Around Dard 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. Marshal and the smell of... Gun-spoke. Gun-spoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved West with young America, the story of a man who moved with it, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal.

It had been some time since we'd had any real trouble Anything more than throwing a few juice step cowboys and jailed silver up for a few hours And I liked it peaceful for a change Well that morning I'd gone to take a few catfish out of the Arkans is When I got back to the office, I found a note from Chester

Saying he's at the allifer Gansa having a beer. Hello John Over here, Mr. Dillon. Any luck, sir? How about a dozen, Chester? We'll have them for supper. No, that'll be fine. Oh, I've been telling Mr. Carter here about you, Mr. Dillon.

Mr. Carter? Robert P. Carter. How do you do, Marshall? Hello, how are you? Are you a drink? Well, thank you. Yes, I believe I will. I think I'll have a beer. My tender? A beer.

Mr. Carter came in on the stage from Denver last Saturday. Oh, you live in Denver, Mr. Carter? Mr. Carter? Oh, heavens no, New York, Marshall. I've only been west a few months, investing money in gold mines and cattle and the like.

Mr. Carter's very, very well. Just, I will be if Mother Nature holds out. His girl is coming in on the stage today, Mr. Dillon. Oh, is that so? My fiance, Marshall. He met her in Denver, but she couldn't get ready in time to come here when he did.
