 In the round-dodge city and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. We're calling William Conrad, the story of the violent that moved west with Young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, the United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, but it makes a man watchful. And a little lonely. People today think Young. Make more time for fun at home, family style. This is the life for Pepsi Cola. Light, bracing, clean tasting Pepsi. So think Young. Say Pepsi, please. So go ahead and fix a drink. Let's let you drink, young as you think. Yes, get the right one. The modern life's one. Now it's Pepsi. For those who think Young. Of course, here, Jackie. We'll tell them off. They rode their wild horses right away from me. Didn't we read? They're probably still looking for them. But we got two, Ma. Two wild horses in the crowd. I've seen you driving men. Yeah, they'll bring good money. That's right, Ma. They're sound. Any trouble? No, we just rode away from them. Rode away from who? Old man's floating his second boy, that jazz. You take him away from the float? No, we just that rode him. Now, read you tell me straight. That's right, Ma. They was out on open range. We got them rounded up first. Yeah, and we got away first, too. I don't want no trouble. Oh, we can handle it, Ma. We can always handle them slow. I don't want nothing to handle. Now, Ma, there ain't no cause to worry. That's what your pa said when he laid dead. Pa was alone that day, Ma. Hey, somebody's coming. It's them. Yep. Jazz and his old man. Well, leave them come. They'll take the coast we brought in. Come on, Jackie. You better hold on. Rope them. There are coats. Ain't there, Reed? There are. That's right enough. There ain't never no call for you slow-thriding under our place. And there sure ain't no call for you trying to take them coats. And big like his pa did. Go on, Jazz. Go gather up them coats. If you're far, I'll get them. Not likely you won't. Jackie! Pa, there wasn't no call. It's you, him. Mister, that was my brother. You shot. You hold it, boy. Right where you are. You don't want the same? You mu- His pa. Well, go on, Jazz. Get the coats. Are you just going to leave them alive, pa? If they need burying them all, I can do it. Will you get them coats? Get off my land. Pa, he's got guns. Never mind her. Just go on. You killed my pa. You should go more, Pa. I'm no credit to that. You're all right, Jackie. Can you stand? Yeah. Sure. So, ma, my head creased, I guess. Well, let's look to your brother. He's living, Jackie. But he's bad hurt. We've got to get him in. You fit to carry. Sure, ma. I'll take his head. No, I can lift him. I'll take his head. You're up. If we get him down, you'll ride right off to Dodge. Sure, ma. Yeah, I'll bring the dock right back. The dock and the marshal. The marshal? Queen never needs the law, ma. We can handle them. Slokes? Pa said they never would. Your pa. Your pa ain't paying no more. You bring the marshal straight. Oh, it's Monday. And Monday, as all too many of you know, can mean the beginning of another dreary work-a-day week. It can mean that, but it doesn't have to. Not if you're tuned to your favorite CBS radio network station to hear the great morning lineup of entertainment. This is what you'll hear. Arthur Godfrey time, presided over by the irrepressible redhead with big-name guest stars like Arlene Francis and Kay Ballard and musical treats from singers Kong Ling and Richard Hayes, the jazz harmonica player Jean Thielman and Dick Hyman's orchestra. The Gary Moore radio show starring one garrison morpher and his sidekick, Derward Kirby, in lots of lively talk. Art Linkletters' house party with fun for all the guests, including you and highlighting Art's inimitable children's interviews. And finally, the Bing Crosby Rosemary Clooney show, presenting two great singers bringing song and friendly banter. All here, all available, Monday through Friday at this dial address. For yourself, Miss Kitty, we got rid of three cases last week. Well, all right, Sam. I'll order it the next time a drummer comes too. Oh, sorry, ma'am. I'm sure sorry, ma'am. I didn't mean to run into you. It wouldn't hurt you to look. Never mind. It's all right. Well, I didn't see you, ma'am. Well, I hope you didn't. I'd hate to think you nearly knocked me down in purpose. Oh, no. No, ma'am. Just that I was looking for somebody. Who are you looking for? The lady that runs this place, ma'am. You found her? What? You mean it's you? Something the matter with that? Well, no. No, ma'am. I just figured she'd be bigger and older, like... like anybody that... That runs a saloon? Well, yes, ma'am. I'll take that as a compliment. What can I do for you? They told me up the street you always know where the marshal is. I'll take that as a compliment, too. You're looking as often. Yes, ma'am. Yes, he ain't there. You know where I can find him? Or the doctor? You sound like you're in real trouble. My brother's shot bad. I said come to dodge and fetch him, but I ain't found neither one of them. Well, sometimes they come in here about this time, and sometimes they don't. Well, you're halfway in luck anyway. Matt? Matt? The marshal just walked in. That big fella? Yeah, that big fella. Hello, kiddie. Something up? This boy. What's your name? Jakey Sale. He's in trouble, Matt. Oh? This is Marshal Dillon, Jakey. How do you do, Marshal? Oh, it's trouble, Jakey. My brother Reed. He's been shot. I'm all set to get you. And the doc. I couldn't find him. Oh, where is your brother? Out to the home place. That's west of town, isn't it? Yes, sir. Out past Turkey Creek. Uh-huh. You know who shot him? Yeah. The old man's sloped. He'd done it. Why? Well, they come after our horses, and we tried to stop them. They shot your brother. Did they get the horses? Oh, no, sir. No, after Marshal shot Jass, the old man's sloped. He rode right off. Your mother shot Jass's sloped? Yeah, Marshal, she did. I've never seen her use her rifle before, neither. All right, I'll get right out there. Well, the slopes won't let her go at that, will they, Matt? No, kiddie. They won't. You know what? You've got to help the boy find Doc, will you? Yes, sir. Trust her, now. It's starting on out. The boy can show Doc the way. He never called in the law before. Yeah, sounds like it. So long, kiddie. I'll see you later. Well, that's since I was calling on Miss Ruthie Pace's work, Pager. What ever happened to that romance, Chester? Well, I wouldn't exactly call it no romance, Mr. Young. Though she did let me kiss her one time and we was both out in the barn. Oh, I'm glad you were both there. Well, of course we was both there. How else in the world could I have kissed her? Has she married Sam Bigelow, didn't she, Chester? Yes, she did. And I never could rightly understand it neither. Oh, Sam's a nice, nice fellow. But not as nice as you are, is that it? Well, Mr. Young, I don't think he's no nicer. I'll say that. Oh, Ruthie Pace must have thought so. Well, what does a woman know about men? Yeah. Ain't that the slope place just yonder there? Yes, it is. I didn't expect to find them here. There's two horses tied in front of the house. Yeah, you're right. Shot came from back there. Yeah, watch the house, too. Yes, sir, I am. Well, I got something to say to you. It'll be easier if you put down your gun. See, Mr. Young, pull by the side of the barn. Yeah. I'm coming out, Slote. I can shoot if I have. We got the drop. You better ride off like you've come. Put the gun down. Closer behind that rock up there. Put the other side, and then you'll have a clean shot at him. All right. Wait, I give up. Don't kill me. And throw your gun down. All right, Mr. Young. I'm going to have a good Chester time up and watch him. I'm going to go to sales. I've had them coats and been gone, and the milk didn't come late. He should have been a little later. Watch him, good Chester. I'll pick you up on the way back. This is true. Wouldn't expanded CBS News broadcasts find greater favor with the vast CBS radio listening audience if they simply omitted bad news? There's a pretty obvious answer to that one, and it goes like this. Of course not. Expanded CBS News has only one object to present all the important global news swiftly and without bias. This takes more than just good intention. It takes thousands upon thousands of miles of complex communications links, hundreds of skilled newsmen. There's that matter of experience, too. The kind of experience only years can create. In a sense, expanded CBS News is a network within a network, a service acting around the clock to meet your need to know, to keep you informed of important events, no matter where they happen. For longer, stronger coverage of world happenings, it's expanded CBS News on CBS Radio. You can depend on it. I need more firewood. Round the side there. My boy reads shivering cold. Sure, man, I'll get it for you. Those could use a stick or two. Pan of water marshal. Turk marshal. I don't know what to do, but keep him warm and keep his head cool. I've been at it all day. Dark atoms will fix him up. We gotta keep him going till he gets here. Well, sure, try, man. Sorry I couldn't get here sooner, man. How about, Doc? Oh, hello, Matt. Let's have a look here. I missed him all I could. Hold that light over here, will you, Matt? Yeah, sure. Bullet went in and came out. That's good. Then you won't have to do no cutting. No, I won't have to do any cutting. Is he all right, Doc? I'm trying to find out. His fever's breaking. That's good, ain't it? Yes, that's good. His heart's strong. It looks to me like the worst is over, Mr. Sale. I think you're making all right. Oh, thank the Lord. I'll sail out and watch him for the next few hours, just to be sure. Well, I'd be beholden, Doctor. Can the board put my horse up? Yes, sir. Right off, Ma. I'll do it right off. And rub it down good, too. And for the good news, Miss, I guess I can be getting on back now. I called you here because of the shooting, Marshal. Oh, yeah, but that's all over, Miss Sale. I told you the slopes won't be bothering you anymore. Milton, Jas, they're dead, and I'm picking up old man's float on the way back to Dodge. I didn't call you here because of the slopes. No. Well, uh, why did you? Because of me. Because of you? I want you to arrest me for the killing I did. I was just a shooting. Your two boys have been gunned down. I'm not going to hold you for that. I want the judge to say that. Well, there's no need for the judge. There is for me, Marshal. I killed a man. I killed Jas's float, and I want to answer for it. Miss Sale... We've been living without the law for a long time, Marshal. We've been doing our own fighting and saying what was right. My husband didn't see no need for the law. And he was shot? He was shot, feuding, without the law. I don't want that no more, Marshal. For me or for my boys. I want them to lean to the law instead of to their guns. Miss Sale, that's the right way to think. But this time there's no need for me to arrest you. The killing was justified. Then the judge would let me go, wouldn't he? Sure, he'd let you go. And the boys would see how the law works. All right, Marshal. You can arrest me now. But Miss Sale... Go ahead, ma'am. She's teaching a hard lesson and it may take hold. You think so, though? I think so. All right, then. Miss Sale, you're going to have to come with me. I'm arrested. Thank you, Marshal. No, ma'am. I think maybe I should thank you. You need someone to do a specific type of job. You hire someone specially trained to do that job. After all, this is an age of specialization. What you may not know is that right now, there are several hundred thousand men and women who have received special training and are searching for employment. These people, many of whom are veterans, have physical handicaps, which actually often makes them better able to fill specific jobs. Sound strange? Maybe so. But here's the explanation. These men and women, recognizing their shortcomings, have sought and received special rehabilitation and training in specific areas of work. They are all highly skilled because they have been taught to make the best use of the physical and mental abilities they possess. Looking for help? Contact your state employment service and ask about physically handicapped workers. Employing the physically handicapped is good business. Gun smoke. Produced and directed in Hollywood by Norman McDonnell stars William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshal. The story was specially written for gun smoke by Marion Clark with editorial supervision by John Messon. Featured in the cast were Virginia Christine, Richard Brenna, John Daner, Sam Edwards, and Vic Parran. Harley Bear is Chester, Howard McNeer is Doc, and Georgia Ellis is Kitty. This is George Walsh inviting you to join us again next week when CBS Radio presents another story on gun smoke. Music The laughs are on Arthur Godfrey every weekday on the CBS Radio Network.
