Episode Overview

This episode of Gunsmoke, digitally restored and introduced by Andrew Rhynes, is titled “Man and Boy.” The story centers on Matt Dillon (U.S. Marshal of Dodge City) getting entangled in the ambitions of a young deputy from California, Tobin, on his first assignment: bringing in a dangerous outlaw, Jess Ricker. The narrative explores pride, inexperience, the burdens of law enforcement, and the line between boyhood and manhood.

Key Discussion Points & Story Highlights

1. Introduction of Characters and Conflict

• Tobin, the Rookie Deputy:

  • A nervous, inexperienced special deputy from California, Tobin, arrives in Dodge City looking for outlaw Jess Ricker—wanted for stagecoach robbery and murder.
  • He’s eager to prove himself and resists any assistance, especially from Matt Dillon, despite the latter’s warnings of Ricker’s violence and skill.
  • Quote:
    “How long you been a lawman?” — Matt Dillon (04:31)
    “Two months, if it's any of your business.” — Tobin (04:34)

• Marshal Dillon’s Reluctance:

  • Matt, with his seasoned perspective, is concerned for Tobin’s safety but respects the young deputy’s wish to handle the arrest solo.
  • Quote:
    “Nobody's doubting your ability... None that you'd understand, Tobin.” — Matt Dillon (04:46, 05:05)

2. Pride vs. Experience

• Tobin Insists on Working Alone:
  • He won’t accept any help, thinking Matt wants a share of the reward, and makes clear that capturing Ricker is his job, despite being "kind of out of [his] territory."
  • Notable Moment:
    Dillon warns Tobin of the risk: “You know what he's like. He's tough with his hands and fast with a gun.” — Matt (04:24)

3. Setting the Stage for a Showdown

• Tension in the Saloons:
  • The search continues into the night; Matt and Kitty discuss the futility of stopping someone determined to prove himself, while the townsfolk avoid Ricker due to his reputation.
  • Quote:
    “Kitty, I want to ask you something. How do you keep somebody from making a fool of himself when he's dead set on doing it?” — Matt Dillon (07:01)
    “That's easy. You don't.” — Miss Kitty (07:08)

4. First Confrontation: Tobin Tries to Arrest Ricker

• Barroom Confrontation:
  • Tobin approaches Ricker in the saloon, attempts to arrest him, but is promptly beaten and humiliated.
  • Matt intervenes before Ricker can escalate to deadly violence.
  • Tension between lawmen and outlaw is palpable; onlookers witness Tobin’s defeat.
  • Memorable Exchange:
    “Your name Jess Ricker?” — Tobin (08:43)
    “What's it to you, mister?” — Jess Ricker (08:44)
    “You're under arrest for robbery and murder.” — Tobin (08:46)
    [Ricker mocks Tobin and a fight breaks out.]

5. The Inevitable Duel

• Tobin’s Stubbornness:
  • Even after being bested, Tobin refuses Matt’s help and insists on a one-on-one showdown with Ricker at the livery stable the next morning.
  • Quote:
    “If he was to come walking up the street toward Delivery stable about 10 o’clock tomorrow morning, I might figure it was hostile, seeing as how he just threatened my life.” — Tobin (11:09)
  • Others observe that Tobin’s driven more by pride than sense.

6. The Final Gunfight

• Showdown in the Street (15:00–17:30):
  • As the town clears out, Matt, Chester, Doc, and Kitty discuss whether Matt should interfere or let the young lawman face the consequences of his pride.
  • Despite knowing Tobin is outmatched, Matt is torn about interfering.
  • Just as the duel begins, Tobin is wounded by Ricker.
  • Memorable Dialogue:
    “Just watch him die, I guess.” — Matt Dillon (14:11)
    “He walked right into it… The self-defense, Marshal. He drew on me, you seen him do it?” — Ricker (16:10, 16:12)

7. Maturity, Law, and Responsibility

• Aftermath:
  • Though wounded, Tobin is alive; Matt counsels him, challenging Tobin to choose pride or true lawman duty.
  • Matt uses Tobin’s injury to serve the warrant on Ricker, saying the law must be upheld.
  • Key Exchange:
    “What are you gonna be? A stubborn kid or a lawman?” — Matt Dillon (17:14)
    “Make up your mind. He's on his horse. What are you, Tobin—a boy or a man?” — Matt Dillon (17:25)

8. Resolution and Closing

• Ricker Tries to Escape:
  • Matt serves the warrant himself. During a brief struggle, Ricker’s leg is broken. It’s left to Tobin to recover and escort Ricker back to California.
  • Humorous Closer:
    “You and Tobin can get well together. And I think he’d like the pleasure of taking you back to California.” — Matt Dillon (18:26)

Tone and Character

The episode delivers the classic Gunsmoke blend of gritty realism, dry humor, and moral questioning. Matt Dillon is stoic but deeply ethical, Kitty is sharp and compassionate, and Tobin’s mixture of bravado and vulnerability creates a believable rookie. The dialogue is brisk, witty, and marked by both camaraderie and tension.

---

Summary

“Man and Boy” sifts the difference between prideful stubbornness and true manhood through a tense, character-driven story of law, justice, and personal growth. Rather than a simple gunfight narrative, it’s a meditation on when to stand alone and when to listen—the heart of many great Westerns.

Transcript

[Andrew Rines]

Welcome to the Old Time Radio Westerns. I'm your host, Andrew Rines. And let's get into this episode. This episode is going to be Gunsmoke. Original Air date is October 27, 1957 and the title is man and Boy. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy.

[Narrator]

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. Gunsmoke, starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America. And the story of a man who moved with it.

[Matt Dillon]

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.

[Tobin Marshall]

Wish I hadn't never brought these new boots off and pruning, rushing around like this.

[Miss Kitty]

Hey, where's the fire, Justin?

[Tobin Marshall]

I'm sorry, Miss Kitty. I just ain't got time to stop and visit. I gotta get over to the office and tell em if you're Dylan something.

[Miss Kitty]

Well, it must be off. Unfortunately.

[Tobin Marshall]

Yes, ma', am, it sure is. I'm sorry, Miss Kitty. I'll see you later. Like I've been running away, sir. Dear Mr. Dillon. Be quiet.

[Miss Kitty]

Be quiet.

[Tobin Marshall]

Just did I. I've got 35 cents in this pot. Cards, man.

[Matt Dillon]

Let me see the Doc, you're just gonna.

[Tobin Marshall]

Yeah, I'll be honest.

[Matt Dillon]

Give me three.

[Miss Kitty]

All right.

[Tobin Marshall]

One, two. There you go, Matt. Mr. Dillon, I've got to talk to you.

[Matt Dillon]

Hold it a minute, will you, Chester? I'm about to win myself 35 cents.

[Tobin Marshall]

Yeah, and you might be about to get killed too.

[Miss Kitty]

And I'm taking one card, ma'.

[Tobin Marshall]

Am.

[Matt Dillon]

Second one.

[Tobin Marshall]

Mr. Dillon, there's a fellow road in town looking for you. I just heard him over at the Dodge House asking about you. And I am raising another five cents. Mister.

[Matt Dillon]

You're losing your head, aren't you, Doc?

[Tobin Marshall]

Oh, but he's kind of young. But I think He's a gunman, Mr. Dylan. I think he's heading over here now. If you ask me, I think he's coming over here to kill somebody. Oh, my goodness. Yes, sir. One of you fellas Marshal Dillon?

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, yeah, I am.

[Tobin Marshall]

My name's Crowley. Tobin Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

How are you, Mr. Tobin? Will you wait just a minute? All right, Doc, I'm calling you.

[Tobin Marshall]

Two pair, Matt. Kings high. I guess that's enough.

[Matt Dillon]

Just a minute, Doc.

[Tobin Marshall]

Three sevens. That was a three. Seven. Of all the sneaky luck.

[Matt Dillon]

Thanks, Doc. Chester, Is this the fellow?

[Tobin Marshall]

Yes, yes he is.

[Matt Dillon]

What can I do for you, Mr. Tobin?

[Tobin Marshall]

Well, I'm a special deputy from California, Marshall. Oh, for the.

[Miss Kitty]

Oh.

[Tobin Marshall]

I'm after a man who's wanted for stage hold up and murder. I got reason to think he's here in Dodge. Name's Jess Ricker. Jess Ricker? You know him?

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, we know him. He's been around for a couple of weeks.

[Tobin Marshall]

You know where I can find him?

[Matt Dillon]

No, not right this minute. I thought. Tell you what. You leave the warrant with me though, and I'll pick him up for you sometime this evening.

[Tobin Marshall]

I'll do the picking up, if you don't mind.

[Matt Dillon]

No.

[Tobin Marshall]

All I asked you was where I can find him.

[Matt Dillon]

What about your authority? You're kind of out of your territory.

[Tobin Marshall]

I'll worry about authority after I get Ricky.

[Matt Dillon]

You know what he's like. He's tough with his hands and fast with a gun.

[Tobin Marshall]

I didn't come here crying for help.

[Matt Dillon]

How long you been a lawman?

[Tobin Marshall]

Two months, if it's any of your business. Uh huh.

[Matt Dillon]

Now that's your first assignment.

[Tobin Marshall]

What difference does that make? What are you trying to say? I ain't big enough to handle it?

[Matt Dillon]

Now wait just a minute.

[Tobin Marshall]

You think I can't bring a man in without run to get somebody else to do my job?

[Matt Dillon]

Nobody's doubting your ability.

[Tobin Marshall]

Look, Marshall, if you got the idea there's a reward out for this fellow, you're crazy.

[Matt Dillon]

Why you.

[Tobin Marshall]

Easy, easy. No matter.

[Matt Dillon]

I never took any reward on an outlaw in my life.

[Tobin Marshall]

Well then, what's your reason for trying to horn in on this?

[Matt Dillon]

None that you'd understand, Tobin.

[Tobin Marshall]

All right.

[Matt Dillon]

I don't know where Jess Ricker holds up, but he always hits the saloons in the evening around 9 o'. Clock. Either the Lady Gay or the long branch.

[Tobin Marshall]

Thanks, I'll be there. Good day, gentlemen.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, wait a minute. Before you go, maybe you better shake hands with Doc Adams, as the next time you meet up with him you probably won't be able to. Doc's the coroner here.

[Miss Kitty]

Matt.

[Tobin Marshall]

Huh?

[Miss Kitty]

A funny thing happened today, Matt. I saw a green horse.

[Tobin Marshall]

Huh?

[Miss Kitty]

Yeah. And it had purple wings. It was flying around up over Boot Hill.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, is that so?

[Miss Kitty]

Yeah, it was singing just like a metal arc.

[Tobin Marshall]

Huh.

[Miss Kitty]

Matt, did you hear what I just said?

[Matt Dillon]

What?

[Miss Kitty]

Oh.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, yeah, sure, sure, Kelly, that sounds great.

[Miss Kitty]

Oh, come on, Matt.

[Tobin Marshall]

What's it all about?

[Matt Dillon]

What? What's what all about?

[Miss Kitty]

You haven't heard a word I've said since you walked in here. What have you got on your mind?

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, it's that fella over there at the end of the bar. Kitty.

[Miss Kitty]

Huh? Oh, you mean Jess Ricker.

[Tobin Marshall]

Yeah, you know him?

[Miss Kitty]

He comes in all the time. I try to avoid him as much as possible.

[Matt Dillon]

That's a good idea.

[Miss Kitty]

How does he figure with you, Matt?

[Matt Dillon]

Hell, he doesn't, not the way things stand.

[Miss Kitty]

Well, then I don't see what's bothering you.

[Matt Dillon]

Kitty, I want to ask you something. How do you keep somebody from making a fool of himself when he's dead set on doing it?

[Miss Kitty]

That's easy. You don't.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah.

[Miss Kitty]

Who is he, miss?

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, a deputy from California. He's awful green, Kitty. He's on his first assignment. He's going around with his backup. He's touchier than a bear with a boil.

[Miss Kitty]

Jess Ricker's his first assignment?

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, so he says. He won't even show me the warrant. I'm afraid that I'd be asking for help. Well, without it untied, there's no charge against Ricker here in Dodge. Not so far, anyway.

[Tobin Marshall]

Mr. Dillon.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, yeah, what is it, Chester?

[Tobin Marshall]

He's on his way over here, Mr. Dillon. He got tired of waiting at the Lady Gay.

[Miss Kitty]

The fellow you were talking about, Matt?

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah. Chester's been keeping an eye on him.

[Miss Kitty]

Well, what are you gonna do?

[Matt Dillon]

There's nothing much I can do.

[Tobin Marshall]

There he is. There he comes. Good evening, Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

How are you, Toby?

[Tobin Marshall]

You know, I've been waiting across the street there for an hour. He didn't show, Tobin.

[Matt Dillon]

The two of us could take him without much trouble.

[Tobin Marshall]

You know we already been through that, Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I know we have.

[Tobin Marshall]

All I want to know is where I can find him. Have you got any idea?

[Matt Dillon]

Yep. He's standing over there at the end of the bar.

[Tobin Marshall]

Which one is he?

[Matt Dillon]

Big fellow with a scar across his jaw.

[Tobin Marshall]

But listen, I got a warrant to serve, Marshall.

[Miss Kitty]

Thanks.

[Tobin Marshall]

Anyway. His trouble is he's just plain too big for his britches. Your name Jess Ricker? What's it to you, mister, when you're under arrest for robbery and murder? Arrest? You hear that, boys? This little sawed off prairie dog says I'm under arrest. I mean it, Ricker. You're bothering me, mister. Put out your hands. Bracelet, huh? And you really aiming to put them on me? I am. All right, I'll put out my hand one at a time. You gonna arrest somebody? Would you? All right, I'll teach you.

[Matt Dillon]

All right, hold it, Ricker. Now, you put your hand on that gun. It'll be the last move you Ever make?

[Tobin Marshall]

I was. I was just.

[Matt Dillon]

Keep those boots to yourself. You kick him and I'll drop you.

[Tobin Marshall]

I wasn't doing nothing, Marshall. I was standing here minding my own business. He jumped me.

[Matt Dillon]

Shut up, Tobin. Chester, get some water and throw it on him, huh?

[Miss Kitty]

That's right.

[Tobin Marshall]

Well, Sam, will you hand me a bucket of water? Hey, Marshall, how come he's trying to arrest somebody here in your town?

[Matt Dillon]

I told you to shut up.

[Tobin Marshall]

All right, stand back, folks.

[Matt Dillon]

You all right, tobin? Yeah.

[Tobin Marshall]

Yeah, I'm all right.

[Matt Dillon]

You want me to serve that warrant for you now?

[Tobin Marshall]

What warrant, Marshall?

[Matt Dillon]

Give it to me, Tobin.

[Tobin Marshall]

If I got a warrant to serve, I'd serve it myself. Is that what you're aiming to do? I'll get you if it's the last thing I ever do. Either dead or alive. I don't care which. Marshal. He threatened my life. You heard him.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I heard him.

[Tobin Marshall]

Fine law abiding citizen like me that ain't got a single charge against his name here in Dodge City. Man like me has got to protect hisself. For instance, if he was to come walking up the street toward Delivery stable about 10 o' clock tomorrow morning, I might figure it was hostile, seeing as how he just threatened my life. I'll be there, Ricky. And so will I, mister. Bring your handcuffs. I want to pin them through your ear.

[Matt Dillon]

You know something, Tobin? You're a stubborn fool.

[Tobin Marshall]

Well, Mr. Dillon, if I was you, I wouldn't fret myself about it. He's a growed up man, ain't he?

[Matt Dillon]

Well, he's old enough to be.

[Tobin Marshall]

That's what I mean. And so if he ain't, then whose fault is it?

[Matt Dillon]

I don't know, Chester. His own, I guess. And I just keep thinking I could have made the same fool mistakes when I started out as a lawman.

[Tobin Marshall]

Morning, Matt. Well, we sure couldn't have better weather for it.

[Matt Dillon]

Better weather for what, Doc?

[Tobin Marshall]

Why, for the shooting, of course. Don't tell me you're heading toward the livery stable just by accident.

[Matt Dillon]

I wouldn't try to tell anything to an old ghoul like you.

[Tobin Marshall]

Old ghoul? Oh, man, I'm here on an errand of mercy. I got my tool kit and everything.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, sure. And it's probably stuffed full of blank forms for your coroner's report.

[Tobin Marshall]

Well, I. I did bring a couple just in case maybe Tobin won't show up. You're wrong, Chester. He's already showed. He's coming out of the Dodge House now.

[Matt Dillon]

You don't have to sound so joyful. About it, Doc?

[Tobin Marshall]

Well, there's nothing I can do about it, Matt. You neither, for that matter.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I know.

[Tobin Marshall]

I think the street sure is deserted, ain't it? Morning, gentlemen. I hope you're not planning to interfere, Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

Looks like the only way I could it be to jail you.

[Tobin Marshall]

Tobin, you wouldn't do that.

[Matt Dillon]

Don't be too sure. I've thought about it.

[Tobin Marshall]

Oh, no, you're too much of a lawman, Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

It's too bad you're not. You're not half as concerned about the law as you are about your own half baked pride.

[Tobin Marshall]

If Ricker gets me, you get him. So the law wins either way. Good day, gentlemen. Nice talking to you. I hope he's better with a gun than he was with his fists.

[Matt Dillon]

He's not good enough for just rigor. But if I horned in on it, they'd probably make him some mighty go from me.

[Tobin Marshall]

What are you gonna do, Mr. Dillon?

[Matt Dillon]

Just watch him die, I guess.

[Tobin Marshall]

Mr. Dylan, you gotta stop him.

[Matt Dillon]

He's not my responsibility.

[Tobin Marshall]

That's right, Matt. Now I don't blame you a bit.

[Matt Dillon]

What am I supposed to be as nurse?

[Miss Kitty]

Oh, no, no.

[Tobin Marshall]

Of course, nobody can expect it. Yes, Rickard? Just come down the liver stable. I see.

[Matt Dillon]

Tobin's a fool. It's his own fault.

[Tobin Marshall]

Oh, you're absolutely right there. Oh yes. He's bringing the whole thing on himself.

[Matt Dillon]

For two cents I'd go back to the office and forget about him.

[Tobin Marshall]

That's exactly what you should do. Oh yes. If you'll glance down the street there, you'll notice they're not more than a hundred feet apart.

[Matt Dillon]

What of it, Doc? If you think for one minute I'm going to take any part in this ship. You heard him, didn't you? He doesn't want any help.

[Tobin Marshall]

That's true, Matt. Yeah, that's true. There's going to be some shooting any second.

[Matt Dillon]

Ask him three times and that'll be enough. Oh, come on, let's get down there before it's too late.

[Miss Kitty]

Matt.

[Tobin Marshall]

Now wait a minute, Matt. It's none of your responsibility if that young idiot wants to die.

[Matt Dillon]

Shut up, Doc. A man doesn't mean everything he's says.

[Tobin Marshall]

So I've noticed.

[Matt Dillon]

Wrecker will try to make him draw first. So it'll make it self defense and keep me out of it.

[Tobin Marshall]

Okay.

[Matt Dillon]

And Tobin's just stupid enough to fall for it.

[Tobin Marshall]

It's too late, Matt. Tobin. Seen you coming. Hey, Tobin, hold up.

[Matt Dillon]

He walked right into it.

[Tobin Marshall]

The self defense marshal. He draw on me. You seen him do it?

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I saw him. All right. Put away your gun, Wrecker. Tobin.

[Tobin Marshall]

Here. Here, let me see him. Stand back. Open the shirt here. Well, that guy caught him high in the shoulder, man. He'll pull through it all right.

[Matt Dillon]

Dobin, can you hear me?

[Miss Kitty]

Yeah.

[Matt Dillon]

All right, then listen to me. You had your show and it fell in on you. Now, you give me that warrant and I'll serve it for you.

[Tobin Marshall]

No, Marc.

[Matt Dillon]

Look, you've already proved yourself. If that's what you had to do, I'll.

[Tobin Marshall]

I'll get over this. I'll get him yet.

[Matt Dillon]

There may not be another chance. He's got a bedroll tied on his saddle and he's fixing to ride out. Now, you say he's a murderer. You gonna let him get away?

[Tobin Marshall]

I'll catch up with him. I'll find him again.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, Suppose you don't?

[Tobin Marshall]

That's my job, Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

It's the law's job. And you're only part of it. Now, what are you gonna be? A stubborn kid or a lawman?

[Tobin Marshall]

I don't know what you mean.

[Matt Dillon]

Make up your mind. He's on his horse. What are you, two of them, a boy or a man?

[Tobin Marshall]

Warrants.

[Matt Dillon]

Inside my fist. All right, look after him.

[Narrator]

Dust.

[Tobin Marshall]

Now, you be careful, Mr. Jones.

[Matt Dillon]

Hey, Wrecker, get off that horse.

[Tobin Marshall]

What's your trouble, Marshall? I thought we agreed it was self defense.

[Matt Dillon]

Got nothing to do with that. I got a warrant here for your arrest on a charge of murder.

[Tobin Marshall]

So I hollered for help. Marshall, I don't think I cotton to you serving that warrant any more than I did for him to.

[Matt Dillon]

I don't much care what you cotton to, Rickard. You shouldn't have tried it.

[Tobin Marshall]

Rickard, you broke my leg.

[Matt Dillon]

Now, don't worry about it. You and Tubman can get well together. And I think he'd like the pleasure of taking you back to California.

[Tobin Marshall]

You'll never get me there. I'll get you there all right, Ricker, if I have to drag you by the hair.

[Matt Dillon]

You know something, Ricker? He's just stubborn enough to do that if he has to.

[Tobin Marshall]
