Gunsmoke, brought to you by L&M filters. This is it. L&M is best, stands out from all the rest. 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, gun smoke starring William Conrad.
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 thing want to meet. It's a chancey job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
