Transcript

In the Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with 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 Dellum, United States Marshall, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chance job, and it makes a man watchful. And a little lonely. Wooo!

Hey, bartender! Set out another bottle of that rattle. Yeah, like... Now, Mr. Thatcher, just you tell us once more about this year's study, cold, human guy. He's a good cold, Mr. Bellow. He's running cold, you tell me.

He can run, Sean. about the fastest thing in these parts here. And now you're making fun of me, Mr. Buckwell. I don't know why you'd think that. Out here, we're all interested in good horse flesh, especially if it's some sort of a fancy new breed.

Yes. Quarter horse, you call it? Yeah, excuse me. My grand son's waiting for me. I understand these horses you raised have rump so high, they look like they're going down here. I can't even pull out the college cold that way.

Of course it's worth it. You do run right into school. I'm not here. You ain't got no problem. I do believe we got Mr. Thatcher upset here. Let me pour you another drink. No thanks.

I'll be going that. Just staying sociable. Here. Have a drink. I said no, Mr. Butler. Drink it up or I'll stink and bottle down your throat. All right, Butler. That's a lot. That's a lot more to deal with Mr. Thatcher your grandsons waiting outside in the buckboard you better get along home. Thank you Marshall. Thank you very much
