 A 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 a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. 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 Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chantsy job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. Today you're green, those who think Young say Pepsi please. They pick the right one, the modern light one. Now it's Pepsi. For those who think Young, so go ahead and pick the drink that lets you drink, Young as you think. Yes, get the right one. The modern light one. Now it's Pepsi. For those who think Young. It's a 10 days business. Oh, oh, yes sir, what can I do for you? No, I'd like a room. Oh, yes sir. I have a nice one, second floor, if you would just sign the register. Yeah, all right. There, that's fine. I didn't mean to sound out of sorts. That's quite all right. I thought it was one of them cowhands pestering for something again. Can you tell me where I can find Dr. Adams? Doc Adams? Well, sure. Oh, say, I sure hope you ain't alien. No, no, I feel fine. Yeah, that's good. Doc Adams ain't exactly what you'd call fancy, but oh, I suppose he's all right for ordinary doctors. Can you direct me to his office? Oh, yes sir, I certainly can. Now you go down to the end of the block, across the street, up the stairs, on the side of the building. There's a sign. Dr. C. Adams, it says. Yes, thank you. Now if you'll see that my bag is taken up to my room. Oh, certainly we'll do that, Mr. Webber. Dr. Webber. Oh, good day. Yes, certainly Dr. Webber. Now, there's a man that looks like a doctor or to look. Give me some information. What do you want to know, Mr. Webber? I'm looking for Dr. Adams. That's his office up there? Yes, I've just been there, but he isn't in. He ain't, huh? I was hoping you might know where I could find him. I ain't got no use for a doctor. Oh, I see. Well, in that case... We looked in the long branch. The long branch? Saloon, down the street there. Oh, no, no, I haven't. Doctors likely to be there as anywhere else. He spends a lot of time there. I see. What's your blinds? Must be a slow day in Dodge to get both of you in here in the middle of the afternoon. Yeah, don't tempt fate. Well, Kitty, you better not talk about it or the whole time my bus was. That happens every Saturday night. Well, I just assumed it didn't happen on a Wednesday. Me too, man. Patching up a bunch of brawling cowhens isn't my idea of a quiet weekend. Maybe we could get Kitty to stop selling whiskey, Doc. Well, that might quiet things down a little bit. But how about that, Kitty? Well, if you two would guarantee to support me for the rest of my life, I'd... Are you looking for somebody, mister? Yes, I am looking for Dr. Adams. Well, I'm Dr. Adams. Well, how do you do? My name is Weber. Dr. William Weber. Oh, please meet you. This is Kitty Russell. Russell. Oh, Doc. This is Marshall Dillon. Marshall, Doctor. Um, would you care to sit down, Dr. Weber? Well, thank you, Miss Russell. Actually, I have come to talk business with Dr. Adams. Oh, well, in that case, Doctor, we'll leave the table to you. Don't win that. Well, sure. Oh, please. No, I didn't mean to. Oh, we'd be glad to. Now, just wait a minute, Kitty. I have an office of my own. Yeah, you do it that. And I can conduct my business affairs there. So, you will just come with me, Dr. Weber. Certainly, Dr. Adams. Good day, Miss Russell. Marshall. Bye. Good day, Doc. Doc, now I'm kind of happy to meet you. Ah, he's not happy, Kitty. It's his professional pride. He doesn't often get a chance to show it. And then, we're going to convey word of the day's events with speed, accuracy and objectivity. That's the reputation gained by CBS Newsmen through many years of bringing the news to CBS radio listeners from coast to coast. Today, as for decades, you're always sure of getting the news fast, first, by a CBS News on CBS Radio. Uh, sit down. Oh, here. Thank you. It's never easy to learn of an old friend's death. We doctors run into it all the time, but it's never easy. Yes, I'm sorry to bring the news, Dr. Adams, but Dr. Wilson wanted it that way. You must have been very close at one time. Yes, yes, very close. I mean, I went through medical college together. Yes, sir. Started up in practice, and then the war came. Life has many dislocations, Dr. Weber. It does indeed. My purpose in coming here, Dr. Adams, is not merely to bring you the unhappy news of Henry Wilson's death. It was to outline some of his last wishes that concern you. And so did me. Yes, sir. Dr. Wilson wanted your help. Well, I don't know what you're getting at, Dr. Weber. It doesn't make sense. Successful man like Henry Wilson wanting help from me. It's because of his success. Well, I don't understand. Yes, well, Dr. Wilson had established a clinic in Philadelphia. Yes, I've heard of it. That's why I'm here. He wanted you to take charge of it after his death. He wanted me? He had a high professional opinion of you, Dr. Adams. We handled some interesting cases together. Very interesting. But even more than your professional ability, Dr. Wilson respected your judgment in handling people. Well, I don't understand. There are some fine young doctors at his clinic, but he felt the man in charge should be an older doctor. I'm older, all right. A man of seasoned judgment as well as professional skill. A man of varied experience. Well, a man like you, Dr. Adams. I see. It would mean a life of greatly increased medical opportunity for you. Well, at last methods, research, and it would mean a life of greater, well, comfort. That would be something, wouldn't it? After all these years, a chance to go back to practice medicines, I started out to practice it. It would be a position of considerable importance and influence, Dr. Adams. And I should think of considerable financial satisfaction. Dr. Wilson wanted to be sure the job was attractive to you. He wanted you to come. Yes. That would be something. Doc? Doc, come in, boy. It's Billy. Oh. It's his arm, Doc. Most of you is to look at it. Oh, well, sure. Sure. Come on in, Billy. Well, you won't be able to ride that new coat with a bum arm, will you? All right. Then come in. Come in. It won't hurt you none, Billy. All right, boy. Let's have a look at it. Oh, yes. Looks like you're following all that code already. That's right. Doc, he sure did. Well, we'll have to put this back together for you then, Billy. Oh, Dr. Rebel, would you mind getting some gauze and splints out of that cover over there? Well, yes. Yes, certainly. Now, let's see here, Billy. I guess the first thing to do is to get that shirt off. Here they are, Dr. Adams. Oh, thank you. All right now, Billy. We'll fix you up as good as new. Thank you, Doc. Bye. Bye, boys. The youngster stood that very well, didn't he? Oh, they have to learn to stand things when they're young on the prairie. It's a harsh learn. You know, Dr., if you stop to think of the proposal I brought with me... I've been thinking of it. Life wouldn't be quite so harsh in Philadelphia. Though I must say, little boys break their arms there, too. Well, they always did. Yes, Dr. Weber, life would be easy. That's not what I'm thinking about the most. It's the thought of the equipment, the chance to use the latest method. If you talk things over with doctors, be here at libraries. I'd have to learn how to act, Dr. Weber. Oh, Dr. Wilson didn't worry about that. Henry was an old and faithful friend. All right, Chester, all right. Well, Doctor, the fellow that was just sprung into jail, and he'd been shot, and Mr. Dillon said for you to come. Was it bleeding bad, Chester? Oh, my, yes, like a stuck hog. I'll be right there. Hello, this is Dr. Weber, Chester. Hello, Chester. All right, Doctor. Well, I reckon I ought to get back now. Yeah, but go on, Chester. Go on. I'm coming out. Here's your bag, Dr. Adams. Oh, thank you. They could say you'd make a good assistant, Dr. Weber. Would you like to come with me? I would, indeed. You know, sometimes the gunshot wounds cause a lot of trouble, even if they don't hit a vital spot. You know, bleeding, infection. You constantly danger a lot, Joe. Yeah, a gun can cause many problems. Too many, Dr. Weber. Dr. Adams! Dr. Adams! Oh, hello, Mrs. Hartman. Ah, we're just coming to see you, Doctor. We'll have to do a little later, then, Mrs. Hartman. Oh, it ain't that I need you, Dr. Adams. I just want to thank you. Why, there ain't hardly anybody who'll believe I'm up and around so soon. Oh, it's fine, fine, but we're in kind of a hurry now. And, baby, you wouldn't know there'd been a bit of trouble about him. He'd eaten like he was trying to catch up with his paul. Well, that's good, but you'll have to excuse me now. I just wanted to say a word of thanks to you, Doctor. Why do you like to care if you say you're starting? Sounds like a satisfied customer. Provia placenta. That was a dangerous delivery, Doctor. She's lucky. You can't very well afford to specialize, can you, Doctor? I specialize in Dodge City. Let's see about that in political order. It isn't exactly Philadelphia food, Dr. Rabbit, but it keeps us going. Oh, all doctors learn to eat when they get the chance. Though I must say our place is generally slower than yours. I just say your morning has been rather full. A broken arm, a bullet wound, a pair of tweenies. Man, don't forget the sick horse. I'm not likely to forget that. No, seriously, Doctor Adams, don't you think the practice I can offer you in Philadelphia would give you a more productive life? Yeah, I'm trying to get the time to think about it, Doctor. I can't deny that it is an interesting idea. It's very interesting. The opportunity, the opportunities for participating in medical advances would be tremendous. And I should think most satisfying. And there's something else, Doctor, that I don't wish to sound presumptuous. Oh, don't you worry about it. I know. I'm getting older. It's just that life might be easy. It's Mary. She's fainted dead away. I can't rouse her. Where is she? She's out to the place. I had a ride to get you. All right, Tom, go on back to her and I'll come. Right away, Doctor? Right away. Oh, you stay on and finish your dinner, Doctor. Certainly not. I don't want to miss any of this. So, athletes' foot grow down here, down under the skin surface. But NP-27 treatment penetrates down where other remedies can't reach. Roots out athletes' foot, even penetrates into toenails. NP-27 stops itch, relieves pain, promotes growth of healthy skin, guards against new infection. NP-27 treatment roots out athletes' foot. Or your drugist will refund your money. Get NP-27 treatment. Oh, Doctor. Doctor, I'm glad you got here so fast. She's, uh, roused some, but it hurts her awful bad. All right, Tom. Oh, this is Dr. Webber from Philadelphia. Hello. Can we look at it together? Hello, Tom. Doctor? Yes, Tom. You sure this follows a good doctor? I'm sure he is, Tom. Let's go. Is she as good as you are, Doc? Well, most people say it was better. I'd want to be sure before he came, Mary. You can be sure. Okay. I'll tell her you're here. Thanks for your recommendation, Doctor. The man wouldn't get far without it. Oh, they just know me. In here, Doc. Hello, Mary. This is Dr. Webber. Doc. Doc. Can you help me? If you'll let me. Mmm. That operation? I told you, Mary. You should have had it before. It's the only chance you've got. Tom? I can't say no again, Mary. You just took too bad. You go ahead, Doc. Will you assist me, Dr. Webber? I'd be proud to, Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams. Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking. I wondered if you'd noticed me. Well, it looks to me like, uh, like I get an Indian waiting there by the road. Oh, yes. Yes, I see him. Well, I guess the best way is to pay no attention to him, isn't it? Uh-oh. No, no. No, Dr. Adams. Yeah, he wants to talk to me. Well, are you sure you should? Well, hello, strong bird. I bring robe. That is a fine robe, strong bird. You killed a big buffalo. The robe is for my son's eyes. You didn't need to bring a gift, strong bird. I was glad to help you. Why, Dr., bring sight back to sun. Strong bird, bring thanks from his people. Well, you tell your people that they're welcome. I thank them for the robe. Yeah, strong bird, go. Dr. Webber, can you hold this robe for me? Mm-hmm. Oh, yes, certainly. Yes, yes, certainly. Yep, yep, yep. Dr. Adams, you treat Indians too? Well, only when they let me, Dr. Webber. Only when they let me. Dr. Adams. Yes? We have a lot of things to offer you in Philadelphia, but I was wrong about one thing. We can't offer you more variety. I have seen some astounding things today. I just watched you perform a delicate and dangerous operation under the crudest circumstances, and perform it with as much skill as though you had the latest equipment. Well, you learned to use what you've got, Dr. Webber. And I've seen you receive thanks from a wild Indian. Oh, Indians of people? You know, I wasn't so sure at first, Dr. Adams, but now I know. We would be very lucky to have you in Philadelphia. If you feel you can come. Well, I'd like to come, but... But you're not coming, are you? No, I guess I'm not. A man has to stay where he's needed. I haven't made much of a mark in medicine. Then maybe I'd have more of a chance of that, but... But I'm needed here, Dr. Webber. I'm needed here. And you understand that? I can understand it, Dr. Adams. And I can even end you. Here's your bag, Dr. Webber. Thank you. And here's a payment for my bill. Thank you, sir. I hope you had a pleasant stay in Dodge City. Oh, yes, yes, indeed. It was certainly a pleasure having a man like you visit us. I hope you'll come again. Thank you. We don't get a chance to see a fine doctor in Dodge very often. Oh, yes, you do, Mr. Dobie. Yes, you do. Every day. Proud we are of being the CBS Radio Network to be able to bring you on this station each weekday the songs of Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. In addition to the sparkling Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney show, we're equally delighted to present at this same address each weekday the assorted talents of Art Linkletter, the House Party Man, Gary Moore and Derwood Kirby, and the rousing Arthur Godfrey Time. There's no business like show business and nowhere else such a fine sampling of the same than on this blockbuster CBS Radio Network Entertainment Fest. Nice the thing about it is, should you miss any or all of these great stars on a Monday, you can catch right up with them the next day or any weekday you're so inclined. Remember, nowhere else can you enjoy each and every weekday the Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney show. The conversational gifts of Gary Moore and his perfect foil, Derwood Kirby. The kids' comedy and cut-ups of Art Linkletter's House Party and the air of glee with gusto, that's a specialty of Arthur Godfrey Time. Gunsmoke, produced and directed in Hollywood by Norman McDonald, stars William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshall. The story was specially written for Gunsmoke by Marion Clark with editorial supervision by John Messon. The cast were John Daener, Virginia Gregg, Vic Perron, Ralph Moody, Sam Edwards, and James Nuthers. 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 Gunsmoke. Laughter on Arthur Godfrey, every weekday, on the CBS Radio Network.
