The large city and the territory on West. There's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers. And that's with the US Marshal and the spell of gun folk. Gun folk. Starring William Conrad.

The trans-drive story of the violence that moved West with young America. The story of a man who moved with it. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. Is this everything, Chester? Well, it might be more later when they finish shorting the mail.

Hey, where's that telegram? Oh, what telegram? I thought I put it right on top. Let me take a look. Here it is. Might be important. I will soon see. Well, it's some Bill Hickock. Up in Abilene?

Yeah. What you say, Mr. Dylan? He does an girdler headed for Dodge. Keep them there, but don't arrest them until I get there with murder witness. or I'll write Washington all I know of but you signed a hiccup.

Then Mr. Hiccup's coming here, huh? That's what he says. Well, how do you recognize those two men, Mr. Dylan? I expect I'll recognize them all right. Oh, you know them. Yeah, we met. He doesn't grid with a gun man, Justin.

The kind who killed as easy as most men shake hands. Just about as often. Too bad you can't just put him in jail. Yeah. Well, we'll start meeting the trains. There's one in at noon. Good, then we'll meet it.

What do we do if they are on this train, Mr. Dylan? Nothing, Chester. I'll find them later and talk to them, but not on a crowd like this. Yes, you know, every time I see a train I am just overpowered with the urge to travel.
