I mean.
12:10
Speaker 3: I'm wondering about that, too, Chester.
12:14
Speaker 2: Well, I always.
12:15
Speaker 1: There's probably a message at the telegraph office.
12:19
Speaker 3: Yeah. Maybe there is.
12:21
Speaker 5: I sure am surprised, Mr.
12:37
Speaker 1: Dillon. I was sure there'd be a message. It just
12:43
Speaker 1: ain't like Miss Kitty not letting us know no more.
12:46
Speaker 3: Yeah.
12:47
Speaker 1: Of course, it could be that she maybe wanted to
12:50
Speaker 1: surprise us. That could be.
12:55
Speaker 5: I say, that could be, couldn't it, Mr. Dillon?
12:58
Speaker 3: What? What's that?
13:00
Speaker 5: I was just saying, it could be.
13:02
Speaker 1: That Miss Kitty maybe was wanting to surprise us.
13:05
Speaker 5: Oh.
13:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, maybe so. Marshal? Marshal Dillon? Yeah, boy?
13:12
Speaker 5: I'm supposed to give you this. Well, Mr. Dillon.
13:15
Speaker 6: Where'd you get this?
13:17
Speaker 5: I was fishing on Cripple Creek.
13:18
Speaker 3: Where?
13:19
Speaker 5: Near the Big Bend.
13:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, go on.
13:21
Speaker 5: A man could buy and give me some money to
13:22
Speaker 5: bring this to you.
13:23
Speaker 3: What, did you know him?
13:25
Speaker 5: Never seen him before.
13:26
Speaker 3: You sure?
13:27
Speaker 5: Honest, Marshal, I ain't done nothing.
13:28
Speaker 3: All right, all right, you can go along, son.
13:31
Speaker 5: I was supposed to tell you there's a note in it.
13:33
Speaker 3: Yeah, thanks. Mr.
13:35
Speaker 5: Dillon, ain't that Miss Kitty's purse? Yeah. Is she all right?
13:43
Speaker 3: I don't know, Chester. The note says to bring dark.
13:46
Speaker 3: All right, go on. Get the horses. Oh, brother.
13:50
Speaker 5: Oh.
14:12
Speaker 3: The message. Hello, Doc.
14:14
Speaker 6: What are you doing out here?
14:16
Speaker 1: Nobody's lived on this place since old man Craig left
14:19
Speaker 1: five years ago.
14:20
Speaker 4: I'm not sure, Doc, but I'm hoping we'll find Kitty.
14:23
Speaker 3: Here? Yeah, here, read this note. It was brought to
14:25
Speaker 3: me in Kitty's purse.
14:27
Speaker 5: Yeah, let me see here. Come to old Craig place.
14:31
Speaker 6: Bring Doc.
14:33
Speaker 5: Well, what does it mean?
14:35
Speaker 3: I don't know, Doc.
14:36
Speaker 4: Somebody must have Kitty. That's all I know. Well, did
14:39
Speaker 4: you look around here? Of course I looked around.
14:41
Speaker 5: All right, all right. I was just wondering. Mr. Dillon,
14:45
Speaker 5: look younger.
14:47
Speaker 3: Now, that's Nort Small.
14:53
Speaker 1: Ah, hello there, Marshal. I see you got my message.
15:01
Speaker 1: Where did you take Kitty, Nort? Why, I rescued her
15:04
Speaker 1: from an awful wreck, Marshal Dillon.
15:06
Speaker 3: Where is she? Now, take it easy. She better be
15:08
Speaker 3: all right, sir.
15:10
Speaker 1: Well, now, I'm going to a lot of trouble about that, Marshal.
15:13
Speaker 6: I told you to bring Doc, didn't I?
15:15
Speaker 3: He can't do anything unless he sees her.
15:18
Speaker 6: Oh, I aim for him to see her. That's why
15:20
Speaker 6: I rode all this way.
15:22
Speaker 3: All right, let's go, then.
15:23
Speaker 6: Oh, not you, Marshal. Just the Doc. And on one condition.
15:27
Speaker 3: What's that?
15:28
Speaker 6: That you stay here, nice and quiet, until Doc comes back.
15:32
Speaker 3: Agreed?
15:35
Speaker 6: Well, now, the little lady's life depends on it.
15:39
Speaker 5: All right.
15:40
Speaker 3: Go on, Doc. Yeah, yeah. Sure, man.
15:43
Speaker 6: That's being smart, Marshal Dillon.
15:46
Speaker 3: Real smart.
15:47
Speaker 6: You better stay that way.
15:49
Speaker 3: He's been.
15:54
Speaker 2: Gone an awful long time, Mr.
15:57
Speaker 3: Dillon.
15:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
15:58
Speaker 5: Yeah. Couldn't we.
16:12
Speaker 3: Mr.
16:12
Speaker 1: Jones, we.
16:13
Speaker 5: Couldn't we have followed them?
16:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could have followed them. Sure do.
16:17
Speaker 1: Hey, just sitting around here while Miss Kay's laying there hurt.
16:20
Speaker 3: That's why we're sitting here.
16:22
Speaker 1: How's that?
16:23
Speaker 3: To keep her from getting hurt worse.
16:24
Speaker 5: Well... I guess you're right.
16:28
Speaker 3: I better be right. Here they come. Oh, there.
16:35
Speaker 5: There she is.
16:38
Speaker 3: Did you see her, Doc?
16:39
Speaker 4: I saw her, Matt.
16:41
Speaker 5: She's badly hurt. She didn't know me.
16:44
Speaker 6: Yeah, the doc says she's in a bad way. Needs
16:46
Speaker 6: a lot of taking care of.
16:47
Speaker 5: I want to take her back to town, Matt. She
16:49
Speaker 5: needs nursing.
16:50
Speaker 3: Why didn't you bring her with you?
16:51
Speaker 6: Why, you know why, Marshal.
16:54
Speaker 3: You tell me.
16:55
Speaker 6: Well, it's simple. I figure the doc can go right
16:57
Speaker 6: back to her.
16:58
Speaker 3: Back where?
17:00
Speaker 1: You're a smart man, but you ain't that smart. You
17:02
Speaker 1: ain't gonna find out where.
17:04
Speaker 3: All right, Doc goes back. It's all right with me.
17:06
Speaker 1: It's all right with me too, Marshal. Just as soon
17:09
Speaker 1: as you get back here from Dodge.
17:13
Speaker 3: Oh, I see. Sure you see.
17:16
Speaker 6: You bring Cleary here and Doc brings Kitty. It's a
17:19
Speaker 6: simple exchange, Marshal. You better do it, Matt.
17:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll do it. Sure you will, Marshal. I told you.
17:27
Speaker 6: You have your price just like anybody else.
17:31
Speaker 3: Yeah.
17:32
Speaker 4: Just be sure it isn't too high. All right, come on, Chester.
17:36
Speaker 4: We're riding back to town.
17:38
Speaker 2: What's the matter, Marshal?
17:55
Speaker 1: Might as well sit down and take it easy. Of course,
17:58
Speaker 1: I guess you can't blame him none for being nervous, clearly.
18:02
Speaker 1: Them big men all get nervous when they ain't got
18:05
Speaker 1: their guns. Sure is a lot of smart talk going
18:08
Speaker 1: on around here, ain't there, Mr. Dillon?
18:09
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it, Chester.

18:14
Speaker 3: Ain't that so, Norton?
18:16
Speaker 6: Well, now, Cleary, I don't know about that.
18:18
Speaker 1: If he behaves himself until the doc gets back with
18:21
Speaker 1: the woman, he might come off all right.
18:23
Speaker 3: Well, what are we waiting for?
18:24
Speaker 6: Why don't we just go now? Oh, no, we can't.
18:28
Speaker 6: We sort of made a bargain about it, Cleary.
18:31
Speaker 1: I figure we ought to show the marshal when the
18:33
Speaker 1: small boys make a deal, they keep their word. Well,
18:36
Speaker 1: that surprises me some. I've got a notion to fix you. No, no, no.

19:17
Speaker 3: Before we get out of here, I want you to

19:20
Speaker 5: That's it, Marshal. You fill our canteen.

20:01
Speaker 1: We ain't never had to pick on puny fellas like him.
20:05
Speaker 3: Sure not. Just a big one.
20:07
Speaker 1: Well, I'm plenty big for the likes of you. I
20:10
Speaker 1: ain't gonna hear much more talk.
20:11
Speaker 5: There ain't gonna be no more talk.
20:12
Speaker 4: Never mind, Chester.
20:13
Speaker 6: But, Mr.
20:13
Speaker 3: Dillon... I said never mind.
20:15
Speaker 6: That's right. Smart of you, Marshal.
20:19
Speaker 1: Now go put them canteens back on our saddle. Mr.
20:28
Speaker 5: Dillon, here they come.
20:30
Speaker 1: Yeah, I see.
20:33
Speaker 2: Them.
20:35
Speaker 1: You see, Marshal, when I make a deal, I stick
20:38
Speaker 1: to it.
20:41
Speaker 3: How is she, Doc? She's better, Matt. She'll make it.
20:46
Speaker 5: Matt?

Speaker 3: You're kidding.
20:48
Speaker 5: My purse. Doc says you have my purse.
20:52
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's back at the office.
20:54
Speaker 5: Don't. Don't lose anything out of it.
20:59
Speaker 3: You see, man?
21:00
Speaker 1: When a woman starts worrying about things like that, she's
21:03
Speaker 1: gonna be all right.
21:04
Speaker 3: Good. Well, that's fine, Doc. All right, take her on in, huh?
21:10
Speaker 5: All right.
21:16
Speaker 1: I guess we'll be on our way, too, Marshal.
21:19
Speaker 6: We got a long ride.
21:20
Speaker 3: Well, it'll seem long.
21:22
Speaker 1: Maybe you'll remember, Marshal, about a man and his price.
21:27
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think maybe we'll both remember.
21:30
Speaker 2: The End.
21:50
Speaker 1: Mr.
21:50
Speaker 5: Dillon?
21:51
Speaker 1: Uh-huh?

Speaker 5: I swear you just sticked in my craw.
21:55
Speaker 3: Oh, how's that?
21:56
Speaker 1: Well, you having to be so meek and nice and
21:58
Speaker 1: let them two fellows off scot-free.
22:00
Speaker 3: Don't worry about it.
22:01
Speaker 1: I ain't exactly worrying about it. I'd do anything to
22:03
Speaker 1: make sure Miss Kitty was all right.
22:05
Speaker 5: Uh-huh. But seeing them ride off bold as brass and.
22:08
Speaker 1: Seeing you even have to fill their canteens for them, well,
22:11
Speaker 1: it just don't set right, Mr.
22:12
Speaker 3: Dillon. It's not going to set right with them either, Chester.
22:16
Speaker 5: How's that?
22:17
Speaker 3: You know why old man Craig left this place?
22:21
Speaker 5: No, sir, I don't.
22:22
Speaker 4: Because that pond is full of bad water. His stock
22:25
Speaker 4: kept dying off on it.
22:27
Speaker 5: Mr. Dillon, you mean.
22:29
Speaker 3: It's a hot day, Chester.
22:31
Speaker 4: Swilling that water all day, they'll either be dead or
22:33
Speaker 4: sick enough to come along peaceable. We'll wait a day
22:37
Speaker 4: and then ride out and pick them up.
