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. Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers on the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke.
Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, a trans-fried 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 that makes a man watchful. And a little lonely. Shut the door, Chester, it's fly time.
Yes, right. No, but I think you better shut the door. Will you? Mr. Dylan. All right, Justin. Now, what are you so riled up about? Plus, Braden and Howard, Rob. Braden and Rob. It's too hot for those two to be causing any trouble, isn't it?
Well, it sure is. Hot, sir. But that don't bother them. They get a chance to bully somebody. They do it in the middle of a blizzard. Yeah, we were talking about heat, not cold, Justin.
Yes, sir. But don't let that stop you. No, sir. Why don't you start right from the beginning, huh? Yes, sir. Good. Well, see, there's a little Chinese fella with a pig tail and all our real chinamen. He just come in to dodge on a freighter's wagon and right now Braden and Rob they got him pushed up again the wall out there.
Well, what for? What are they doing to him? Well, they're not hurting him, but they're kind of deviling him and poking fun at him. And I don't think they are. I told him to leave him alone.
