Speaker 6 (03:55):
This girl wrote her mother in Philadelphia that she was
teaching school here, Marshall. However, she's never heard of at
the school.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Maybe she's moved on somewhere, but.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
They say she was never at the school. I'm afraid
something's happened to her.
Speaker 7 (04:06):
A lot of things can happen to people out here.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
That's precisely why I've come to you. I want you
to find her immediately.

Yeah, there's a man here looking for you. His name
is Philip.
Speaker 5 (05:51):
Locke, Philip m and Dodge don't know.
Speaker 7 (05:55):
I figured it might be bad news.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
I can't have him find me here.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Well, he went to this schoolhouse first, and then I
told him you'd probably moved on. But uh, he still
thinks you're here somewhere, I wrote.
Speaker 5 (06:07):
Mother, I was teaching school. He must have gone to
see her.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
If you don't wanna see him, honey, you don't have
I can't see him.
Speaker 5 (06:13):
I can't have him.
Speaker 4 (06:14):

I work in a a saloon.
Speaker 10 (06:17):
It's not gonna be ashamed of I know, But.
Speaker 11 (06:21):
Well is he I I was engaged to Philip once
before I left Philadelphia. We were about to be married
when his family found out that my father.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Had been a riverboat captain. I should have told him before,
I guess.
Speaker 11 (06:37):
But well, anyway, they called off the wedding and I
was so ashamed I ran away came out here.
Speaker 5 (06:44):
Finally.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
What about Philip?
Speaker 5 (06:46):
What'd he do?
Speaker 7 (06:47):
Hm?
Speaker 11 (06:48):
The locks or very aristocratic family, kitty. I guess he
had to do what they wanted.
Speaker 10 (06:56):
Not much of a man, if you ask me, aristocrat
or not.
Speaker 11 (07:00):
I was in love with him, and I think he
was with me.
Speaker 5 (07:06):
Are you still? I don't know? How can I know?
But he mustn't find me here.
Speaker 11 (07:14):
This is exactly the sort of life they said I
was best suited for.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
His mother herself.
Speaker 10 (07:20):
Told me so, I have no nicer people than that
on canal boat.
Speaker 11 (07:23):
I've got a hide somewhere. He'll go back and tell
my mother and it just break her heart.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
I just can't face.
Speaker 10 (07:30):
Any of it.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Uh. Look, Laura, why don't you go out to mar
Riley's until he leaves.
Speaker 7 (07:35):
Tom Huh, she'll be glad for a little company.
Speaker 10 (07:37):
That's a wonderful idea. Matt, come on, honey, I'll take
out myself. It's only a few miles.
Speaker 5 (07:42):
Are you very kind?
Speaker 10 (07:43):
You might kind of spook him back to Philadelphia.
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Matt, I'll try a kidding.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (08:04):
Ah, that's mighty warm beer for a nickel.
Speaker 7 (08:10):
I paid for that beer, Doc.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
I know, and I thank you for a Chester. But
I hate to see you not get your money's word.
Speaker 7 (08:17):
Oh, we'll get it.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
When you decide it's time to buy us a beer.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Wow, bye, I'll buy It's almost time, Doc shere.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
It's a good fact.
Speaker 10 (08:26):
Oh tell me, Matt, is Laura still out.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
At the Iley Place?
Speaker 2 (08:30):
You're shying away from the problem.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
Not anyway, she's there.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Lorcke isn't likely to leave Tom this soon.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I saw him last night and I told him i'd
heard Laura had gone to Denver.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Did he believe you?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
I don't think so, But I warn't Sam to tell
him the same thing in case he came snooping around here. Uh.
Speaker 12 (08:49):
Oh, it's a sad story, poor girl.
Speaker 10 (08:53):
Well she better.
Speaker 9 (08:54):
Off without liking him.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
Ask me, women are strange, Sester they fall in love,
And I said, I sometimes wonder if it has anything
at all to.
Speaker 12 (09:03):
Do with a particular man.
Speaker 6 (09:04):
Why, of course it has, Doc, I remember what a
little Kyle girl told me once. She said Chester.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
She said, I didn't know you spoke Kyle with Chester.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
Well, I don't exactly. We use the kind of a
sign language, you know, and I can guess.
Speaker 13 (09:20):
Uh uh oh, I.
Speaker 7 (09:21):
Think who's this.
Speaker 6 (09:24):
Marshall Dyllon?
Speaker 7 (09:26):
Uh Hello, Lorc.
Speaker 6 (09:27):
I wanna talk to you.
Speaker 7 (09:27):
Marshall.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
H you've met Chester here and this is Doc Adams
fellow lock.
Speaker 6 (09:33):
And how do you do Marshall? I think you lied
to me about Laura?
Speaker 5 (09:39):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (09:39):
Is that so?
Speaker 6 (09:40):
Most certainly is There's something mighty strange going on here
and I think you're mixed.
Speaker 7 (09:44):
Up in it. Luck, maybe Laura doesn't want to see you.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
If you thought of that, I'm going to see her
if I have to kill you to do it, kill
me mystery. You ain't even wearing I don't have to.
What do you mean I've hired a man who should anybody?
I say, for five hundred dollars.
Speaker 7 (10:08):
H Philadelphia must be quite a town.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
You haven't till this time tomorrow to produce a Marshall.
And remember I'm a man of my word.
Speaker 7 (10:16):
Yeah, yeah, I'm sure you are.
Speaker 6 (10:22):
Where all the nimbi nambies.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
He's probably one of those who hired someone to fight
in the war for him, Doc, it's all he knows.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Look, mister Dillon, he's talking to Pete Noonan at the
bar there.
Speaker 7 (10:34):
Pete Neuman is that his gunman? It looks like it.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Of all the evil, no good, drunken, crooked, he ain't
even much of a gunman.
Speaker 6 (10:44):
I always took Pete Neman to be a little off
in the head.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
He is doc.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
You never know what Nunan might do. He isn't like
other men. That's what makes him really dangerous.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Mother, It does your heart good, I know when your
young folks eat all of their breakfast cereal. That's why
I'm so happy to tell you about new sugar Crinkles.
Sugar crinkles, you know, is the sugar rice creep. That's
just right, sweet crisp, golden nuggets of sugar coated rice.
They make breakfast more fun than a circus. Why young
folks love sugar crinkles so much. They disappear like magic.
(11:44):
Now you've had experience with sugar coated cereals that seem
too sweet to you and others that just don't seem
sweet enough to the youngsters. Well, what a wonderful surprise
sugar crinkles will be to your whole family. For new
sugar crinkles really are just right sweet. Remember sugar crinkles
make great snacks too. Better get several packages.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Oh your breakfast, do a snack?
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You look Suggart Crank sugar crinkles.
Speaker 12 (12:14):
Cat Bee Beep sugar rice peet just bright sweet.
Speaker 5 (12:17):
With milk for the breakfast.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Joy as a fact from the pack off board, Caty
be just right sweet sugar crinkles.
Speaker 7 (12:24):
Gone to eat.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Now back to gun smoke.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
When Philip Block first hit Dods looking for Laura, I
didn't think he caused any real trouble. I felt sorry
for her, of course, but I wasn't hired to subtle
love affairs, good or bad. And it wasn't until he
hired Pete Nonan for a gunman that I began to
get worried. Nonan was off in the head and about
(13:09):
as predictable as a local steer. With him around, it
made for a bad situation, but there was nothing I
could do except.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
Wait and see what happened.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Locke had given me twenty four hours to produce Laura.
He was getting close to the deadline when I went
over to the Texas trailer.
Speaker 10 (13:28):
I saw this morning Matt that she didn't say much
about anything poor cat.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Well, she can't stay there forever, and Locke hasn't shown
any signs of leaving. Maybe she ought to go on
to Pueblo or Santa Fe or something.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
Give her time, man.
Speaker 7 (13:40):
Yeah, sure, man, I got nothing to do with it. Kiddy,
You too, Marshall? What is it? Sam?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Well?
Speaker 7 (13:48):
Not back, both of you? What for? You'll see? I
ain't got to go take care.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Of the bar.
Speaker 10 (13:54):
Sam must be drunk.
Speaker 7 (13:56):
Oh he's sober.
Speaker 10 (13:57):
Come on, let's have a look, all right, I still
say is drunk.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Sam doesn't drink his own liquor.
Speaker 10 (14:03):
I don't blame him. I wish I didn't have to.
Speaker 7 (14:06):
You don't.
Speaker 10 (14:08):
I wouldn't if I lived on a little lant somewhere now,
have chickens and things.
Speaker 7 (14:14):
Uh, Sam's liquor isn't that bad? Kidding? Laura?
Speaker 10 (14:19):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 5 (14:20):
I made up my mind?
Speaker 11 (14:22):
Hello, Marshall, Laura, I didn't want to go inside just yet.
So I and sitting out here talking to Sam.
Speaker 10 (14:28):
You mean you're coming back to work.
Speaker 11 (14:29):
I've been thinking a lot about everything, and I'm gonna
face it out no matter what anybody says.
Speaker 10 (14:35):
Are you sure you're right?
Speaker 5 (14:36):
Honey? There isn't any other way to do it. Philip
came here because he wants me back, and I won't
lie to him. Well, I guess it's up to you.
Speaker 10 (14:45):
What do you wanna talk to him?
Speaker 7 (14:46):
Marshall?
Speaker 5 (14:48):
Would you find him and bring him here?
Speaker 7 (14:50):
Out here?
Speaker 5 (14:50):
No, just take him to the bar inside. Don't meet
him there.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It's a curious place to meet him, Sam, bring us
a drink.
Speaker 7 (15:12):
Huh, you're a Marshall. We'll wait here. She'll be along.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Well, Laura always was rather different.
Speaker 7 (15:20):
Here you are, gentlemen. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Good evening, Marshall.
Speaker 6 (15:28):
Laura, Hello Philip, Laura, that dress.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Like it?
Speaker 7 (15:37):
What are you doing here?
Speaker 5 (15:39):
If you'll buy me a drink, Philip, I'll.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Tell you a drink.
Speaker 5 (15:42):
Of course. This is how I earn my.
Speaker 7 (15:45):
Living, Philip, you work here?
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Yes, now, would you buy me a drink to start with?
Speaker 6 (15:57):
No?
Speaker 7 (15:58):
No?
Speaker 3 (15:59):
No, oh, no mind him, Laurie, You don't mean nothing.
Speaker 7 (16:07):
He'll get used to it.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Oh no, it's just like what his mother said about me.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
It's true Philadelphia. Well what do they know in Philadelphia's
lace on their hands?
Speaker 7 (16:23):
There? Laura, Hey, I have a drinker.
Speaker 5 (16:29):
Thanks Marshall, I need it.
Speaker 3 (16:35):
Yeah, Now, why don't you go home. Huh, I'll get
Kitty to.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
Take you alright.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Wait, Laura, yes, Philip, Laura.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
I can't leave. I started to, but I can't. I
came to find you and I'm going to take you
back to me. You are, yes, this is quite a
shock to me, of course, seeing you here in this place.
Speaker 7 (17:04):
But I can forget about that.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
I'll try, Laura, will you, Philip? Yes, I promise, and
we'll never mention it ever to your family, you mean,
to anyone.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
It'll be a secret.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
It will always nobody knows.
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Perhaps it won't matter.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
I'm not sure, Philip. I think it will always matter
to me.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
I don't understand.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
You wouldn't understand, mischief, Laura. Let's get out of here
while we can talk. No, what you heard her?
Speaker 5 (17:46):
You don't want to go?
Speaker 6 (17:47):
Will you keep out of this by?
Speaker 8 (17:48):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (17:48):
You won't. Kind of a man, are you? Anyways?
Speaker 3 (17:51):
This little girl's done nothing to be ashamed of except
earn her living, which is probably more than you've ever done.
What makes you think you're good enough to judge her anyway?
Speaker 7 (18:00):
Son?
Speaker 5 (18:00):
Not?
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You will try to forget about it. You ever think
of anybody but yourself? You're no good mister, Laurie ears
Worth a hundred like you.
Speaker 7 (18:08):
I'm proud of her.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I don't care what she's done or who knows it.
Speaker 7 (18:11):
You're proud of me, Corse, I am.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
I won't hear any more of this. Are you coming, Laura?
Speaker 7 (18:16):
Oh? Tell him, Laurie, go and tell him.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Well, no, Philip, I'm not coming. I'm gonna stay here.
Speaker 7 (18:27):
Mister.
Speaker 6 (18:28):
You heard her, Now get out, or I break the
bottle over your head.
Speaker 7 (18:34):
Goodbye, Laura, and you bartender, you'll die for this. Don't
try that, Locke. Keep Noonan out of this.
Speaker 6 (18:43):
Nobody tells me what to do, Marshall.
Speaker 7 (18:47):
What's Newman got to do with this? Locke's hired, Noonan's gun.
Speaker 5 (18:53):
Oh no, well you'll kill you, Sam.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
That Noonan is crazy enough to Yeah he is, samm Dylan, Yeah,

Speaker 6 (19:20):
Because he's coming to right up front street?
Speaker 7 (19:22):
Nolan, Yes, sir, he's alone now.
Speaker 3 (19:25):
I figured he would be all right Chester after he comes.
Keep an eye on the door.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Huh, Sam, what have you have? Marshall? No one will
be here in a minute. Get out of sight. I
am afraid of him. You heard me, I get out
of sight.
Speaker 12 (19:43):
Okay, Marshall, I come for Sam Worthy.
Speaker 7 (20:03):
What do you want him for? No him?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
I've been paid to shoot him, that's what for?
Speaker 7 (20:10):
You want to hang on him?
Speaker 9 (20:13):
I was born to hang.
Speaker 7 (20:16):
Worsy.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Look, I'm gonna throw you in jail for a couple
of days. Maybe things will be clearer to you than
come on.
Speaker 7 (20:23):
No man shall.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Under that.
Speaker 12 (20:27):
I gotta earn my five hundred dollars.
Speaker 7 (20:31):
All right, but you'll have to shoot it out with
me first.
Speaker 13 (20:36):
With you?
Speaker 7 (20:38):
What you gotta do with it?
Speaker 1 (20:39):
I I want nothing to do with you.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
Is a law against murderer on him? I know that.
And what makes you think you can shoot Sam and
get away with it?
Speaker 5 (20:46):
Well?
Speaker 13 (20:46):
I got five hundred dollars right here in my pocket.
Speaker 7 (20:50):
I wanna see it.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Look, Nolan, see if you can understand this, Either you
take your money and you get out of dodge, or
you're going to jail.
Speaker 13 (21:00):
I ain't going to jail. You want to draw on me,
I'm no fool, all right, don't get out.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Fast? I go on.
Speaker 12 (21:19):
Oh you don't leave him man much choice, Marshall. I
guess I'll have to go.
Speaker 13 (21:31):
Bye.
Speaker 5 (21:32):
So on.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
You sure got rid of him, Marshall, and I hope so.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
But he wouldn't have had much of a chance at
you anyway. We look at Laura, though, I.
Speaker 5 (21:50):
Wouldn't have missed Sam even if he had got the Marshal.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Well, Laurie, where'd you get that shot?
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Be yours? The one you keep upstairs? I borrowed.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
There's blood in this girl, Sam. Do you ever tell
you her father was a river boat captain? Marshall, I'm
closing bar. You have to do drinking somewhere else tonight.
It will be a pleasure.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
Come on, Laurie, I want to hear more about your
old man.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Sure saying sure?
Speaker 1 (22:41):

adventure on gun smoke. You know what you are tomorrow
