In the town 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. Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved West with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it.

You and the cook go get them hides unloaded, Topo. I'll be right along. Yeah. All right, what do you want, Marshal? What happened to your Skinner? Billy, you hurt yourself, but don't. He's dead, isn't he?
