Make today your big red letter day. Change to L M. Superior taste. Superior filter. America's best filter tip cigarette. 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. Gun smoke. Starring William Conrad. The transcribed 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 chancy job, and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely. Oh, who's that? Oh, why don't you open the door? Maybe you'll find out. Justin, I never heard of nobody knocking on this door before. Major Harris, Mr. Dillon from Fort Dodge. Come in, Major. Marshal Dillon. Sit down, sit down. I'll stand. Thanks. Marshall, last Saturday, two United States army soldiers were murdered while driving a supply wagon from here to Fort Dodge. Government payroll was stolen, and you seem to have taken no interest whatsoever in the matter. Well, now, Major, protecting the army isn't exactly my job. The army can protect itself, Marshal. Then how come there were only two soldiers carrying your payroll? Where was the rest of your army? On maneuvers. On maneuvers? In my command, troops remain in garrison as little as possible. And you were asking for trouble, Major, knowing there was a payroll coming in. Marshall, the arrival of the payroll was secret. Even the two men carrying it didn't know what it was. Somebody knew. Yes, they didn't. Marshall, I regard this crime as a demonstration of your inability to control these Dodge City ruffians. What? I mean it. If no arrests are made in the matter, I'll give these bad men of yours a taste of martial law. We'll see how they like that. Now, wait a minute. This town will be patrolled 24 hours a day. Look, Major, you don't know these men. You run the army in here and they'll fight. There'll be trouble, bad trouble. They brought it on themselves. No, you made a mistake and you gotta find somebody to blame it on. I want whoever committed those murders and I want that money, Marshal, within a week. And if any more crimes are committed against the army, meantime, we'll take this town over at once. Good day, gentlemen. Hello, Matt. Evening, Kitty. This is Marshall, Dylan, Jenny. Matt, this is Jenny Lane. How do you do, Jenny? Pleased to meet you, Marshall. Sit down, Matt. Ah, you're new in Dodge, aren't you, Jenny? Oh, I've been here most a month now. Oh, she's only been working at the Long Branch about a week, Matt. Ah, how do you like it? Fine, but I'm Kind of worried now, huh? It's his army business everybody's talking about. Will it be bad, Marshall? Yeah, it could be. You think it'll happen? Might. Especially if there's any more trouble. Say, Jenny, has your corporal been in? He was earlier. Well, how do the soldiers feel about all this? Well, he says they sure aren't anxious to mix it with all these gunmen and buffalo hunters and the like. But he's not my corporal, Kitty. He's just a lonely kid. He's not so lonely. He spends more time here than he does at the fort. How does he manage it, anyway? Well, they made him a clerk, a sort of a bookkeeper. His time's pretty much his own. He's lucky. Good, safe job, too. Yeah, I suppose it is. Well, I better get busy. I'm glad to have met you, Marshall. Glad to have met you, Jilly. I'll see you again. Sure. Nice girl. Where's she from? Kidding. Hays City last. What? What's the name of this corporal who's been sniffing around? Stark. Corporal Stark's all I ever heard. What else do you know about Jenny, huh? She doesn't talk much about herself, Matt. Well, maybe you can get her to, huh? All right, I'll try. Meantime, I'm going to wire the sheriff in Hay City. He might know something. You must have some reason for all this interest, Matt. No, I haven't, kiddy. But I might find a reason for him. Make today your big red letter day. Your L and M red letter day. Superior taste and filter. It's the miracle tip. Make today your big red letter day. Change to L and M today. L&M's got everything. Superior taste and superior filter.

Mr. Jones just come in. Oh. What? The answer to that telegraph you sent to Hay City last night, huh? Here. Oh, thanks. I don't know what it says or anything. Jenny Lane left Hayes about a month ago with a stranger called Nate Brand. Nothing against girl, but believe Brand a wild one. Regards, Clint Adams. Never heard of no. Nate Brand? No, neither have I. What's he doing? Hiding him somewhere. Matt. Yeah. What is it, Doc? Trouble. Oh? What kind of trouble? A shooting out behind the Texas Trail. What? It's bad, Mance, Real bad. Shooting's always bad, Doc. Yes, but this one's gonna lead to a lot more shooting. Somebody just killed a soldier. There he is. Planning them weeds over there. How come there's no crowd around here? There isn't a man in sight. No. Who told you about this, Doc? The bartender. He said he heard a shot and went out back and found him. He sure looks dead, all right. He's dead. Is that all the bartender had to say? That's about all. Except that when he went back into the saloon and told everybody there about it, they didn't move a hair. I guess maybe they was thinking about the army taking over Dodge. Why didn't the bartender come to me first? Well, I don't know, Mabbit. I've got the feeling that maybe nobody knows whether you're going to be on their side or the Army's. They never do trust me, do they? Chester. Chester, give Doc a hand here. I'm right not to. Fort DOD. Marshal Dillon. Hello, Major. What brings you to Fort Dodge, Marshall? Murder. What murder? A soldier. Uh huh. Who? I don't know. Some private. Dodge City. Of course. That's right. Have you arrested the murderer? Nobody saw it happen, Major. I see. Marshal, you leave me no choice. Wait a minute, Major. I didn't ride out here just to bring you the news. I want something from you. From me? I want you to keep all the soldiers out of Dodge for the next 48 hours. Put it off limits. That's not exactly what I had in mind. Less a major. Dodge City's an armed camp. It's full of men who fought Indians, who fought the war between the states, who fought each other ever since they could spit. They'll fight you next. That'll make you hate it. They can't fight the army. They can and they will. And a lot of men will die on both sides. But I'll make you a deal, Major. A deal? You give me 48 hours and I'll find your killers. You better take it because it'll get you out of a lot of trouble. All right. But I want the criminals delivered here to me. Sure, but I might have to kill them to get them here. Matt. Oh, Matt. Ah. Hello, Doc. I've been waiting for you to get back. Oh. Anything more happened? Not yet. But I found a letter on that soldier. His name was Ravage. Anything else? Yes. I dug the bullet out of him, Matt. And you know something? I haven't seen lead like that since I mustered out in 65. Now, what do you mean, Doc? That soldier was shot with a cavalry pistol. He was? I'd swear to it. Thanks, Doc. I'll see you later. Now where you going? Into the Long Branch. I want to talk to a friend of Min. I've been expecting you, Matt. Ah, have you, Kitty? Jester was in a while ago. He told me about that telegram from Hays City. Look, Kitty, I gotta work fast. There's gonna be a war around here soon. I found out a couple of interesting things, Matt. One is Jenny's been seen riding horseback at night towards the Arkansas, down by Brandy Bend. It might have something to do with that man she left Hay City with. Nate Brand? Yeah. I think he's hiding out down near Brandy Bend. Any idea why? Corporal Stark and Jenny went for a ride one night. When was that? The night before that army payroll was robbed. Where's Jenny now, Kitty? Over at Delmonico's having supper. Kitty. What? I'm the only one who can ever thank you for it, but I think you just saved an awful lot of lives. Evening, Jenny. Well, hello, Marshall. Won't you sit down? You sure Corporal Stark won't mind? Don't be silly. Besides, he's out at the fort. How? When did you see him last? Oh, about noon, I guess. Uh huh. Anybody with him? Private Rabbits. Corporal Stark didn't shoot him, Marshall. They were good friends. They worked together in the bookkeeping office. I see. That's a pretty good job, isn't it? Handling expenses, figuring out the payroll, things like that. I don't know. He never talked about it much. Also, he'd be in a good spot to know when to expect payroll money in, wouldn't he? Even when it was kept secret. You'd have to ask him, Marshall. But this isn't why you found me here, is it? No, of course not. Jenny. I'm sorry. You look real pretty tonight. Thank you, Marshall. You really mean that? Sure. Sure, I mean it, Marshall. I have to work late tonight, but I can get off tomorrow. I know it's bold of me, but couldn't we maybe take a ride together? There'll be a moon. Oh, where would we ride to, Jenny? I don't know. Anywhere. Maybe down along the Arkansas. I know. Let's ride down toward Brandy Bend. All right, Jenny. We'll ride down toward Brandy Bend. Make today your big red letter day. Your L and M red letter day. Superior Taste and filter. It's the miracle tip. Make today your big red letter day. Change to L and M today. Today L&M's got everything. Superior taste and superior filter. Get L and M today. This is it. L and M. Superior taste and filter. Superior taste from tobaccos especially selected for filter.

L&M's got everything. Get L and M today. The idea of a moonlight ride by the river with as pretty a girl as Jenny Lane was fine, except that it was gonna end with a man dead. Either me or her friend Nate Brand. She was obviously leading me into an ambush, and there wasn't a thing I could do but go cheerfully along. I met her the next night. We started out but a mile or so before we got to Brandy Bend. I pulled up and suggested we dismount and let the horses blow a little. They won't run away, will they? The horses? No, I don't worry. Ah, here's a good place to sit. What's the matter? You nervous, Jenny? No. No, of course not. Sit down. Take it easy then. All right. This better? Sure. Yeah. It's a nice night, isn't it? Yeah. That's beautiful. You're not even looking at it. Is I'm on your mind, Jenny? No. Why should there be? Why? You tell me. That's nothing, Marshall, really. Let me ask you something, Jenny. Did you ever see a man killed? What? Why'd you say that? What, did you? Yeah. Once, in a saloon. Tell me, did he have a fair chance? Of course. He even drew first. Then you never saw a man shot in the back or ambushed, huh? What are you driving at, Marshall? Oh, I'm just thinking about people, Jenny. Like sometimes a person isn't really bad. He just falls into bad company. What's that got to do with me? And I think it sort of goes against your grain, the idea of a man being killed without a fair chance. Why'd you come with me, Marshall? Somebody had to. I suppose you know about everything. I think Private Ravage got killed by Corporal Stark because he found out about the payroll deal between you and Stark and Nate Brand. Sure. Well, what are you gonna do now? Gonna ride to Brandy Bend with you. But why? Because I'm gambling that you're still decent enough inside to let me have that fair chance I was talking about. That's quite a gamble, Marshall. Yeah, but we'll ride slow and you'll have a little time to think. Yeah, I'd make a nice camp down here. Plenty of wood. Get your water right out of the river there. It's real nice. Don't you think, Jenny? Man could hide out real easy down here. Marshall, I could be safe here. Even while the army was trying to move into Dodge and a lot of men were being killed over here. Yeah, it's real peaceful down here. Marshall, I can't do it. All right, tell me, Jenny. That big cottonwood up ahead on the left. Okay, now, keep moving. When we get close, I'm gonna ride ahead fast. You stay back out of gunfire, all right? Yeah, it sure is pretty down here, Jenny. Maybe someday we can come down and go fishing, huh? This river's full of catfish. You ever eat a real catfish dinner? That can be mighty good if they're small enough. All right, stay back. Jenny. Jenny. Jenny. He's dead. Jenny. No. I had to do it. I know. I'll be all right, Marshall. Sure he killed your horse. I'll show you where he hid his and the payroll money. Okay, Jenny, then you can take me back to jail. Yeah, but there's one thing, Jenny. What you did tonight's gonna get you out of jail real soon. Because I'm gonna see you get your chance too. And now, our star, William Conrad. I'm telling you, the day you change to L M, well, that's the day. Your big red letter day. No filter stacks up with L M's. Pure white miracle tip. And I know you'll go for L. M's taste. Superior taste you get from L M's. Superior to backers. Richer, tastier tobaccos. Next time, look for those big red letters on the L. M pack.
