Gun smoke brought to you by Chesterfield America's most popular two-way cigarette What a pair Chesterfield king size at the new low price Chesterfield regular Round Dodge City and in the territory on West there's just one way to handle the killers on the spoilers And that's where the US Marshall and the smell of gun smoke

Starring William Conrad the trans-bride story of the violence that moved West with young America And the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man.

Matt Dolan, United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancy job, and it makes a man watchful. And a little... lonely. It was a long ride from Dodge up to Pankar Creek in the Dakota Territory.

And I killed a good horse getting there. But I caught Lee Trumbull. He was asleep in a clump of willow, and I took him without a fight. We rode his horse double into Sioux Falls, but we came the rest of the way back to Dodge and Style.

By stagecoach. At least I thought we would travel in style. Lee didn't seem to care much for him. In fact, he wouldn't even talk until the stage pulled in the Dodge and drove up front street toward the plaza.

You're making a bad mistake, Marshall. Is that so? I didn't kill anybody. There are two witnesses say you did, please. They're lying. Then why did you run? My brother, Dolph, he said you was after me.

That's why I run. You'll get a trial. You can talk about it then. I ain't gonna stand trial, Marshall. Dolph will get me out of jail before that. Is that so? I never figured Dolph is a man to do much of anything.
