Guns smoked, brought to you by Chester Beale. Chester Beale packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed, thanks to Accuray. They satisfy the most. Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. During William Conrad, a transcribed story of the violence that moved West with young Americans, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. Sam, what do you have? I'm going out to Delmonico's for something to eat. But Marshall Dillon comes in time to wait, wouldn't you? I'll send him on to Delmonico. No, he's the wait here. It's Doc who's trying to find him. Oh. You look tired, Sam. I, too. I've been ten and a bar, but twelve hours steady. Well, what happened to the help you hired last night? He had the wrong idea, can he? I'm in business to sell whiskey, not give it away to anybody who needs a drink you can't pay for. Is that what he was doing? It was like caught him at it. Ah, look at it, Sam. Oh, Marshall? Matt, you ought to stay right here at the bar. What? I promised Doc if you came in, I'd keep your hair. He'd been looking all over town for you. I thought Doc was delivering a baby done on Salt Creek. Well, he got back about a half hour ago. Oh, what does he want me for? It's about some trouble with a man and his wife called Tebbs. Tebbs? I'm not worried to live with the baby, this was in a sod hot about a mile about the crossing. Ah, well, what about him? Here he comes. He'll tell you. Here he is, Doc. Oh, hi, Sir. You're a good girl, kid. Yes, you are. You're a good girl. I might never have found him. That's all this about these Tebbs people, Doc. Well, they're having trouble, Matt. Oh, what kind of trouble? Well, I stopped by to say hello and get a queen, isn't he? Well, you know. Oh, sir. But the woman, she didn't act like she wanted anybody around. And then I heard the man yell at me from inside. She tried to stop me, but I went in anyways. He was lying there in a bed, Matt, with a bad knife wound in his leg. Oh, yes. It's festering. It's giving him a fever and I don't think he can walk with it. Ah, did he say what happened? Well, he claimed it was an accident, but he was holding a six gun under that blanket. Oh, what for? For his wife. He scared it at the head. I think she knifed him, and I think she's waiting for a chance to finish him off. You better get down there, Matt. Maybe too late already. Just seeing one of the country's best-known jazz musicians and arrangers, Mr. Bobby Haggart. How about whistling along with him?

Chest to feel packs more pleasure, because chest to feel is more perfectly packed. To the touch, to the taste, Chesterfield packs more pleasure, because it's more perfectly packed by Chesterfield, mild, yet they satisfy the most. [Music] I recognize the table place, all right, Mr. Dylan? That's the way Doc described it, aren't I, Chesterfield? And quoting the wife out there, hoeing on the dirt. She's letting on, she don't see it. I didn't expect we'd be very welcome here. This way, does she find out you're a Marshal? I'm not going to tell her, Chester, not right off anyway. Hello, man. Hello. Ah, we were looking for a drink of water. Cricks over yonder, but you got a well over here. Water's no better in the creek. Okay, we'll use the creek, but first I'd like to talk to your husband. My husband, what about? Ah, just wanted to get acquainted. He ain't here. Ah, well, we go get a drink, then we'll come back and wait for it. No. Will you talk in two florries? Who's out there? Nobody. Now you stay quiet. He's feeling poorly, mister, I don't want nobody bothering him. Well, we want bothering him. You stay out of there, and then I'm coming to you. You better wait outside, just on here, see? That can't hold more than three people anyway. Hello. Oh, I knew I heard somebody. Your wife says that you're sick, Ted. I told you to leave him alone. I told you not to be troubling him. Well, I'm only being neighborly ma'am if you're sick, maybe I can help. So you're a neighbor, mister? Well, I'm a partner and I are part of the homestead nearby, as soon as we can decide on a good piece of land. No, you get it staked out, then you'll come see us, mister. Everything will be fine then. Uh, florries don't be that way. Me being sick and her having a doll of chores makes you kind of edgy, mister, and being up nights. That's what's hardest on her. I ain't complaining. Yeah, I know, florries, but I can tell. Mr. I got an idea. Said you wanted a hell. Sure, sure. Anything I can do. You willing to sit up with me tonight? No, Ben. Ah, you need some rest, florries. You see, I got a, I got a fever, mister. I get to tossing them with sleep. I throw off a blanket, all like that. You don't look like you've been sleeping at all. Huh. Would you do it, mister? Sit up with me? No. No, he ain't going to sit up with you. Oh, why not, ma'am? I don't mind. Because I ain't going to sleep in here with no stranger about that's why. Oh. Well, I didn't think she was-- Look, I'll tell you what, I'll spend the night on the ground outside, if you don't mind. We do mind. Lori, you're in acting like a wife. You're in acting like a wife, tall. You can stay, mister. Now, fine, good. Wait a minute, mister. Yeah, what? I'm just wondering if maybe tomorrow, if you'd be willing, I ought to get into dodge and see the dock. There's a wagon outside. No, you don't. Shut up. Oh, sure. We'll take you in, mister. I'll be glad to. [THEME MUSIC] We really going to drive him in the dock tomorrow, mister Dunne? Yeah, we're better. But why don't she want him to go? Now, I guess the dock was right, Chester. She put a knife on him, and now she's trying to finish him off. Well, if he's got a six gun under his blanket, why don't he just shoot her? That would take care of him, feed him. He's got more fever every day, and he can hardly walk anyway. Well, you sure can't last much longer, with him staying away, trying to keep an eye on her all the time? Yeah. Chester, I think I'm going to go in there and tell him who I am, and load him into a wagon tonight. This has gone on long enough. Rick, can you bear him, mister Dunne? Yeah. Where's your wife? She went around back, mister. Look, uh, tabs. I'm going to take you into Dodge tonight. You are? Oh, that'll be fine. Except for Florie. You want to tell me what's going on here? What do you mean? I'm not a homesteader, tabs on the US marshal. Huh? That's right. And I'm going to take you into Dodge, Florie, or no Florie. You need sleep, and you need care. Oh, well-- Now, you can tell me your story when you want to. No. There's no story. I just got hurt a little, is all. Look here, marshal. You've got to understand, Florie. She don't mean what she says. She gets all riled up over nothing. Well, you know how women are. What are you trying to say, tabs? Well, I'm fine right here. And Florie, she's a good nurse, marshal. You mean you don't want to go to Dodge? Of course. She'll be up and around a couple of days. Don't you worry about me. All right, but I'll be back. Pastor. Pastor. Get your hands up and turn around, marshal. She's got a shotgun with you, Dylan. And I'll use it, too. She was listening at the window. Now, my hands are up, Florie. I'm taking your gun. She got my gun, Dylan, if you don't. You're making a bad mistake, Florie. I won't have you, nor nobody else, Madeline, where you don't belong. Now, get your horses right out of here. All right, I will be back. I'm going to be set right by that door, marshal. First thing I see right here gets a load of buckshot. They won't be us, Florie. But we'll be close enough to hear if you do shoot somebody. Good night. I couldn't help it, Mr. Dylan. She come inching her inside of the hut. And I didn't even see that cusset chart done a little too late. Hand me the tonight. What we gonna do? There's nothing we can do tonight. But tomorrow and the day, well, we got our rifles. We'll think up some tricks for her. [MUSIC PLAYING] Where are you listening to gun smoke in your favorite easy chair or out driving? Oh, there you are in the kitchen. Say, do you want to make whatever you're doing more enjoyable? Have a Chesterfield. Enjoy Chesterfield's better taste and mildness. You see, Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed. A more perfectly packed cigarette gives you an open, easy draw that unlocks all the better taste and mildness of fine tobaccos. And Chesterfield, made by exclusive accuré, is more perfectly packed, with an even distribution of tobacco from one end of your Chesterfield to the other, firm and pleasing to the lips, mild, yet deeply satisfying. Remember to the touch, to the taste. Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed. By Chesterfield, mild, yet they satisfy the most. [MUSIC PLAYING] [THEME MUSIC] I don't hear her out in the ward, Mr. Dale. She must be inside the hot, Chester. Well, I hope she don't come charging out of there that shotgun, please. It would be a bad way to start the day, wouldn't it? I can't think of none worse, especially in an empty stomach. Yeah, there she is. Now, wait a minute, it's all right. She isn't armed. I'm not over here, Marshall. No, what's she up to? It's hard to say with a woman like that. Well, I thought you'd be back this morning. Yes, and I told you we wouldn't. We're going to take your husband and the Dodge, man. You're too late, Marshall. Too late. He died during the night. What? There's too much for his heart. He always did have a weak heart. Where is he, Florie? Lying there inside, Marshall. Why? Don't you believe me? I believe you, but I want to have a look at him. Hot four. I got him all wrapped up in his blanket, ready for burying. We'll go dig a grave for him if you want to help so much. All right, we'll dig a grave after I've seen him. You got no respect for the dead, Marshall? It's the living that bothers me right now, Florie. I'm going to have a look at him now, Florie. You're no better than a child, Marshall. You don't have to watch. I'll go ahead. I don't care. One button is shared here. All right, what did you use, Florie? Use? Or what? Madanoni couldn't stay awake forever. He fell asleep, and you stabbed him in the heart with a needle or something. That doesn't show much, does it? All right, I'll tell you. Don't matter now, anyway, I killed him. Why would you want to kill your husband, Florie? Husband, he wasn't my husband. He killed my husband, Marshall. We never seen him before. He rode by here and started trouble. Over me, it was. My husband pulled a knife, but he shot him. And I swore I'd kill him, and I did. I didn't you explain all this to Doc Adams when he was out here? Not of me last night. And let you take him and hang him? I had to kill him myself, Marshall. It's a promise I made my husband while he was dying. And I'm going to have to arrest you. You can't do nothing to me for this. You murdered a man, Florie. You're wrong, Marshall. You just admitted it. Well, I ain't doing no more, talking. You take care of him and we'll go into Dodge. But I won't be in jail long. You'll see. [MUSIC PLAYING] [SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC] Ah, good morning, Justin. Good morning, what you doing? What's up there? That's a male. Oh, did you pick it up? Yeah, I picked it up. I was down there anyway. How's Florie? She ain't said a word. Go get her, would you? Go good. What, Florie? She was right, Chester. I can't keep her in jail. But, Mr. Dunne, we just can't offer you. Don't go off and get it. That's it. All right, come on out, Florie. You turnin' me loose? Not me, Mr. Dunne. About time. Morning, Florie. Not much of a jail you got, Marshall. Well, it's not strong enough to hold you. Of course it ain't. Florie, the man you killed. You told me you've never seen him before. I never had. What was his name? George Bassett. What else did you know about him? He was wanted, dead or alive. He was wanted-- I got a circular on him and the male, Chester, is there on my desk. A circular? Well, forever more. How did you know he was wanted, Florie? He said so. Now, that's hard to believe. Now, he told me. When he was bothering me, before he killed my husband, he said one more wouldn't matter. I guess he planned to kill me, too, later. Only he hadn't figured on getting cut up. And he needed me after that. Yeah. Now, why didn't you tell me this out there, Florie? I didn't think you'd believe me, Marshall. Well, maybe you were right. I never heard of George Bassett before. You're heard of him now? Yeah. There's going to be some reward money coming, Florie. Marshall? Yeah, what? You say it. Say what, Florie? Oh, please. Oh. That you don't want the money, that you wouldn't take it. Thank you, Marshall. Thank you for saying it right. I feel some cleaner for that. Goodbye. Goodbye, Florie.
