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. Marshal 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, United States Marshal, the first man they looked for and the last they want to meet. It's a chance, a job, that it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely.

Oh, day or two, or three, I'd say. Mm-hmm. You'll pick up fast. Tom Strong is very young. He's been a mighty sick boy, though. Mighty sick. It must have been in terrible shape all through the trial.

Hell, he's in worse shape now. Now, man, I just told you he's gonna be alright. Now what I mean, yes, of course. How much future for him to pick him up? Really think he did it.

I'll name goat. I know, man, but he seems like such a nice boy. It's hard to believe. I'm not supposed to believe, Dark. All I'm supposed to do is what the law says. I think it's your right.

When do you deliver him to his city? It was his able to travel, funny thing. How's that? Getting a kid in shape so that he can ride. Mr. John? The outside there he wants to see you.

What fellow? That Rolmee Hawkins, the one that spoke up again young Moray at the trial. My Chester didn't come in. I'll be gone a long time. I'll look him in the morning. Yeah. Mr. Dune says you can come in.
