Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's where the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. The story of the violence that moved West with young America, 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 that it makes a man watchful at a little lonely. When the Civil War began in 1861, there was no special services and the Chaplin's Corps was in its infancy. The serviceman, sick or well in the field or in the hospital, was left to his own devices during his free time. Then the YMCA's United States Christian Commission was organized with the approval and support of President Lincoln. Some 5,000 volunteers, men and women, gave spiritual moral and medical relief to soldiers and sailors of both sides as well as prisoners of war. Six million dollars were raised to furnish supplies and do the work. They saved the lives of hundreds of fighting men and gave themselves untiringly. Today, along with the Civil War's 100th observance, the Armed Services Department of the YMCA is observing its centennial. Through the years it has continued to serve our armed forces in this country and overseas. We salute the YMCA on the 100th anniversary of this work and for its services to young people of all races and creeds around the world. I don't think I like dodge too much, Andy. It kind of scares me. Well, it ain't a bad town, Millie. Sides will only be here long enough to get the old wagon sold. Well, that's the delivery table, isn't it? Yeah. Oh, there. This shouldn't take very long. Hello? Hello, stranger. You run this table? I own it. More screaming. Well, I'm Andy Cole. I hadn't mind selling my wagon. Oh, I was told you might buy it. It's a good wagon. A little old, maybe. You must be kind of broke. We just moved into a shack down by the Ark, Kansas, and we're looking to get a start somehow. We need a little eating money till I find a job. I'll sell the wagon cheap, Mr. Grimmie. Well, maybe I can help you out. Let's have a look. What's that? What's up with spoofed that team? They're running wild. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Pull up. Millie. Millie. Are you hurt? I know. Are you sure? Let me help you down. Here, here, here. Second up, Thomas. What's with the job? Who was that man driving the team? Ed Fallon. He runs a freight line here. Now, Andy, don't start trouble. The woman's all right. Can't you handle the mules, mister? Now, Andy, you do that on purpose. Of course I didn't do it on purpose. Some drunk come out of the saloon and spoke to him. I feel terrible about him. Well, you ought to feel terrible. You nearly killed her. You don't. You've got a bad temper, ain't you? You just bet I have. Oh, so have I when I get arrived. I'll fix you good with this. I'm waiting. Andy, stop it. Next time you better be wearing a gun, mister. Oh, now you're threatening me with a gun. No, he isn't. And you're not going to start wearing one, eat, Andy. Oh, we'll see about that. Hello, Marshall. Chester, it's a good thing you come. This man threatened to come after me with a gun. He smashed into my wife with his wagon. He didn't do it on purpose. I wonder he didn't kill you. He didn't kill me, though. I'm not even hurt. There's no cause for all this trouble. He shouldn't be driving mules if he can't handle it. What happened, Fallon? Ah, cowboy spooked my team when they run off. I couldn't help it. Are you sure ain't done their wagon much good? We were going to sell it, too. Well, I'll tell you what, I'll pay for it. What's it worth? Never mind about that. We're 20 dollars coming. I ain't asking for money. I'll take it. We need that money. Why, sure. Sure. Here we are, man. Thank you. You're, uh, pretty broke, are you? We're broke, all right. Maybe I can help you out. I'll give your husband a job starting tomorrow. Andy, you're here? Yeah. Yeah, I hear and I don't like it. Why should he offer me a job? It don't make sense. My grace, Mr. Fallon is just trying to be nice to you. Looks to me like you could use a job. She's right, Andy. All right. All right, I'll try your job, Mr. Fallon, but probably not for the long. You sure don't make it easy. Anyway, my office is right over there. I'll see you in the morning. And, uh, good day, man. Good day, Mr. Fallon. Why, you see? We're not fine, Andy. It's older wagon and you got a job. Yeah. But I don't like that man, many. You got quite a temper, son. Why don't you just relax and take your wife on home? Yeah. Sure. Come on, man. Goodness me, Troy, you're the hot heading. Yeah, and a temper like that can cause a lot of trouble, especially with a wife, that pretty... [MUSIC] Oh, Mr. Fallon. Ms. Cole, I had to ride out the country today and just stop by your place to see how things are going. Well, that's very kind of you. I mean, you looked like you thought maybe it was a bandit riding up. Well, I didn't know. No, I just wanted to be sure Andy wasn't home playing hooky while I was gone. Andy wouldn't do a thing like that. No, I was just joking. He's there on the job all right, I'm sure that. He's got three freight wagons get loaded by noon. Andy, the hard worker. You're going to be real pleased you hired him, Mr. Fallon. Yeah, you just call me Ed. We're friends again. Right, yes, of course. I mean, how about inviting me in for a cup of coffee? Well, I'm not sure that would be proper. No, they ain't nobody around. They ain't nobody to even know. Well, I... Millie, that job I give Andy, I'm paying him a dollar a day more than it's worth. I know. Well, I ain't sure if it used a cup of coffee. All right, Mr. Fallon. I'll make you a cup of coffee. Now, that's right, neighbor of you, Millie. I like that just fine. Hello, Millie. Wendy, I didn't hear you ride up. No. What are you looking for? There's been somebody here. What? Well, maybe he was still around. I don't know what you're talking about. I've seen tracks outside boot marks. Well, they're yours. No, they ain't mine. I don't wear Spanish heels. Now, who was here, Millie? Nobody was here. What's got into you anyway? Now, don't you lie to me. You've never lied to me. And I'm not lying now. Andy, you've been drinking. I never drank and you know it. Who was here today, Millie? Nobody. Nobody was here. Now, I won't stand for this, Andy. I won't stand for this. Where are you going? Andy, Andy, put that gun back. Put it back, you're here. You're covering up something, Millie. I'll find out who it is. Then I'll put the gun back. Not before. There you are, Mac. Thanks, Kenny. You know, that's better beer than we've been getting later. Yeah, I think it is. Maybe I ought to start charging more for it. Uh, the second thought. Kind of flat, isn't it? You're a hard man, Mac. Hey, how's Andy cool getting along in his job to film? I don't know, Kenny. I saw Andy today. He was wearing a gun. Well, it doesn't exactly make him stand out around here, does it? Alice, the first time I've seen him wear one since he arrived in town. Oh? Yeah, I ask him about it. He told me some man was visiting his wife yesterday. She wouldn't tell him who it was. I tried to talk to him, but it didn't do any good. Never does in a case like that. Evening, Mac. Kitty? No, Doc. No, sit down, Doc. I'll find a beer. Oh, I'd like that. Sam, bring Doc a beer, will you? Yes, Miss Kitty. You too look mighty cool. Something wrong? I was just talking about Andy Cole. Andy Cole, I met his wife today. Nice girl. Where'd you meet her? In town? No, I was driving by their shack by the river. So I stopped him sitting low. So you're the one? Yeah, right? Nothing. Well, what were you saying about Andy? Well, Mac's worried about him. Andy's wearing a gun today for the first time. What for? He suspects somebody's been visiting his wife. Maybe he's after me then. This isn't a joke, Doc. Well, no, I guess it is. Andy's a good boy, but he's awful hot at it. You know, this morning I made Millie Cole promise. But I think maybe I should break it. What are you talking about? She gave me a note to deliver. Ask me not to tell anyone about it. It was for Ed and Fallon. Fallon? Did you give it to him? Yeah. Just know to him. He's standing right down there at the end of the bar. Oh, yeah. You know what was in the note? No, she didn't say. Just that it had something to do with business. That's what she told you. Yeah. Well, you think it was something more? I don't know, Doc. But if Millie wrote a note to Fallon, it could be he's the one. I'll be back. Fallon? Yeah. Oh, Marshall. It's on your mind. I ought to talk to you about Millie Cole. What? Have you been seeing her? What business are you yours with I do more? Try to stop a killing, Fallon. I thought you might want to help. I believe in law and order. You know that. And keep away from Millie Cole. Now look. More handy's wearing a gun, Fallon. You saw him. If you have been seeing his wife and he finds out he'll kill you. You seem to know a lot about this, Marshall. Not to know that you've got a note from her today. That note had to do with business. Whatever it was, I'm just warning you. Say away from her. Well, what'd you find out, Millie? I can't put him down. You tell him about the note? Mm-hmm. Well, you'd never own up to it anyway. Well, I gotta make sure before Andy finds out. Why are you gonna do that? Go out tomorrow and talk to Millie Cole. Face her with it. Hope she tells the truth. [Music] I learned to jump double dutch today. It's fun. What Susan is double dutch? That's jumping with two ropes at a time. Anyone knows that. Uh-huh. Thank you. Susan is one of the lucky ones. One of the healthy, normal children we all give thanks for. She can run and skate and even jump double dutch. But there are over 250,000 other children in the United States who can't. They have cerebral palsy. They will never take part in active sports. Maybe not even walk, but they can be helped. Through therapy and through special training, many cerebral palsy learned to live satisfactory and useful lines. There are 344 local affiliates of United Cerebral Palsy who support the hundreds of programs in hospitals, clinics, and special schools that are so needed. United Cerebral Palsy asks you to help. Contribute to the 53-minute march on Cerebral Palsy. Do it today. More coffee? No thanks, my late. Marshall, I don't know what makes you think Mr. Fallon has been visiting me. And he's wearing a gun, my late. And he means to use it. I know. Was it Fallon? Nobody's been out here except you and Doc Adams. Andy doesn't believe that. You? No. Marshall, it's true. What's the matter with you and men? Did you take a woman's word for anything? Andy? No. Marshall, do it. You're about the last man I would have suspected, Marshall. Andy, wait. Stay out of this, Millie. You just keep your hands where they are, Marshall. Am I going to mistake Andy? You've already made yours and it was a bad one, a real bad one. Now you listen to me. I'll kill you, Marshall. I swear I will. Andy, it wasn't a Marshall. No. Andy, I think it was Fallon. Fallon? They came out here to prove it if I could. How were you going to do that? I'd play some Millie whether she's a poor liar, Andy. Was it Fallon, Millie? It wasn't anybody out here. You're lying. It was Fallon. Who else would it be? Sure, the whole thing figures out easy. No, wait a minute, Andy. I know you're trying to stop a shooting, Marshall, but it won't do no good. I'll kill Fallon on site. Not while I'm around you. Once you're going to go back to Dodge with me, Andy, and we'll have this up there and without gunplay, now let's go. Don't worry, Millie. It's going to be all right. Andy. Andy. Andy. It's me all right. I'm surprised. We're both here. Andy and the Marshall. Yeah, I've seen them. I've been waiting for them to leave. How long you been here? Long enough to see Andy ride up. He knows it was you. He knows you've been visiting me. The Marshall told him. The Marshall told him. What kind of a lie is that? It's true. You told him, Millie. Nobody else could have. You got me in a fine mess now, ain't you? I wish I had told him. I wish I had. No, no, better than the rest of them. prettier, that's all. You get out of here. Not quite yet. First, I'm going to teach you a lesson. I'm going to teach you to keep your mouth shut. Get out of here. Like I said, not quite yet. I ain't so found around how old he was doing. You may be here in a softie. He better be. Well, Andy, where have you been? I looked everywhere for you. Where's Fallon Jenkins? I don't know. Take a look out back, Chester. Maybe you wouldn't mind telling me what's going on here, Marshall. Like Andy said, we're looking for Fallon. Well, Fallon's going to be looking for him. He finds out Andy's been loafing on the job. Fallon's paying Andy too much money as it is. Not for long, he ain't. You're getting a dollar a day more than you're worth, Andy. Those idea was that Jenkins to pay him that money. They wasn't mine. I'm only the clerk here. Besides, I don't have no reason for it, do I? But Fallon does, huh? Ain't nobody back there, Mr. Jones. All right, where is he, Jenkins? You sure you want me to tell you, Marshall? Did he go out to Andy's place? He was looking kind of worried after talking to you last night. And then he is out there. He sure is, and you're looking mighty stupid, son. Running all over the country while Fallon's out there courting your wife, having herself a fine time. Why, you... Come on, Andy, don't waste your time. Let's go. Andy, no horse. He's here, he must come foot. I just got a feeling that there's something wrong. Andy. Millie. Millie, what happens to you? What happened? Are you hurt? I'm all right. Fallon, where's Fallon? He's here. I know it. Now, where is he, Millie? In there, in the house. Fallon, he got shot. Who did it, Fallon? Who shot you? Millie? Millie? I tried to beat her. She shot me. He... I ain't doing so good. You better go on out to Millie. Millie? Millie, I was wrong not trusting you. Why didn't you tell me that first day? I didn't want any trouble, Andy. But I was wrong, too. I'm not telling you. Well, the trouble is all over now. I was going to the river to wash, and I heard you ride out. Come on. I'll go with you.
