 smoke brought to you by Chesterfield. Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed thanks to Accuray. They satisfy the most. 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. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. The transcribed story of the violence that moved West with young Americans 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 chancey job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely. They're killing. One, maybe more. I want some trouble Jack. Andy Bowers. Am I Bowers kid? You ain't a kid if he's old enough to be bullying around after my daughter. Judy's a pretty little thing. I can't say I blame Andy. I told that boy if you ever set foot on my place again I'd shoot him. And you would, huh? I would. Jake, you and Emmett Bowers are the two biggest cattlemen around here. Why do you have to be enemies? There's room for both of you. There ain't enough room in the whole United States for me and Emmett Bowers. All right, all right, Jake. I suppose you know what'll happen if you shoot Andy. That's why I want you to put him in jail. Let him cool off for a while. He'll forget about Judy. You think I'd put a man in jail just because you don't happen to like him, Jake? I'm an important man in Kansas, Marshal, and I run things my way. But you don't run the United States government and you don't run me. All right. I tried. Now it's gonna happen, Marshal. It's gonna happen fast. What's Doc Yammering about, Mr. Dillon? I don't know, Chester. Sitting here taking your ease in the sun while the whole country's gone to war. Why, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. What you been feeding on, Doc? It isn't me, Chester. I just came back from Bowers Ranch, Matt. The cook out there's got the egg you again. And let me tell you that place is an armed camp. Every man ordered is carrying a rifle. They've got sentries posted and everything. Does Emmett think Judy Worth is gonna come over there and steal, Andy? No, but it seems like some of Jake Worth's men fired on a couple of Bowers riders the other day. Said they were off their home ground or some such fool thing. And ever since, both sides have been fixing for battle. And it won't take much to start one, either, Matt. Yeah. No one, Jake and Emmett, there's no point in my talking to them. You know, there comes half the cause of the trouble right now. What? Andy. That's Andy Bowers. Hey, Andy. Andy. He's a nice boy, Andy. Well, that little Judy Worth's a nice girl, too. Hi, Doc. Hello, Andy. Andy, Doc tells me that there's a war about to break out over you and Judy Worth. I know, Marshal. But I can't talk my paw in anything anymore than Judy can hers. If her mothers were alive, might be different. But the way it is, it's pretty hopeless. What do you mean hopeless? I guess I'd better stop trying to see her. That's all. Oh, that's a fine way to talk. Well, I don't want to, Doc. Then where's your spout, boy? Where's your get up and go? Don't you love the girl? Of course I love her. But you're going to let a couple of cantankerous, selfish old men beat you out of it. Doc. Why, you don't deserve her. What she needs is a man, not a whimpering kid, who turns back at the first sign of a little rain. Doc. Well, it's true, Matt, and you know it. But they'll never let us get married, Doc. What have they got to do with it? It isn't them who's getting married? I know. Well, I've thought of running off. I never said nothing to Judy about it, though. Don't talk about it, Act. Doc. If she won't go with you, then she doesn't love you as much as you think she does. Well, maybe you're right. What do you think, Marshall? It's not for me to decide, Andy. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. It's my business. Mine and Judy's. Yes. I better get going now. Goodbye. Goodbye, boy. Oh, Doc, you did a real good job. Yeah. You think he'll do it? I don't know. But if he does, there'll be war sure. And I know a broken down, romantic old country croaker we can blame it on. Oh, fiddle-faddle. You want those kids to get married just as much as I do. And anyway, it's time you started earning your pay around here. Well, I got things to do. Let me hear what happens, Matt. Yeah, don't worry, Doc. You'll hear. Pleasure packs more pleasure.

Chesterfield packs more pleasure because it's more perfectly packed by Chesterfield, mild, yet they satisfy the most. But it's lost its temper so far, Chesterfield. I reckon you'll be needing me anymore. No, I won't need you. You can go to bed. Somebody's sneaking in back. We're on the other side of the room, Chesterfield. It's Andy Bowers. Andy? Who's that in back of you? Come on, Judy. Hello, Marshall. Chester. Well, what are you two doing here? I got word to Judy and she sneaked off and met me. Doc was right, Marshall. She wanted to go. Of course I did. Well, what did you come here for? We're being followed, Marshall. We've got to hide somewhere. You can't stay here, Andy. I don't think of a way we can sneak out of Dodge, Marshall. But we can't do it tonight. You say you're being followed, though. Yeah. Judy's pawing a couple of these men. We lost them a few miles back, but they're sure to ride on into Dodge. Where'd you leave your horses? Oh, they're tied out in back. And I got to do something with them. Andy, your paw and Judy's are going to start a war over this, and you're putting me right in the middle of it. Don't you realize that? Well? I guess he's right, Andy. We can get him mixed up in it. But he's the only man around here we can trust. I know, but it isn't fair to put all this on him. Oh, maybe you're right, Judy. Come on. I'll think of something. But we better hurry before they catch us. Wait. Wait a minute. What, Marshall? Justin. Yes, sir? You go with Andy, take those horses down to Moss Grimmick's stable and tell him to hide them. Well, Moss knows how to do that, Mr. And put Andy up in the loft somewhere. Moss will understand. All right, sir. Oh, what about Judy? Now, you two get going. I'll take care of Judy. Oh, he's going to help us, Andy. He's going to help us. Yeah, I'm going to help you. But who's going to help me? I sure don't know. There was something out here. Well, hello, Judy. Hello, Doc. Look, Doc, I was wondering if Judy could stay here until she and Andy can get on out of town. I'm sure it'll surprise you that they're running away. They're running away? Oh, no, they are. Oh, well, isn't that wonderful? Yes, and we're going to make it to in spite of our fathers. You sure are. And you're welcome to stay right here as long as you want, Judy. Nobody will look for you here. Oh, that's real kind of you, Doc. Oh, no, no, it's just that I like the idea of people who want to get married just as much as you and Andy do. Yeah, well, I better get going. Uh, not you stay here, Judy, until you hear from me. You understand? All right, Marshal. I think I'll go with you, Matt. And now you can make yourself comfortable, Judy. Now I'll be back in a couple of hours and I'll bring you something to eat, huh? How's that? I'll be waiting for you, Doc, and thank you. Oh, you're a nice girl. Come on, Matt. I don't know why I got mixed up in this, but I'm sure in it now. Don't branch, Matt. You need a drink. Yeah, maybe I do, Doc. So look, Matt, it's Jake Worth. Who's that with him? His name's Abdrain, Doc. Abdrain? Yeah, Jake's heard himself a gunman and a pretty good one, too. Uh-oh. They've seen you. You stay out of the way, huh? Don't worry. Well, I haven't seen you in a long time, Ab. Cheyenne, wasn't it? Me and Jake have been looking for you, Marshal. How's that so? Where's Judy? Judy? No, don't lie to me, Marshal. You know where she is. You're going to tell me? Is that what Ab's for, Jake? So you can push people around more than ever? Never mind him. I never have. Have I, Ab? You'll get it someday, Marshal. Maybe I'm the one who'll give it here. Shut up, Ab. I don't want no fighting now. Why do you think I might know where Judy is, Jake? She was in your office, wasn't she? What? One of my men here in town saw her and that rotten, bowers kid right around back of your office. Now, where is she? All right, Jake. They were in my office, yeah. Keep talking, Marshal. Jake told you to shut up, Ab. Now I'm telling you. Never mind that. Where is she? Jake, why don't you and him at bars call this off before there's a lot of useless bloodshed? Neither one of you can win anything this way. I ain't even listening to you, Marshal. All right, then go on home and take Ab drain with you. Who do you think you're talking to, Marshal? You can't bluff me, Ab. You know that. You get moving. I ain't bluffing, Marshal. Stop it. I don't want no fighting, not yet. But I'm telling you this, Marshal. I'm going back to the ranch. And Judy's there in two hours, or I'm coming in here with every man I've got. And you know what I'll do. Don't be a fool, Jake. Let's go, Ab. They look mad, Matt. They're coming back in two hours, Doc, with an army. Oh, no. Well, what are you going to do? I'm going to get Jim Buck out of bed. He's driving an empty stage west tomorrow morning anyway. We'll leave tonight. And a preacher can tie a horse on behind long enough to get Judy and Andy married. Well, you stay behind to take on Jake's army. Is that it? Yeah, that's it, Doc.

Yet they satisfy the most. Less than an hour later, Jim Buck quietly drove his stage on a dodge. Couple of miles down the trail, he stopped long enough to witness the marriage of Judy Worth and Andy Bowers. And then he headed west as fast as his team could travel. Six hours later, I was sitting in the front room of Jake Worth's ranch house, stalling for time. As I had been ever since I got there. I am getting tired of this, Marshall. He'll be here any minute now, Jake. That'll be patient. I think he's lying to us, Jake. Will you quit poking and hauling at me? Oh, here they are. You may now stay outside and close that door. Bring her in here, Chester. I wouldn't know where she is, Mr. Worth. What? What are you saying? I'm saying the truth. Marshall, is this a trick? Yeah, Jake, it's a trick. Judy's a long way from here by now. And you'll never find her. Tell me where she is. Tell me her body heaven I'll kill you. I'm like Chester, Jake. I wouldn't know where she is. You lied to me. You said Chester was bringing her. Yeah, I lied to you, Jake. Marshall, so help me, Jake. Wait a minute, Jake. This is my job. Just get out of the way, Ab. You couldn't take him. Don't you try it, Ab. Watch me. Don't make me kill you, Jake. It's too late anyway. He's gone. It's too late for anything. Mr. Worth, get out of here. I'll call you when I want to. Just get out. Where is he going? Wait here a minute, Chester. This must be Judy's room, huh, Jake? I'll keep it for her. Like this. Maybe she'll come back and be. She won't be back, Jake. Don't say that. It's true. You might as well face it. And you drove her away. No. You and Emmett Bauer's both. If you had once thought of Andy and Judy instead of yourselves, they'd be here now. I don't blame them for running off. They wouldn't be any good if they hadn't. You helped. Why should they give up their happiness for a couple of mean, selfish old men? Sure I helped them. You and Emmett have been too busy hatin' each other to be of any use to anybody, especially your own kid. Marshall, I... I'm going to tell you one thing, Jake. They're married now. Married? That's right. Over until Emmett Bauer's about it. No, wait, wait, Marshall. Yeah, what? Think it might help if maybe I rode over to Emmett's with you. It might help you and Emmett, Jake. And it might help the kids, too, when they hear about it. In a moment, our star, William Conrad. Chesterfield packs more pleasure because Chesterfield's more perfectly packed.
