Transcript

in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's where the U.S. Marshall and the smell of 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.

I'm that man, Matt Dillon, the United States Marshall, the first man they looked for and the last they want to meet. It's a chance, a job, and it makes a man watchful. And a little lonely.

Oh, huh? Marcia Gillian? Yeah. Wow. Morning, sir. How have you been? Oh, probably a little record, Marcia. Rumatize you're plaguing me, son. No. That's my time of life. A man's got to expect a few miseries.

Are you, uh, a head and figure office, are you? Oh, sure I am. Well, I just thought maybe we could sit and talk, spare one. Come on. I don't get into town too often, Marshall.

Yeah, I know that. I just thought we'd sit and talk. Oh, I see. Things all right out the farm? Oh, yes, yes. Same as usual. Farmmen don't change much. You get a good crop one year and a bad one, another.

But all even jobs are long run. I guess it does. Now go ahead. Thank you, Marshall. Good morning, Mr. Delano. I'll tell you now, Cyrus, here, don't you? Sure, how are you Mr. Hugman? Fine, fine Chester. My land, I didn't hardly recognize it first.

We don't see you in town very often. No, the place keeps me pretty well tied down. I would cherish, sir. Oh, thank you, Marcia. Seems good to sit. I ain't getting any younger. I guess none of us are.
