William Conrad as Matt Dillon (Gunsmoke Narrator/Character) (4:13)

Hey, waiter. Waiter. Now, what do you want? Coffee. A pot of it, if you don't mind, Mr. Green. Now, look here, cowboy. Sandy King's the name, Mr. Green. Don't you Mr. Green me. Okay, Hank, what's on your mind? Feeding you is on my mind. You've been eating here a whole week on credit, and you ain't paid a cent. Of course not. What do you mean, of course not? When a man eats on credit, he ain't supposed to pay, is he? Now, you look here. I'm broke, Hank. I'm broker than you are. Look at this place. They ain't got enough customers to pay for the water. The food's bad, Hank. That's the whole trouble. You've been eating it a whole week, you buzzard. Now, it ain't that bad. Sandy, you got more nerve than any man I ever met. But nerve ain't money, and I can't afford to feed you no more. So that's that. Well, now, Hank, maybe I have been kind of taking advantage of you. You've got a real easy way of putting things. I'll make up for it. How? Go out there and fire that drunken cook you got. I'll take over for a week. How's that? You take over what, cooking? Yeah. Well, how do I know you're any better than he is? Well, I'm not drunk. That'll be some improvement, won't it? I don't know, but you're right, he is a drunk. That'll do it. But you better be good. Only one way to find out. My, oh, my, that's good. That is good. Oh, Chester, good food is no excuse for hog manners. Any way a man can get it down in spare, the way I see it. But you're not the one who has to see it. We are. Oh, Doc, let him eat teeth. The first good food we've had in Del Monica was in years. Hello, Miss Kitty. Chester. Doc. Hello. How are you getting on here? Fine. I've eaten here three times a day for a week, and it's getting better and better. Cook of yours was a real fine, huh? He's a good boy, Sandy is. I'm gonna put him on pay after today. And I'm gonna pay him well, too. Are you sure? Well, with the trail herd starting to arrive, you're gonna get rich with him. Out in the kitchen, Hank. They say the word's gone clean to Texas already. Things have sure changed around here. Yeah, I hear you put a leg iron on him at night and chain him to the bed. I think I'll start doing that. Bear. You ready to leave, Chester? I don't know whether I can move or not. Maybe you better try, Chester. Hank's got other customers waiting. Oh, that's all right, Miss Kitty. We have to go anyway, Hank. Yeah, but we'll. We'll be back this evening. Well, come early. Avoid the ride. I'll be here at sundown. Good. Good. Bye now. Bye. Hey, waiter. Oh, no. Waiter, come on over here. Hey, Joe. Yes, sir? You better go over and see what that man wants. Hey, wait. I was fixing to clean this table off Mr. Green. Joy, take care of him first. Yes, sir. Now get somebody else to clean the table. It's about time. What's the trouble? I told you I wanted these eggs turned over. Oh, so you take him back and you just be quick about it. Ain't going to sit here all day. We've got to eat and you order eggs. Never mind what I ordered. Just take them away and bring them back done right, you egg. All right, all right. And don't take all day with bring couches. I don't have enough work to do. Hey, Sandy, the man wants his ex turned over. I ain't got time. You better. He's pretty mean about it. I don't care how mean he is. What do you order eggs for anyway? We ain't serving breakfast. He's half drunk. Maybe he thinks it's breakfast. All right. Here. There. They're turned over. Take them back to him. Oh, no, no, Sandy. Now you just make him mad. He wanted them cooked more. I turned them over like he asked, didn't I? Yeah, but he won't know the difference. Well, maybe not, but what if he does? Then tell him to go eat someplace else. Okay, sonny, but I don't think that you can fool him even if he is half drunk. Where was I? Oh, yeah. One steak. Beans, potatoes. Hey, cook. What do you want? That was awful smart what you done. I told you that make you mad? Nobody fools me like that. Now, you wanted your eggs turned over, didn't you? I show you what I think of your age. You? Certainly. Now look what you done. That'll teach him to shove his eggs in my face. Ah, but you could have killed him with that skillet. Throw some water on him and get him out of here. Now wait a minute. What, Sandy, he's dead. What? You killed him? Yeah. Look, don't tell nobody about this. Are you crazy? I mean, for a while. Give me a half hour. I've got a horse over at the stable. They'll never catch me. What? What? What? Sandy? Say goodbye to Hank Green for me.

Top names of show business beat a well trodden path every weekend to Mitch Miller's lair. You hear their plans, their dreams, the backstage shop talk that makes this weekly program fascinatingly informative. Remember, on most of these same stations Saturday, the Mitch Miller Show. I swear. I just can't believe it, Mr. Dillon. Sandy killing a man like that. He lost his temper, I guess. Poor old Hank Green. Sure gonna miss him. So's everybody else in Dodge, for that matter. Including you, huh? Oh, my goodness, yes. Well, he's the best cook Del Monica's ever had. Maybe it was just an accident like that waiter said. Even so, Chester, he killed a man. He's gotta stand trial for it. Mr. Dunn, that sun's getting mighty low. Can you still see the track? Yeah, they lead toward that hill over there. Let's move. What if we don't find him before dark? They'll have to sleep on the prairie and pick up his trail in the morning. Hold up, Chester. My land. All right. That's the longest, strongest out bunch of cattle I've saw in quite a spell. Not gonna be much help to us. It was a river we could swim across. There's nothing to do but wait, Mr. Dillon. Here comes one of the men. Maybe he saw Sandy. Hello. Howdy. Headed for Dodge? Yeah. Hey, you're a lawmaker. Dillon. U.S. marshal. My name's Purdy. I'm trail boss of this outfit. What are you doing out here, Marshal? Looking for a man. But your herd cut right across his trail. Maybe he's seen us come and done it on purpose, and he's smart enough. Well, I always like to see a man get away. Nothing personal, Marshall. I understand. How's the cattle market in Dodge, Marshall, holding up? Holding up fun good. Ain't no trail ripe for the fun of it. Well, I better get all up ahead and tell them to start milling the herd. It'll be dark before long. I don't like to push cattle after dark. I appreciate you not trying to cut through them. March. We can wait. Say, I hear there's a good cook in Dodge for a change. A fellow come down the trail yesterday told us about it. There was. Ain't he still there? He's the man we're after. Oh. Well, the men were kind of looking forward to a good meal. Marshall, he killed a man pretty. I'm sorry to hear that. I'll tell the men. But they ain't gonna like it, Marshall. I'll tell them I don't like it either. Well, so on. You think Candy King was the only good cook in Kansas? You know a better one? Well, I don't guess I do. You. You think we lost his trail? If we ever get across there, we might pick it up. We'll have to make camp and wait for daylight. Now, boy, we'll get some feed and rest and be on our way. You shut up there. What? What do you want here? Well, say something. I ain't gonna harm you. Now, could you? I got a shotgun. Enough. Now, don't be scared, miss. I ain't gonna hurt you. That's close enough. All right. How come you put your horse in our barn? I had to get him out of the sun, didn't I? You don't mind if I rest a minute before moving on? Well, I guess it's all right now. You don't need that. Shotgun. Must be getting kind of heavy. Well, I didn't know who you was. My name's Sandy. What's yours, Effie? Gus Jayhorn's my pa. Guess you've heard of him. Inches? I have. Is he around someplace? The road north today. We got a water hole up by Shale Bluff. Oh, and your ma? I never knew my ma. Effie, you got any cold water up the house? Yes, we do. Could I have some? If it's not too much bother. I'm terrible thirsty. I guess it would be all right. There's no bother to it. Come on. You know something, Evie? What? I don't really need that drink of water. You don't? I was passing by through the trees there, and I seen you come out of the house. I wanted to say hello, that's all. I wanted to meet you, Evie. What? What for? Cause you're the prettiest gal I ever seen. You must know lots of gals. No. No, I'm a lonely man, Effie. Mighty lonely man. A drifter, Effie. I guess I never found no reason to settle down. But that's bad for a person. I mean, everybody should have somebody, don't you think? That ain't always easy to find, Effie. No. We were trained. I've heard of it happening, though. Just like that, when you least expect it. Right out of a clear blue sky. Tell me about it. All right. All right, I'll tell you about it. Effie. Come on in the house, Sandy. All right, mister. Pa. Don't shoot him. I heard you cooing in here. Look, Mr. Strayhorn, it's not what you think. I wondered whose horse that was in the barn. How long you known this boy? We just met, Pa. I'd shoot you right here, boy, but I don't want to mess up the place. Now, get outside. Pa, please listen to me. You don't want to watch. You stay in the house, Evie. Pa. You can't shoot a man for one kid. It's all right, Effie. You can't stop him. Nobody can stop me. Outside. Pa, please. Please listen to me. Pa, he didn't do anything. Please, Pa, honest. Now, you move right over there, mister. That's far enough, Pa. Oh, look. What's going on here? Well, you won't shoot him now, Pa. You know this man? You're Marshal Dillon, ain't you? That's right. Now, put that gun away. Okay. That don't mean I ain't gonna kill him. He don't know me, Marshall. He don't know nothing about me. You mean he's wanted by the law? A murder? Oh, no. He's a murderer at a booth. Gal, you sure can flick him. Can't. Well, Sandy, looks like we got here just in time, doesn't it? Just save me for a hanging. A cord will decide that. Where's your horse? In the barn. Go get it, Chester. Well, he sure made himself right to home. There's gall for you, ain't it? Let's go, Sandy. Ms. John. What? Chester, come here. Look at yonder. They're forming a mob. Looks like those trail hands we ran across on the prairie. Purdies, men. Bird sure does get around fast, don't it? When it comes to trouble, it does. He ain't back in town five minutes and there they are and all over Sandy. Just because he's a good cook. It also gives them a chance to show up the law if they can. They're always wanting to do that, ain't they? If they could force me to turn Sandy loose, they'd have a free hand in this town. But they haven't done it yet. Where are you gonna lose that shotgun? You stay inside. All right, listen to me. Andy King is in jail because he killed a man. And he'll stay there until he gets a trial. Men want him out, Marshal. Now, Purdy, I'm afraid I can't oblige him. Are all these your men? Some of them, I reckon. Most of mine are here, Marshal. I didn't expect to find a man like you taking part in a mob. They tell me some drunk throw the plate of eggs in that cook face. Marshall, that's no reason to kill a man. Well, the cook did hit him, but they say he didn't mean to kill him. You'll get a trial on a fair one. I can't help you, Marshall. The men want him out. Marshall. Marshall, you got yourself 10 minutes. Now, if any king ain't out here in 10 minutes, we're going to start shooting. And so do I. Now, 10 minutes. Man, that's all he's got. Looks bad, don't it, Mr. John? Yeah, well, I locked up out back. Nobody can't get in there without us hearing it good. What are you doing with that shotgun? Well, there's going to be a shooting. I ain't going to get left out of it. This is a part of the game you don't have to sit in on. Chester. It's all right. I ain't got nothing else to do. You march a Dylan. I am marshal. Texas Rangers. Can I come in? Come on in. I just pulled into town. What's a mob for? Trailhead's trying to show up the law. What can I do for you? Well, I got a warrant here. Marshall. Heard the man was headed toward Dodge. Let me see it. You know him? He's dead, Grizzly. Dead. What is it, Ms. Dillon? This is an arrest word for Ed Fisher. There's a reward. Dead or alive. Ed Fisher. Well, I'll be doggone. Who killed it? Man, I got locked up in jail for it. Sandy King, that that crowd's all about. Yeah. Prisoner seems to be a popular man, Marsh. He's a good cook. He's a good cook. Chester, go tell Sandy the news and let him out as soon as I break up this mob. Yes, sir. Come with me, Grizzle. All right, man, listen to me. This is Joe Grissom, Texas Ranger. He just brought me a warrant for the arrest of Ed Fiser. That's the man Sandy killed. He was wanted dead or alive. Why you turn him loose, Marshall? He's got no reason to hold him there. All right. All right, I got no choice. I'll turn Sandy loose. But first you break this mob up and get out of here. We want him. Now, wait a minute. No mob ever ruled me yet, or no mob ever will. You men clear out of here. Start shooting. All right, man, go have a drink. You turn and we'll. Yeah, Marshall. He'd just better be out in time to cook supper, y'. All. Well, Marshall, you got what you're after. You made him break up. Yeah. Tell me something. How'd this Sandy King kill Ed Fisher anyway? He hit him on the head with an iron skillet. That he was provoked. I think the judge would let him off pretty easy. You're going to a lot of trouble to bring him to trial, weren't you? Wouldn't you have grizzled? Yeah. Yeah, I would. I kind of thought so. Here he is, Ms. Jones. Sandy, this is Joe Grissom. Howdy. Howdy. Chester told me all about it. I'm a free man, huh? Yeah. Free man. Here's a 500 reward. Mr. Fisher was wanted dead or alive. Well, now, I'm mighty broke, it's true, but I'm afraid that kind of money just wouldn't do me any good, Grissom. Thanks just the same. Whatever you say. Well, Marshall, I'll be moving on, I guess. Moving on? Yeah, I've always had a hankering to see California. Chester, I guess this is as good a time as any. Look here, everybody's expecting you back at Delmonico to cook up a whole batch of fancy vittles. What do you think this whole row is about anyway? Tell him I'm sorry, Chester. I was just cooking to pay off a debt. I don't want to make a living at it. Besides, I hate cooking. Well, I'll be doggone. Go on. Go along, Marshall. Ms. Dillon, ain't you gonna stop him? The men are gonna be awful mad. He's a free man, Chester. Funny thing is, that's how the men wanted it. Hi, this is Dennis James. Say, remember way back when this melody was popular? There's something very special about a long time favorite, isn't there? Well, folks feel the same way about one of Kellogg's favorites, Kellogg's all brand. Going on 41 years now, it's been America's most popular good food way to fight irregularity from lack of both. Because it's whole bran, Kellogg's All Brand gentles away irregularity safely and reliably. And because it's deep toasted for extra crispness, it never gets mushy in milk. There's only one All Brand. Kellogg's All Brand. That's a double L hyphen. B R, A N. Kellogg's Gunsmoke, produced and directed in Hollywood by Norman MacDonald, stars William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. marshal. The story was specially written for Gunsmoke by John Meston and adapted for radio by Frank Paris. Featured in the cast were Sam Edwards, Vic Perrin, John Dana, Gene Bates, Ben Wright, Harry Bartel and Larry Dobkin. Harley Baer As Chester, Howard McNear as Doc and Georgia Ellis as Kitty.
