Transcript

Down to our 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 smell of gun smoke. Unspoke. Starring William Conrad.

The transcribed 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, there might be more later when they finish shorting the mail.

Hey, where's that telegram? Oh, what telegram? I thought I'd put it right on top. Let me take a look. Oh, here it is. Might be important. I will soon see. Well, it's from Bill Hecock.

Up in Abilene? Yeah. What'd you say, Mr. Dillon? Teeter's and Gritler 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.

I'll put you... Sign the hiccup. Oh, then Mr. Hiccup's coming here, huh? That's what he says. Well, how do you recognize those two men, Mr. Jones? I expect I'll recognize them all right. Oh, you know them.

Yeah, we've met. He doesn't gridler or gunman, Chester. The kind who killed as easy as most men shake hands. Just about as often. Too bad you can't just put them in jail. Yeah. Well, we'll start meeting the trains.

There's one in at noon, sir. Good, then we'll meet it. We do as they are on this train, Mr. Dylan. Nothing, Chester. I'll find them later and talk to them, but not in a crowd like this.

Yes, sir. You know, every time I see a train I am, it's overpowered with the herds to travel. Oh? Poor too. Anywhere. Anywhere but Kansas. Well, I don't think you'd like it back east any better.
