Gun smoke. Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshall and the smell of gun smoke. Starring William Conrad, the 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 Dillon, United States Marshall, The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chance job, but it makes a man watchful.
At a little lonely. Dog, goner, Mr. Done.
One of these here days I'm just going to shake the dust and dodge city off of my boots for good. Sure, I know, Justin. How much you lose this time? $11.20. Who said anything about losing?
All the time you said in on one of those draw games, the boys whoops saw you and you threatened to pull and flip top. And one of these times I'm going to do it too.
Sure. And the first thing you look for in the next time to be a draw poker table. Well, maybe I ought to change to stud or blackjack. And you ought to just keep your money in your pocket, you ever think of it?
No, I got to hunt. My luck is right on the point of turning, Mr. Dylan. If I only had, say, five dollars or so to get back into the game, I could be... Well, even if I only had a dog...
Oh, oh, Miss Kitty. Just one single dollar. You broke, Chester? Well, yes. There you go. Oh, no, no, no. I just couldn't think of taking money from a lady, Mr. D. Oh, well, I'll take that to the loan.
…
Oh! Died of what? A bullet wound. You mean somebody was shot this afternoon? You didn't tell me about it? I didn't think it was important. Was the carpets, though? Yes. You look where you'd broken up when you left.
Doc, will you please? I reckon a man living alone that way without any human friends can get pretty fond of an old hound dog. A dog? I guess I did forget to mention It was that old spotted hound dog he was shot.
Oh, you know. Miss Kitty? Yeah, Chester. Do you think maybe you can get by till payday for that dollar? Forget it, Chester. Yeah, yes, forget it. No, no. No, just look at me, Chester. No.
