Speaker 1 (00:05):
Around godd City and in the territory on the west,
there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and The Smell of
Guns Smoke, Gun Smoke, starring William Conrad, The Story of

(00:36):
the Violence that moves West with Young Ambariser, The Story
of a.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Man who moves with it.

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Matt Dylan, United States Marshall.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
He sure made himself scarce in a hurry, mister Dylon.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Yeah, it looks that way.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
The plaza seems pretty quiet. Maybe got the wind up
road right on out of town.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
You're giving him credit for too much since Chester.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yes, the only time that matter a bunch stops is
when somebody stops him.

Speaker 2 (01:26):
Here. Come on, let's take a look in the Texas trail.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
All right, fat coming wrong, kitty, I'm looking for Billy Maller.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
He's been around.

Speaker 6 (01:45):
Take a look at the mirror back of the bar.
He shot up half the town already and passed the
way out that he's gonna shoot up the rest of
it before midnight?

Speaker 2 (01:54):
When was he here half an hour ago? Math drunk?

Speaker 6 (01:58):
Mean, I can't stand here or his father? Maybe they
do own half a Texas but I hate him.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Well, they're Texans, Miss Kitty, and that means they've always.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Got to be past.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
I told them Miller's when I brought their cattle up
here last year, that they'd have to act civilized.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
Come on, Chester, sounded like it up at the west
end of the plaid.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Uh, it's probably the occidental. Oh just the second Marshall. Huh,
How what is that, mister Cooley? He bought those pistol shots.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Marshall, I recom it's young Billy Miller kicking up his heel. Well,
in about five minutes, he's going to be kicking him
up in jail.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
No, no, no, let's not be hasty, Marshall Dillon. We
have to think of the best interests of Dodge City
in the situation like this.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
Why those Mallards are mighty important people, you know, all
one of the biggest ranches in Texas always throw a
lot of money around.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Will they come up here with the herd?

Speaker 4 (02:54):
Well, as far as I'm concerned, he gets the same
treatment as any other drunken cowboy.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
I'm sorry, mister Coley. Now wait a minute. All you're
going to do is antagonize him.

Speaker 4 (03:04):
They'll turn their drives east from now, and they'll shift
their stock out of Haze City or Abelieve, and.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
You can't arrest Billy anyways.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
But he's got the gunman, Tom Wayne and thirty forty
Malarranch writers back to him. Look I like it with
you later. I got a job to do, Yilhen. You
can't do that, Chester, Let's go pick him up.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
That's him, all right, Michigan's standing there in the light.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, I see him once.

Speaker 3 (03:43):
He had dozen or more of his writings with him.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
Chester, you'll keep Tom Wayne covered. The rest of them
will wait for him to make the first move. I'll
take Philly inc. Mallerd, he.

Speaker 7 (04:07):
Hold on, Well, now what do we got here, local Marshal? Huh?

Speaker 2 (04:17):
Put the gun away, Mallard.

Speaker 7 (04:20):
Why don't you try to put it away for me? Marshall?

Speaker 3 (04:26):
All right, mister Wayne, you'll keep your hands still and
in plain sight.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
I said, put the gun away, belly.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
You're talking mighty big Marshall.

Speaker 3 (04:43):
The man with empty hands.

Speaker 7 (04:48):
At ten star yours makes a good target. I got
me a whole collection stars like that. That's fine enough.
You better hold it right where you are.

Speaker 4 (05:09):
I gave you two warnings. Believe, that's one morning I
usually give a man. Now, you hand over that gun.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
I told you to take it.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
If you think you.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
You've bend that gun barrel someday Marshall land it over
man's head that way.

Speaker 2 (05:31):
Don't worry about it, Wayne, as long as it's not
your head. I'm not worried. I would be, though, if
I was wearing that star yours. Why? Oh King Mally he.

Speaker 4 (05:45):
Don't like Badge told her as much, especially when they
buffalo the boy here. And he better leave the boy
at home when he brings our herd north? Does he
get away with this kind of behavior down there?

Speaker 2 (05:58):
He does? Well? Here, it's different. You can see for yourself.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
Maybe it ain't over yet either.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
You weren't figuring on drawing a hand where you wan.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
It's nothing to me, Marshall, not unless I get orders
from King and.

Speaker 2 (06:17):
He knows where he can find me. Yeah, I reckon
all right.

Speaker 4 (06:24):
The rest of you, man, you can stay up all night,
spend your money, do as you please, with one exception.
If any one of you posts a gun inside the
city limits of Dodge, you'll get the same treatment as.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Young Maller here? Is that clear? Let's go all right? Yes,
let's drag him over to the jail.

Speaker 4 (07:04):
There you are, it's still alright. Then you go, Billy,
I'm sure he is out cold. Well, it's better than
having a bullet in the stomach. That's what he was
asking for.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
He certainly was. I declare, mister donn if you don't
stop taking chances and a man's already got a gun
in his hand, that's.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
So you can't shoot every cowboy who has a snort
or two and starts to take it out on the town.
I know.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
But hand me that bucket of water there in the
corridor with him. Yes, alright, sleep has I how to
bring him around? All right? Chester? Lock up his cell
just minutes there, my show. Don't lock that cell. Lock

(07:52):
it up, Chester. Yes, I just told you to stop
the matter. Don't you hear me? I can probably hear
you a clear back in text. Now what's on your mind?

Speaker 4 (08:02):
I'll tell you what's on my mind. I want my
boy out of that sale, and I want him out
in a hurry.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Come around in the morning when the court opens. He's
under arrest. Rest you I can buy you in this
thirty cents down of yours. Never know the difference, maybe,
but we know it.

Speaker 8 (08:24):
Now.

Speaker 2 (08:24):
You shut up and get out of here. You'd about
this long enough either, you'll open that cellar. Hand over
the keys. I'm sorry, are you there? Come on?

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Hand them over here now, mister Mallaway.

Speaker 2 (08:35):
If you think some tim morren is going to leave
them alone, call Chester unlock herself. Can't you warning your
Marshalls for.

Oh where'd she come from? She's new and dodger, isn't she.

Speaker 6 (10:33):
Oh yeah, she's real, sweet man. She's a singer from
Chicago or somewhere. She got stranded here a couple of
days ago. She only plans to work a week.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
And mister Dylan, look, there's King Miller who at.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
The bar there?

Speaker 3 (10:47):
Mister Kelby, what's he doing out of jail?

Speaker 8 (10:49):
Man?

Speaker 3 (10:53):
My gracious, you arrest him in and try him in jail.
On the r and a half lady is out Lucy again.
It's aggravating, but.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I'm sure he isn't meaning the harm by, mister.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
It's just sometimes he's got well. Now, now, Marshall, let's
keep our temporal up. King, how did you get out
of jail?

Speaker 2 (11:14):
I've got anything to say to you, Dylan, I'll look
you up.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
Now now, Marshall, it's all perfectly legal. Mayor came down
to his office. He fixed vail and he released mister
Mallor and his son. They're both out. Who won't bail
for this coming now? It's all in the best interests
of the town.

Speaker 8 (11:32):
Marshall.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
It's like I've been telling mister Mallory here, it was
just a misunderstanding, and all of us hope he won't
hold it against it to run you in for obstructing Justice's.

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Somebody find from the street, mister Dylon.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I'll go out there. What is it kidding? Novel? Got hit?

Speaker 1 (11:56):
Now we will return for the second act of gun

(12:16):
Smoke in just a moment. But first, giving medical and
welfare assistance to our armed forces and veterans, collecting much
needed blood, training our citizens for service in case of
a national emergency, and always on the spot first with
disaster relief.

Speaker 2 (12:30):
These are some of the many services of the American
Red Cross.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
But this all costs money, eighty five million dollars this year,
So please answer the call give generously to the Red Cross.

Speaker 2 (12:42):
Now for the second act of gun smoke.

Speaker 6 (13:06):
Over here, Matt.

Speaker 4 (13:12):
All right, Kitty, it's all right, sorry boys, all right.

Speaker 6 (13:25):
Kitty, Yeah, let me slip this coat under her head.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
How does somebody sent for doctor?

Speaker 4 (13:37):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (13:37):
When the dealers went after them.

Speaker 4 (13:39):
Oh, I look normal.

Speaker 6 (13:42):
Don't try to move now.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Looks like she was hit twice.

Speaker 6 (13:47):
Matt, Do you think that you have a chance at all?

Speaker 2 (13:52):
I don't know, Kitty.

Speaker 6 (13:58):
It's all right, honey, Doctor be here soon.

Speaker 2 (14:02):
But why did they shoot me? I I think they
were trying to get me or not you? Why did
they do it?

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Why?

Speaker 7 (14:18):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Where's Doc? Why doesn't they get here?

Speaker 3 (14:21):
You want me to go after mister Dylan?

Speaker 5 (14:22):
Oh please?

Speaker 6 (14:25):
Why feels so?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
No chest? There's no need for doctor. Hurry now, m man.

Speaker 8 (14:44):
So so.

Speaker 2 (14:48):
Yeah, well Doc can take care of her when he
gets here.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Looks like Billy Mallor really pulls something this time, mister Bylan, No,
how do you know it was Billy Chester?

Speaker 2 (15:07):
Ya?

Speaker 5 (15:07):
See?

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Half dozen people saw him fire through the window and
then ride off down the street.

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yes, I got a feeling those shots weren't wild. They
were aimed only they were aimed at me.

Speaker 3 (15:19):
You were just lucky, you Sun.

Speaker 2 (15:22):
Where's Billy not Chester?

Speaker 3 (15:23):
And I don't know, sir. I heard the Maller bunch
is getting ready to pull out. They're milling around the
street out in front of their hotel. King Mallard and
Tom Wayne is there.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
Yeah, I allowed cover Billy. Of course, it's gonna be
a lot tougher this time.

Speaker 2 (15:40):
Yes, a whole lot tougher.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Well, you sort of take charge of things here until
Doc shows up. Oh sure, man, you go on get
your pussy pussey.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
They'll need one.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Then when you move in with a pusse you asked
for a gun fight works on a man like an
out and out challenge.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
I'm gonna handle it alone.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
There must be fifty up on that.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Only three that count.

Speaker 4 (16:05):
As long as we can control the Mallards and harm Wayne,
the others don't matter. Marshall, I'll Kelvy, you got another
suggestion for the best interests of the town. Now listen here.
You can't go up there, Marshall. That'll just lead the
more killing. Won't do anybody any good. This wouldn't have happened,
you know, if you're taking my advice not to him.

(16:26):
A boy in jail, and it wouldn't have happened if
you'd have stayed out of it and left him in jail,
Kelvy on tomorrow morning, he'd have sobered up and cold off.

Speaker 2 (16:34):
Well, what's done's done, but they're getting ready to leave.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
Now you can pass the word for King not to
bring the boy along when he comes up next year,
and let it go that don't make it any worse. Now, Marshall,
let it go at that. Don't antagonize him. Look the
other way. It's just Billy Maller kicking up his heels.
So let's stay real quiet.

Speaker 2 (16:56):
Maybe he won't commit another murder. Murdered, It wasn't murdered.
It was an accident. It was murder.

Speaker 4 (17:02):
He meant to kill somebody and he did. The only
accident about it was the fact that he didn't kill me. Oh,
just a common Dancehold, girl, nobody's gonna pay any mind.
I mind Kelby and the law minds, and you stay
out of this from now. And you understand me.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Now, Dylan, you're not talking to some saddle bum eh Chester. Yes, yeah, Kitty, I'm.

Speaker 6 (17:35):
Not gonna help to go get yourself killed.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
It seems to me I'm being sold off a shorter
around here.

Speaker 6 (17:41):
Stay outnumber you twenty to one, kitty.

Speaker 2 (17:44):
If I let Maller get away with this, I'd be
through in Dodge City. And so with the law.

Speaker 4 (17:48):
It was hard work bringing the law in here, and
it's been hard work keeping it here, and it'd be
ten times harder trying to bring it back if it
ever got shoved up.

Speaker 6 (17:58):
Yeah, alright, match, but do one thing, will you?

Speaker 8 (18:03):
What?

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Wait here?

Speaker 6 (18:04):
I'll be right there, give right, alright, here, take the
shotgun with you that keeps it back of the bottle.
You take it much, It'll help you out a little.

Speaker 3 (18:19):
At least it. It's a good idea, mister Gillan. I'm
sure feel a lot easier in my mind if you
took it you want.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Well, alright, thanks, Kitty, I'll see you.

Speaker 3 (18:51):
She was a pretty little thing.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, seems a shame.

Speaker 3 (19:03):
Yeah, the roy mister, be honest out there in the
street and find the hotel.

Speaker 2 (19:08):
Yeah, I see 'em. Looks like the.

Speaker 3 (19:12):
Whole Mallard marble.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
You ain't gonna be very easy. And the King and
Wayne are there, but I don't say Billy most I
don't either.

Speaker 4 (19:25):
Those two are the ones that watch Chester. Don't let
'em start at play, Yes, mister.

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Dylan, I understand.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Take here comes Marshall, mister Malley, say, King, I want
that boy of yours.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Let's see charge this time? Do let 'em murder that
girl died, and and she died. I watched Billy rigg.
You get the idea he had anything to do with
half a dozen people sell him fire the shots.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
From the street. Well, I say he was near that.
Don't say it to me, say it in court. Now
where is he, King Marshal? There's forty of my riders
standing here in the street, every one of them sucking
the gun.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
I suppose you just turn around, start walking. I said,
where's Billy?

Speaker 4 (20:31):
All I got to do is give the word Dylan.
The boys will drop you right in your track. You're
not giving anybody the word, King? Uhuh buck shots got
a pretty fair spread, not the first sign of any move.
But that's bunch, and I'll get you and Wayne with
one blast.

Speaker 2 (20:47):
Now you better warn him, King Dylan, you're barking up
the wrong tree.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Here.

Speaker 3 (20:55):
Billy rode out of town headed south.

Speaker 2 (20:59):
That' say his horse tie that the rail?

Speaker 8 (21:00):
Isn't it.

Speaker 2 (21:03):
All right? Where is the King inside the hotel? Now, look, Marshall,
there's no call for all this.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Maybe Billy did get a little bit out of line.
There's always been a high spirited youngon, but there's no.

Speaker 2 (21:14):
Reason for us to lose our heads.

Speaker 4 (21:18):
You know you got no case against every one of
my men here will swear he wasn't anywhere near that shoot.
They'll get that chance at the trial. Well, now that's
just the trouble. We can't hang around here waiting for
a trial. Cost me money, but I'm willing to spend
quite a.

Speaker 2 (21:36):
Bit, Marshal, to avoid the inconduce.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Never mind, King, don't be a fool more shut up, Wayne,
move over a little closer to him him.

Speaker 2 (21:50):
All right? That there right there?
