is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshall and The Smell of
Guns Smoke Gongs, starring William Conrad, the story of the

(00:43):
violence that moved west with young America and the story
of a man who moved with it. I'm that man,
matt dllon United States Marshall, the first man they look
for and the less they want to meet. It's a
chancery job, and it makes a man worse and a
little lonely.

Speaker 1 (05:18):

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Howe hee.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Let's go.

Speaker 1 (06:10):
Another visit with Joe and Daphne.

Speaker 8 (06:12):
Foreside overhead the moon is ba hold of Daphne.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Hold it?

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Oh hi, Joe, just run, honey.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
I'm trying out to be operative.

Speaker 8 (06:24):
As what a singer.

Speaker 4 (06:26):
You could have fooled me.

Speaker 8 (06:27):
I was just practicing one of the songs.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
Well, I don't think you quite fit the role.

Speaker 8 (06:31):
Why not?

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Well at this version of the student prince is like
the version I know that particular number is sung by
a tenor.

Speaker 8 (06:39):
Oh, not that you don't come close.

Speaker 7 (06:41):
But I think you better stick to being a housewife.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
But I want to be a singer.

Speaker 7 (06:45):
Daphne, Honey, a singer you'll never be.

Speaker 9 (06:48):
I could take lessons, got.

Speaker 7 (06:50):
But lessons costs money. Money better invested for lessons savings.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
Bon you and your old savings bond.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
I can't help it, honey, I just can't get over
the way those savings bonds pay off four dollars for
every three That's what I call an investment.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
What good do they do me?

Speaker 5 (07:07):
Now?

Speaker 1 (07:07):
A lot?

Speaker 7 (07:08):
The money we put in those bonds every pay day
helps keep America strong and protects you and me. No
bonds may be no Operetta, ever think of that.

Speaker 1 (07:18):
I still want to be a singer.

Speaker 7 (07:20):
Well, when those bonds start bringing in the green, if
you still want to sing, you'll pay for the lessons
and more.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
Good.

Speaker 9 (07:27):
Gee, if those bonds be sure as fast as you say,
I bet to start practicing now, just.

Speaker 1 (07:31):
So that i'll be ready overhead.

Speaker 7 (07:34):
The moon is b Daphne, Daphne, did anyone ever tell
you you have a bad voice?
