Transcript

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. Marshall 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.

That's my job, but it doesn't leave much leeway to mix in on personal quarrels. There's no quarrel? It's just that Ed Bodrie's are hot-tempered fools. But never did anything to him. He married Jude, doesn't he?
