 Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers of the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Bring 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, the United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely.

What are you so riled up about, Chester? Press Graydon and Howard Rabb. What are those bullies up to now? I'll see you won't never believe it, but there's a real Chinaman here in town. A little Chinese fellow with a big tail and all. He just come in to dodge on a freighter's wagon, and right now Braden and Rabb, they got him pushed up again the wall out there. Oh, what are they doing to him? Well, they're deviling him and poking fun at him. I told him to leave him alone, but Mr. Dillon, I wish you'd go tell him. All right, Chester, I'll go tell him. If there's anything I hate, it's a bully. Maybe they're just curious about him. The first Chinaman I ever knew of in dodge. Maybe you hear him. There you are. Look, I think you understand one word they're saying. He just backed up there staring at him, holding tight that little old box he's got. Maybe that's what they want. That little box? Probably just his medicine or something. He's not an Indian, Chester. No, sir, he ain't, but maybe them Chinese fellows has medicine too. Look how he's hanging on to it. Don't talk real good, do your ass. Somebody must have split his tongue. Oh, no, you know, Chinese boys all sound like that. Now look, fella, I'm just asking you one more time. What are you doing in dodge? Oh, me touchy job, me all the time working hard. Good job, huh? Well, I sure hope you ain't brought your family with you. No, no family. One man and one boy. Want to say me? Oh, that's one good thing. Why shouldn't the man have a family, Rad? Oh, yeah. I said why shouldn't he have a family? Oh, well, you want a lot of Chinaman running around loose here? What's your name, fella? Chinlan Wong, me good boy. Got your place, Dodge City, all the time working hard. Now, Chin, I'm the U.S. Marshal here, and you're welcome in dodge. You can stay here as long as you like. What are you mixing this for? He's got no business protecting him, Marshal. He's got dirty phone, ain't he? Except for the Indians. We're all foreigners here in Britain. Chin, I told you you're welcome in the yard, and if either one of these men bother you again, you come and tell me about it. Now look, Marshal, you look at that little box. He's got that. It's probably full of money that he stole something. No, no, no money. Chin, no stealing, no money. Who's going to believe you? Get out of here, you two. Huh? Go on, move. Hmm. See about this later? I never heard of nothing like it. The law... Chin, I like to bring trouble, Marshal. I don't worry about the trouble, Chin. Tell me, what kind of work do you do? Well, we catch all the place. Well, we're good cookers. A cook, huh? Oh, yes. Well, what kind of cooking do you do, Chin? All kinds. Chinese cooking, Malacan cooking, all kinds. Say, you know what, Mr. Don, we ought to take him over to Del Mamco's. Oh, why? Well, sure. Mr. Green fired the cookie out there yesterday. Might be he ain't found another yet. All right, just see you take him over. Chin, you remember what I said about rabbit and braids? You come tell me if they give you any trouble. Millions know that the best laxative ever made is Haley's M.O. And now you can get it in a wonderful new flavored form. Yes, flavored Haley's M.O. Just imagine. It's a laxative that tastes so good. Everyone will be delighted with it, children and adults alike. And remember, ordinary laxatives provide only a certain amount of relief. For irregularity, as usually accompanied by acid stomach upset, and ordinary preparations pass right through your stomach without helping one bit. But because Haley's M.O. contains the two most widely approved and time-tested ingredients known, it works first in your stomach to relieve excess acidity and then where other preparations act to relieve irregularity. By giving you thorough relief, Haley's M.O. makes you feel better, infinitely better than ordinary preparations do. And Haley's M.O. is so gentle, it's recommended even for surgical patients. So buy Haley's M.O. today. Look for the big letters M-O on the package. Get either the plain form or the new flavored Haley's M.O. Mr. Green at Delmonico's took a chance and hired Chen Wang that day. And it turned out he wasn't lying about being a good cook, and neither was he lying about working hard. Mr. Green let him sleep in a storeroom off the kitchen, and there he stayed, out of sight then. For a while, out of trouble. Hello, Matt. Come in, come in, come in. Hello, Dark. I'll be right with you as I finish with Chen Wang here. No, what's the matter with Chen? There. Lying right there, you see? That's what was the matter, you know? You lost a tooth, aren't you? There you are, Chen. I'm through. See, better let me take a look at that in a day or two. Thank you, Doctor. I'll come back. How much do I owe you? A dollar. May I pay you next time? See, I won't get my salary from Mr. Green until Saturday. I have no money except for that. Oh, sure, sure, Chen, anytime. Chen, the first time I saw you, you were being a very good Chinese boy, all the time working hard, catch him job, that sort of thing. Isn't that how a Chinaman's supposed to talk, Marshall? Well, I thought it was, too, just now. Oh, some of my countrymen do talk like that, Marshall. English is a very difficult language for us. Oh, what about you? I was more fortunate than most. When I first came to America, I worked for a man who was very kind. He taught me, made me study and practice simple hours every day. Oh, I see. Well, why were you talking the other way when I first saw you? The experience has taught me that many men resent a Chinaman who does not talk the way they expect him to. I wish to avoid trouble. Chen's on his way to San Francisco, Matt. He's going home as soon as he can save up enough money for his passage. Oh, well, I wish you luck, Chen. Thank you, Marshall. Well, it almost gets back to work now. Good day, gentlemen. Start on, Chen. Goodbye. He's a nice fellow. Yeah, he is. I believe him about being broke, too. Oh, why shouldn't you, Doc? Haven't you heard? I heard what? Uh, Pless Brayden and Howard Rabb. They've been saying Chen's got lots of money. Now, they say he keeps it hidden. That little box he has. Oh. Now, with that kind of talk going around, Chen's in trouble. There are men besides Brayden and Rabb who would murder him for his money and not even think it was a crime. Oh, I suppose you're right, man. I think I'll catch up with him and have a talk, Doc. I'll see you later. I had that talk with Chen, and I tried to get him to put his box in the bank and let everybody know that he'd done so, but he said that he wanted the box near him and that he'd keep it hidden in this room. I couldn't argue him out of it, so I knew there'd be trouble. Turn off a couple of days later and haven't, though not the way I'd expected. It was noon, and Chester and I went into the Delmonicoes for dinner. Hey, there's a place in Tundra there, Mr. Donk. Yeah, maybe it's closed. There's Mr. Green. Ah, Green, are you closed today? Hello, Marshall. Chester? Hello. Yeah, I'm closed, Marshall. I got no cook. What? Chen, he won't cook today. I don't know what's the matter with him. He won't even talk. Oh, where is he? Sitting in his room back there in the floor. Just sitting there, staring at his hand. Maybe he's sick. Oh, he ain't sick. There's something wrong with him. Maybe you can find out what it is, Marshall. He might talk to you. Yeah, sure, I'll try. It's a storeroom right off the kitchen, Marshall. The door's open. Yeah, I'll find it. Oh, hello, Chen. Hello, Marshall. Okay, can I come in? I'd like to talk to you. Come in. How's your tooth? Gives me any trouble? No. Um, tell me something, Chen. What, Marshall? Do you consider me a friend? I believe you are. Oh, good. Then maybe you'll let me help you. See, what we? Well, I don't know. You'll have to tell me what's wrong first. It would be difficult for you to understand, Marshall. Well, maybe, but tell me anyway. I am Chinese, Marshall. They've lived many years in America, but I am still Chinese. Yeah, go on. Years ago, my country was overrun by a tribe of taughters called the Manchus. As they took each city, they required the inhabitants to shape around their heads, leaving only a long strand of hair to be braided into a queue. It was a sign of subjugation. But that has been forgotten. And now the queue or pigtail, as you call it, is of great importance to us. Wait a minute, Chen. I just noticed. Where's yours? To lose the queue is a great disgrace to us, Marshall. Who did it, Chen? Two men? The same two? You mean Brighton and Rab? They came here last night. They wanted my treasure box. And you wouldn't tell them where it was, so they cut off your pigtails, had it? They took it away with them, Marshall. That makes my disgrace even worse. Chen, will it help any if I get it back for you? If I don't get it back, I must kill those two, Marshall. No, no, don't you go kill on anybody. You let me handle this. I'm very sorry, Marshall, for all the trouble. You just wait here, Chen. I'll see what I can do. Well, it ain't Marshall doing it. You going to buy us a drink, Mark? I thought I told you meant to stay away from Chen Wang. Chen Wang? Now what's he hollering about? His pigtail. He wants it back. I don't know what you're talking about, Marshall. Yes, you do. Chen's lying to you, Marshall. All them heathen foreigners is lying. Rab. Now, what's that pigtail? Now, where is it? I don't know nothing about it, I tell you. It was not us, aren't it? Now, Marshall, we did not do it. Maybe I ought to beat the truth out of you. Oh, what's out of the truth now, Marshall? I don't believe you. You get that pigtail back to Chen or you're in trouble. No, what do you mean trouble? You'll find out when it's too late. And there's nothing I can do to stop it. I went back to Chen and I tried to explain things to him. I told him what had happened if he killed anybody, but that didn't bother him. And then I got mad at him for being so stubborn. I guess he figured I didn't understand at all. So I left him feeling pretty helpless. The next day, he made his first move. I found out about it at the long branch. Oh, it sure has been a long day now. I'm worn out and I got the whole night ahead of me yesterday. Oh, well, what happened today, Kitty? Oh, well, Sam over there got the bright idea of offering every other drink on the house to any soldier that walked in here. Well, that's one way I came in here so long and full. Oh, yeah, it sure is. And if this goes on, I might as well move out the Fort Dodge and show him the army. I think it'd be easier. I'm sure they'd be glad to have you, Kitty. Marshall Dylan. Yeah, what's on your mind, Red? That's Shannon. That's what. He's haunting us. Me and Braden. And if he don't stop it, I'm gonna put a bullet in him. What do you mean he's haunting you? Well, after noon, he's been following us. Wherever we go, he just stands around staring at us. Why, he tries to man crazy after a while. Now, I'm warning you, Marshall. I'm gonna shoot him. Good. And I can come to you hanging. The rabbit told you before to give Chen back his pigtail. He won't bother you if you do. You still believe him, don't you, Marshall? I believe him. Well, it's a fine thing when a U.S. Marshall takes the word of a stinkin' dirty little shellop. Now, you get out of here, rabbit. Go on. All right, I'm going. Matt, you better do something about that. They'll kill Chen for sure. Unless he kills them first, kiddie. But I'll tell Chester to keep an eye on him. I'll see you later. For sure. I'll see you later. New kind of shoes shine, newly-due, new shine all over. A one, a two, a color, what's new? Kids scuffed up shoes, take on a dance and shine. With new shine all over, the liquid grind. Eight, a nine, color, but dries to a shine. No puffin' and no puffin', it dries to a shine. That new shine all over, the liquid grind. Next thing you know, the Shineola folks will be offering to put the shoe polish on for you. Their new Shineola liquid wax not only shines itself with no rubbing or brushing, it now has an ingenious new kind of applicator that takes the work out of applying the polish. It's a flexible, flat-shaped applicator that bends to the contour of your shoe and eases right into those hard-to-get-out corners. Spreads the polish so accurately, you don't even have to take your shoes off to shine them. And Liquid Shineola's new wax shine is as special as the applicator. It's the fine leather shine you don't have to brush. Why not turn over your family's shoe-shining chores to new Shineola liquid wax? Well, I sure am. I'm sorry, Mr. Jones. Why did you lose them, Chester? Well, see, they was in the Texas Trail having a drink and I was watching like you told me. And all the watts come up and started talking to me. And next I looked, they was gone, all three of them. So I come after you. Oh, we'll find them. That's right. We'll hope so. Tim is carrying his little box and she's dealing right under his arm. He was getting... He'll go behind her. I'll let everybody crowd up that alley for us. Now, let's go see. All right. Let Mr. Dillon through here. Stand back, everybody. Alvin. Mr. Dillon, it's Tim. Yeah. He's been straggled, Chester. Straggled? Yeah, well, there's a pigtail. I gave it back to him, all right. Hey, look there. Knife. It's got blood all over it, too. Yeah, it's a butcher knife. Chad must have cut one of them, maybe both. That'll make it easier to track them. Yeah. Listen, all you men, I want you to stay here. I don't want anybody following us. You understand? All right, come on, Chester. Just take it easy. He may be waiting for us. Look, there's something over there with that rain bear hole. It's a man. Grab, Chester. Looks like Chin cut him up pretty bad. He's dead? Yeah, he's dead. Now, let's find Brayton. He won't take me. He's out with that shed there, Mr. Dillon. Yeah. You stay here, Chester, and keep Don. I'm going to crawl up there to where I can see him. All right. All right. I'm going to keep his tension. All right, good. You ain't got no chance, Brayton. Not a fortune, Brayton. I must be awful scared. Chin, that is nice of you, too. We'll just stand up one time, Chester. I'll be happy to kill you. You dropped your gun, Brayton. No. I guess you had to. There's Chin's treasure box, Chester. Take it up with you. Here it is. Guess that's what we're killing for. Must be full of money after all. Now, let's take a look. Oh, yeah, it is money. Yeah, this much is money. Four dollars. Four dollars. Is that all? That's all. What's that other paper? I don't know. A strike of match. Chester, hold it over here, huh? It looks like some kind of a document, don't it? What's it say? I can't see it very well. Hold it closer. Some of it. Chin Lan Wong was an invaluable service and intelligence. General McClellan's army of the Potomac. A modular campaign March 1862. Correct. Wait a minute. March 1862 in recognition. Something, something, something. Chin Lan Wong is hereby granted full citizenship in the United States. Signed Ulysses S. Grant, president. I'll be doggone. It looks like Chin wasn't exactly a foreigner after all, doesn't it? Poor old fella. Chester. Yes, sir. I'm going to take this letter out to Major Honeyman at Fort Dodge. I got an idea he might want to give Chin Lan Wong a military burial. Mr. Don't, that'd be just fine. Now, Basil Rathbone, star of stage, screen and television. Hello there. Nothing's more trouble to an actor than an awful cold.
