Around Dark 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. Starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moves white. And the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man. Matt Dillon, the 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. This ain't much of a room, Cor. Take a look out the window. It ain't much of a town. Wouldn't need a whole lot more dust down there. You couldn't see Dodge at all. That'd be an improvement. But things will work out. Always have, haven't they? You got a short memory. Quarter didn't work out so good up in Deadwood. Well, at least we didn't get shot. Now things will go better here. We sure hope so. What kind of lawman they got here? I wonder. Soon find out. Ought to be along any minute now. I sent word we'd like to have a talk right away at the Dodge house. Here. And by the way, who's going to do the talking this time? I'll do it. I guess that's him. You let me handle this now. All right. Come in. My name is Matt Dulles. I'm Ben Corder, Marshall. This here's my partner, Harry Duggan. Hello. That noy, 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 whoever's running the place. And that way we figure there won't be any misunderstanding later on. Uh huh. Just what is your business, gentlemen? Marshall, we're gamblers. Now, what do you want of me? Dodgers in 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 of it. I'm a lawman, Carter. And 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 and then start a fuss over it? Maybe even go to the law about it. And when he does, he's usually been cheated. And before he gets to the law, there's another killing. Now, you can run your game, Carter, but you keep it straight, or out you go. Both of you. That's not friendly, Marshal. You've made one mistake trying to bribe me. Make another and you're through. And dodge one of them Hide nosed marshals, huh? You'll find out soon enough, mister. Good day, 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 yet. Chester. Hey, Chester. Chester. How's the prisoner? Oh, he's all right, Mr. Dillon. Just sleeping off his drunk. Well, getting pretty late. I think I'll get out of here and go to bed. All right, sir. Oh, don't forget to put the lamp out before you leave the office, huh? No, sir. I won't get out. No, just stay where you are. Chester, can you crawl over and put the lamp out? Just stay low. He's through. Why was going after you, Mr. Dillon? He had a rifle, Chester. And he was in an alley just across the street. That was mighty 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 two gamblers? Yeah, maybe, but I can't be sure. Take a rifle. Go out the back way. Hello, Max. Evening, Kitty. Sit down. Thank you. It's kind of crowded in here tonight. I'll get you a drink. Oh, no, no, no. No, thanks. Chester was an earlier map. He told me about you getting shot at last night. Huh? Well, I didn't get hit anyway. You might have. Especially a man with a rifle. I'll admit I don't like the idea of being ambushed. I prefer to do my fighting 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 calls himself Ben Corder. There's gonna be trouble now. There won't be. Just sit still. Evening, Marshall. Hello. Right pretty girl. Say what you gotta say, Carter. You make it 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. Man, it's mighty dangerous. Besides, it usually don't pay very good. What do you think I ought to do about it? Quarter quit. No, that ain't necessary, Marshall. Cause if you're smart, you can stay right here and make more money and take less chances, too. I didn't know for sure it was you, Corter, but I know it now. What do you mean? There's a stage out of Dodge in about a half hour. You And Duggan are gonna be on it. Oh, no. We're opening our new game across the street tonight. I'll take your gun, Corter. Wait a minute, Marshall. You can't do that. Yes, I can. But you won't. You. Want your gun next? Sure, Marshall, sure. Turn around. Put your hands on a bar. All right, now go pick up your partner. You're right in the stage north tonight. Get going, Duggin. And they'll never come back. Either one of you. At home or out on the highway. Amos and Andy 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 ear. So get in on the happy doings at CBS Radio's Amos and Andy Music Hall. Remember, it's always a joy. They got on the stage all right. I was there to see them 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, would keep going and make their trouble somewhere else. But a couple of weeks later I found out I'd figured wrong. I was walking up Front street one evening with Doc. I don't know what you doing. Hello, Doc. Hi, Chester. How are you? They're right inside the long branch there, Mr. Dylan. I just saw them. Oh, who you see them? Gamblers Carter and Dugan. And they got somebody else with them. Some stranger. Ah. I'll see you later, Doc. Oh, yes, sure, man. There they are down at the end of the barn there. All. All three of them. Here he is to. That's him. We're back, Marshall. We brought a man with us to sort of look after our Indians. You won't buffalo him so easy. Hello to you. Really? Marshal here? Yeah, didn't I tell you? They didn't mention no names. What are you two talking about? What is this? Toque? Marlon and I are old friends quarter. We worked and wrote a long time together. We went through quite a lot. Then we talked too much. I remember now. You've sold your gun to these two, huh? Is that right? That's right. And you're here to kill me. Yeah, I'm here to kill you. It was a bad feeling to meet Toque Moreland again after some 15 years and having Standing at the bar of the Long Branch. Hired by a couple of crooked gamblers to kill me. Token. 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 half to death. The next day, when they found out we weren't the men that they wanted, it was too late. Something had gone wrong inside Toque. And as soon as he was able, he'd ridden off without a word. I never saw him again. Until now. How long you been a marshal? Long time. Tough, I never figured. Long enough for much. I want to talk to you, T. Come on over to the table. Yeah. No, you don't. Marshall Carter. Come on, Tuck. Is this your profession now, Tuck? Killing people? I gamble a little. Why do you do it, Took? I don't like people much. Not after what happened in Silver City. You recovered from that beaten? We both did. We were young. That was a long time ago. Maybe my memory is better than yours. No, now, that isn't it. We both changed after that Took. We sure 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. He was the sheriff. There are good sheriffs in bed. Like Marshall. Yeah, I suppose. Kind of. Too bad you're a Marshall man. You're going through with this 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. All right, Tuck. That gives you 24 hours, too. I don't change. Talk's nothing to me. But money is, huh? It adds to the pleasure. Want to ask you something, Tuck. What? Do you enjoy killing me? You ain't Matt Dillon. You're U.S. marshal. Same as the sheriff. Same as the one who helped him half kill me. You two in Silver City? Tokyo. Stupid. You don't think? Maybe. But I'm a pretty good gentleman. Yeah, sure. You can let Cordra and Duggan run their game here, or you can quit. It's a crooked game. Empty fights, men at die. Now I got a job too. Took 24 hours, Marshall. Okay, 24 hours. Oh, hello, Mrs. I never could remember her name. Oh, hello, Matt. Hello, Doc. You're looking mighty glum today, ma. Oh, am I? You should be. Why? I've been over at the Dodge house. Jim Dobie's down with the guy again. But there's a lot of talk night. I know you must have your reasons. But people are sure wondering what those two gamblers are doing back in town. You ran them out. That'll all be settled tonight, Doc. I'm glad to hear. Don't go to bed early, huh? I might need you. Fight man. He didn't have any trouble before. Oh, that other fellow they brought with him? Yeah, that one. Ain't there no way at all to stop him, Mr. John? I don't know, Chester. I've been trying to think of some way. If there's anything in this world I hate, it's a paid gunman. I got no use for a man that can be bought for money. Money's important. The TO I don't see how. Wait a minute. You know where Tuck is now? Well, he was in Long Bank a little bit ago. Good. I'll be back later. Hello to Marshall Dillon. Sit down, Marshall. You know Miss Kitty here. Hello, Matt. Kitty. We've been talking about you. Me and Kitty. You've been talking about me too? Yeah. Then I'm not interrupting because I'd like to talk about you. Right ahead. But don't stay too long. He's an awful pretty girl. Man. Maybe I better leave. No, no, no. You stay right with we are. Anything your Marshall's got to say, we can all hear. If you leave, I'll leave. It's up to you, master. Sorry. Kitty. Stay. Tug, what are they paying you to get rid of me? $700. What if I give you 700 to shoot them? Well, you don't care who you kill, do you? Oh, don't matter much. I'll give you $700 to clear out of here and forget this whole business. You have changed, Matt. You sure never were a coward in the old days. Is that what you think? So does Kitty, don't you, Kitty? Don't tell me what I think, mister. She's full of fire, Matt. She deserves a real man. No, I think I'll get my money. I don't want to leave, Dodge. Not till Kitty and me get a little better acquainted anyway. Now I am leaving. You're no good to. You're really no good at all anymore. Wait till eight o', clock, Marshall. We'll see about it then. Sure, I seen the whole thing. I was just coming for you. It was Pope Marlin. He just shot him out at the money table back there. But the other fellow dropped God first. Okay, let's keep an eye on quarter and dug it. Yes, I will. Hey, do. Evening, Marshall. You got here just in time. You kill this man? I killed him. Why? You objected to the deal? Tried to pull a gun? It was self defense. But that a crooked deal always leads to killer. And that's why I'm running your friends out of Dodge. You ain't running us out of Dodge, Marshall. What? Toe, show it. I told you once quarter. I'll run this blazing out of it. I guess you ain't a coward after all. Get out of Dodge and take them with you. No, I'm gonna try to kill me another lawman first. Okay. So long. So long. I'm hurt, man. Bad. Yeah, you hit me both times. I had to. Too late to do anything about it. Yeah, it's too late. Oh, by heaven, I wish I had. Last week. Back again. Here it is. Here, Gorder Duggan. You get out of here any way you can, but you get out fast. We're going. And if you figure on coming back with another gunman, I won't wait to shoot him. Now you get away from me.
