Transcript

Gunsmoke brought to you by Alandam filters. Make today your big red letter day. Your Alandam red letter day. Change to Alandam. Around Dodge City and into the territory on West. There's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.

And that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gunsmoke starring William Conrad. The France-Brog story of the violence that moved west with young America, and the story of a man moved with it.

A handful of sunburned buildings half lost in the empty prairie, with a few scrawny cottonwood trees along the plaza, and the river and the red clay bluffs to the south. A frontier town like all the others, except for one difference, where on the railroad.
