 In Dodge City and in the territory on West, there is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke, and the story of a man who moved with it. 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. Get me something to wash that food down with right now. I might have my bath. I have it, please. I hadn't caught this bad night that so well. Sure, Jack. It was me who kept their eggs from breaking. I am grateful, Senor. I figure you might want to thank me for the favor. I thank you, Senor. I like her to know what I mean, wouldn't she? Sure she was, Senor. The fun, two hulks like you torment a young girl. Hey, come on, honey. You come with me. You two go along now. Look, we ain't done nothing. You get along. Those men, they were wrong. I do not care. Yeah, I know, honey. I don't you worry. Come on inside. You can wash your face and calm down. Thank you. It was Josefina. Josefina Ramirez. She and her father taken over the old Grimes Place, Westtown. As I remember. Yeah, I guess they're having a tough time with this. They haven't been here very long. Probably won't stay long either. That's pretty mean land. Ma, well, I was wondering if you had something awful important to do with the rest of the afternoon. Nothing too important, I guess, why? She's a real scared girl, Ma. I'd hate for those two brutes to get their hands on her again. What do you want me to do? I thought you might drive her out to a place. You think chaperoning young girls home is part of my job? No, Ma. All right, Kitty, I'll be glad to do it. I'll have Chester hitch up a buggy and we'll get her out there in time for supper, huh? Thanks, Ma. I'll have her waiting out front. Guess there's no use looking for those two men now. Why not? Well, if you took out after them, they're probably halfway to Wichita, I know. Ma. I know what I'm talking about. I haven't seen you when you were riled. Well, you're about to see me riled again if you're not careful. You go on now. Get that buggy, huh? After the next turn. If you would let me off here at the little road. Well, that's an awful long walk. Anybody miss Joe Steve? I would like it. You don't want us to drive you all the way home, huh? No, Senor. Look, Josephine, it's close to dark. I think maybe we'd better go to Dodge City. See, it's not good, but if all the money we can earn, Senor, to make this place go, the eggs have to be sold. Today, my cow is calving. I could not go to town. I sent for the thinner. It's no one else. She did not return in the daylight. You have decided the worst had happened. Oh, Senor Marshall, you do not know how it can be. We have moved four times, trying to find a good home. But for a young girl from Mexico in your country, it's not easy. Your men are not going to be bad. Look, Ramirez, you can't shoot everybody who comes out here, you know? I do not wish for trouble, Senor. I came to your country. I hope for a better way to live. Well, if they bring trouble to my daughter, she's a good girl. Yeah, I know she is. If they bring trouble to my daughter, then I will kill them. This is the way it must be. You can't take the law on your own hands, Ramirez. That's the way it must be, too. I can't kill. That won't do Josephine any good. Senor Marshall, I see. Now listen to me, Ramirez. I know things can be hard, but you'll get protection from the law like anyone. Josephine stays close to home. Oh, we're going to do that. It's on a considerable personal risk. Oh, is that so? Yes, by eating the food myself. And I've come to the conclusion that you build up an immunity to terrible slop like this. And your stomach gets even stronger. Speak up, man, speak up. You mean to eat a marshal? Of course it's a marshal. I'll wait to see you alone, doc. I think I better know. Or just a little mess can kill? I'm waiting for me in the dark. Yeah, that's going to be all right. Drag me out in this field. And so? Well, she kicked me something fierce. Dear me, ain't that a shame. Well, I think she's all right, man. She hit her head a good track, but she'll be all right. Can we move it, doc? Yes, I think so. I'll take her home in the bus. I better go along, too, where her father isn't going to be easy to deal with. I don't see why he should be. Chester, you take Ab. I'll do that if you don't. Oh, I didn't hurt her none. The doc says she's all right. There's no need to lock me up. Before you get to pick him up.
