 city and in the territory on west there's just one way to handle the killers of the spoilers and that's with a u.s. Marshall and the smell of guns smoke Marshall the first man they look for it's a chance a job and it makes a man watchful this ain't much room take a look out the window a lot more dust down there you couldn't see Dodge at all that'd be an improvement but things will work out you got a short memory quarter didn't work out so good up in deadwood or at least we didn't get shot now things will go better here in here hope so what kind of law man they got here on so we'll find out ought to be along any minute now I sent word would like to have a talk right away it's about you out here and by the way who's going to do the talking this time I'll do it just that's him you let me handle this now right come in my name is Matt Dullin I'm Ben Corder Marshall and here's my partner Harry Duggan hello that noise Marshall you asked me to come here you said it was urgent it is Marshall it is now Duggan and me see we're business partners whenever we come to a new town like Dodge here we like to get to know where he's running the place that way we figured there won't be any misunderstanding later on uh-huh that's what is your business gentlemen well Marshall we're gamblers now what do you want of me dodges an open town we make money gambling Marshall sometimes a lot of money we just want you to know in advance you'll get your share and a lot of man caught on as long as I am there won't be any crooked games oh no Marshall you know sometimes how a player will just lose a little money then start a fuss over it maybe even go to the law about it when he does he's usually been cheated before he gets to the law there's another killing now you can run your game corner but you keep it straight or out you go both of you that's not friendly Marshall you've made one mistake trying to bribe me you make another in your through and dodge with him hard nose Marshall's huh you'll find out something that mister good gentlemen you handled him great quarter just great oh don't be a fool no better than anybody else got an idea we'll persuade him yeah hey Chester of the Brisbane all right Mr. Jones just sleeping off his drunk well pretty late I think I'll get out of here and go to bed all right don't forget to put the lap out before you leave the office just do where you are can you crawl over and put the one about just stay low a poor shooting if he wanted to hit me what do you mean I think he was trying to scare me show me how they treat the law where he comes from them to them maybe but I can't be sure I'm gonna take the rifle go out the back way no no no thank you Chester was an earlier man told me about you getting shot at last night well I didn't get hit you might have especially a man with a rifle well admit I don't like the idea of being ambushed I prefer to do my fight in the open any idea who was after you last night well it might have been one of those two men watching us from the bar over there huh maybe both of them they look like gamblers to me they are the one who just headed this way causing himself then quarter there's gonna be trouble now they won't be just sit still evening Marshall hello all right pretty girl say what you gotta say quarter you're making hard to be friends Marshall I just wanted to tell you I heard that you got shot at last night so well I'm sorry it happened Marshall I sure don't envy a man who has to be a law man it's mighty dangerous besides it usually don't pay very good you think I have a thrill about it quarter quit and all that ain't necessary much or if you're smart you can stay right here and make more money and take less chances to I didn't know for sure it was you quarter but I know it now I mean there's a stage out of dodge in about a half hour you and ducking are gonna be on it oh no we're opening our new game across the street tonight I'll take your gun quarter wait a minute Marshall you can't do that yes I can but you won't you and you are nice to have around their sense of humor never loses track of its goal to keep you entertained and when Amos and Andy or their friends aren't up to mischief they keep you in a happy state of mind with music the songs they play and the things that they say couldn't be brighter couldn't be easier on the air so get in on the happy doings at CBS radios Amos and Andy music hall remember it's always a joy to hear all right I was there to see him do it and just before it pulled out I unloaded their guns and tossed them onto the floor inside then they left and I forgot about them I figured those two like so many others that I'd run out of dodge and keep going and make their trouble somewhere else but a couple weeks later I found out I'd figured wrong I was walking up Fun Street one even with duck they're right inside the long bench there Mr. John I just saw them game we're quarter and dug in and they got somebody else with them stranger I'll see you later Dr. Oh yes sure man you brought a man with us to sort of look after our it you won't buffalo him so easy you really Marshall here yeah I didn't mention no names what are you talking about what is the talk Marlon of our old friends quarter we worked and wrote a long time together they went through quite a lot than we took too much I remember so you've sold your gun to these two that right that's right you're here to kill me yeah I'm here to kill you it's a bad feeling to me talk more than again after some 15 years and having standard at the bar the long branch hired by a couple of crooked gamblers to kill me talk and I had run horses together over in New Mexico until the night we rode into Silver City and got taken by a drunken mob and beaten after that the next day when I found out we weren't the men that they wanted it was too late something had gone wrong inside talk and as soon as he was able he'd written off without a word I never saw him again until now along you've been a Marshall long time took I never figured lawman for much I want to talk to you so come on over to the table no you don't Marshall not out of the car to tell them people I gamble a little why do you do it I don't like people much not after what happened in Silver City you recovered from that beating we both did we were young it was a long time ago maybe my memory is better than yours now I know that isn't it we both changed after that took sure it did but we changed in different ways you hate everybody I just hate mobs that's one reason I became a lawman there was a lawman helping them that night in Silver City here's the sheriff there are good sheriffs and bad like Marshall yeah I suppose it's kind of too bad you're a Marshall man you're going through with us anyway I never back off from the fight what if I won't fight you you don't have to I get paid anyway but you'll have to leave Dodge you think I'll do that no but I'll give you 24 hours to think it over I took that gives you 24 hours to I don't change talks nothing to me but money is it adds to the pleasure when I ask you something talk what you enjoy killing me you ain't Matt Dylan your US Marshall same as the sheriff same as the one who helped them have killed me you too in Silver City took your stupid you don't think maybe but I'm pretty good gentlemen yeah sure you can let Corder and Duggan run their game here or you can quit it's a crooked game and the fights might not die now I got a job to talk 24 hours more okay 24 hours you're looking mighty long today man I might you should be why I've been off the Dodge house Jim Dobie down with a guy again but there's a lot of talk man I know you must have your reasons but people are sure wondering what those two gamblers are doing back in town after you ran him out I'll all be subtle tonight back I'm glad to hear don't go to bed early huh might need you a fight man you didn't have any trouble before that other fellow they brought with now that one ain't there no way at all to stop him Mr. John I don't know if that's what I've been trying to think of somewhere if there's anything in this world I hate it up a gunman I got no use for a man that can be bought for money money's important to talk I don't see how you know where talk is no well he was in the long back a little bit ago good I'll be back later well Marshall Dylan sit down Marshall you know miss kitty here oh Matt kitty we've been talking about you mean kitty he's been talking about
