Westbound

Down, dark 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 spell of... Gun-smoke. Gun-smoke. 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. 4-20 p.m. We got in right on time, Mr. Dunn.

Yeah, the railroad's getting better every month, Chester. Looks like they're gonna civilize this prairie yet. No, I'm glad to hear it. All right, let's go. Hell, Abilene, sure, don't change much. Looks like it did the last time I was here.

Now we're getting most of the cattle at Dodge now. Booms leveled off here. Still a rough town, no, I suppose. You think you'll put up a fight? I don't know, Chester. He's pretty mean from all reports he made.

We'll try to avoid it though. Of course we're only guessing, anyway. He might not even be here. He always has to rabbling when he gets in trouble. It's his hometown. He'll be here. One good thing is Bill Hickock's town too. He still have the local sheriff on our side for once.

I suppose that sounds hell. Some hell? I'd rather have Wild Bill along than anybody I know. I suppose. Chester, what's the matter with you? You're acting like a man at his own funeral. And what you doing?

I've had an uneasy feeling ever since we left Dodge. Kind of a hunch, you might say. Aww, it's nonsense. They're gonna pick up a killer and take him back for trial. That's all. Maybe. And maybe not.
