Transcript

Just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers. And that's with a US Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke.

The story of the violence that moved West with young America. The story of a man who moved with it. Matt Tillen, United States Marshal. Say if there ever was a serial designed to boost a family's breakfast morale, it's new sugar crinkles.

Why, that sugar rice treat that's just right sweet makes breakfast more fun than a circus. Come breakfast time, just pour on milk, and you've got a breakfast main dish as you like it. Those golden nuggets of sugar-coated rice we call sugar crinkles are really special.

Not too sweet, the way some sugar-coated cereal seem to be, and not like others that don't seem sweet enough. Sugar crinkles really are the sugar rice treat That's just right sweet. And whether you eat them from the bowl for breakfast, from the pack as a snack, or both ways, you love sugar crinkles.

Try them soon. And now, gun smoke, starring William Conrad. Aah! Quattlesack, been a long dusty trail up from Texas. I don't care to ride in the dog soap.

Oh, yeah, ha. And here's a cougar house, didn't I? Yeah. And then lookie-anda. Well, there's allofra ganja. Let's start with it. Tell him we're here, Zach. Show him how we live in Texas. Ah! I'm gonna put a bullet to his hat, Zach.
