The Marshal Rides Unarmed
Aired: Jul 5th, 1952. When two rowdy Texas cowboys harass Kitty and the women of Dodge City, easygoing deputy Chester Proudfoot steps in to calm things down — and pays for it, dragged behind a horse and left for dead. A shaken Matt Dillon makes an extraordinary vow: he'll ride out after the men who did it, but without his guns, determined to bring them back alive rather than gun them down in anger. It's a tense meditation on restraint, guilt, and justice from one of radio's most morally serious westerns.
