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 the U.S. marshal and the spell of Gun Smoke. Gun Smoke, Starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved west with young America. The story of a man who moved with it. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. It had been some time since we'd had any real trouble. Anything more than throwing a few juiced up cowboys in jail to sober up for a few hours and liked it peaceful for a change. I hope that it stayed that way. Well, that morning I'd gone to take a few catfish out of the Aransas. When I got back to the office, I found a note from Chester saying he's at the Alafraganza having a beer. Hello, john. Over here, Mr. Dylan. Any Luxor? No, about a dozen, Chester. We'll have him for supper. No, that'll be fine. Oh, I, I, I've been telling Mr. Carter here about you, Mr. Dylan. Mr. Carter. Robert P. Carter. How do you do, Marshall. Hello. How are you? Buy your drink? Well, thank you. Yes, I, I believe I will. I think I'll have a beer. Bartender, a beer. Mr. Carter came in on the stage from Denver last Saturday. Oh, you live in Denver, Mr. Carter? Oh, heavens, Marshall, I've only been west a few months. Investing money in gold mines and cattle and the like. Mr. Carter's very rich. Just. I will be if Mother Nature holds out. His girl is coming in on the stage today, Mr. Dillon. How is that so? My fiance, Marshall, he met her in Denver, but she couldn't get ready in time to come here when he did. Ah, I see. I had to come ahead on business. Couldn't wait. We'll take the Santa Fe to St. Louis from here. They're going to be married in St. Louis, Ms. Dylan. Wow. Well, congratulations. Thanks. But is the stage always this late? He's worried, Mr. Dylan. With his girl on stage now, it'll be a long. Mr. Carter. You talking about the stage? Oh, hello, Shiloh. Shiloh Says he's been sitting there by himself all morning, Mr. Dylan. Since last night. Chester. You know something about the stage, Shiloh? Only that it's carrying 50,000 in gold out of Leadville. So maybe that's why it's late. What do you mean, man? Well, if somebody wanted that goal, they'd have to stop the stage long enough to get it unloaded, wouldn't they? Bandits, he means bandits. Now, hold it, Mr. Carter. You're already bleeding and nobody shot you. What? Nothing, nothing. Just take it Easy. The stage will get here all right. It's off on a little late, but this man says it might have been held up. Why, there may have been a shooting. He's just daydreaming, that's all. Wait a minute. Listen. Huh? Well, there it is now. Oh, see, Mr. Carter? There was nothing to worry about. It got here all right. Yes. Hey, Marshall, come here. What is it, Jim? Got held up, Marshall. What? Lost 50,000 gold. Where'd this happen? About 20 mile back, near Cottonwood Draw. But anybody shot? Not a shot. Fire. They tricked it. But Jane. Where's Jane? Driver, where's the girl who was on this stage? What's happened to her? That's what I started to tell you, Marshall. There's a tree across the road. We got down to move it. This rider got to drop off us. He's all alone. Never mind all that. Where's the girl? He took the gold. Took the girl, too. What? He took Jane. You mean to tell me you let him take Jane? Well, now, mister, there weren't much choice. He held a shotgun on us. They're gone before we could do a thing. This is impossible. Now, take it easy, Mr. Carter. We'll find them. You'll find him. You were off fishing when it happened. What kind of blow is there around here anyway? Easy, Mr. Carter. I took one of the team after Marshall, but I couldn't get near him. He had an extra saddle horse with him. Put her on that. I see. But I don't think he planned on kidnapping that girl where it was. He just looked at her and told her to come along. Did you recognize him, Jim Nose? Horses are both sorrels, by heaven. Marshall, you'd better get her back here at once or I'll take this up with Washington. I'll see you. Disgraceful. Shut up, Carter. Chester, go get our horses and a couple of rifles. I'll get a few more details from Jim here. Well, don't you want a posse, mister? No. There'd be too much shooting around that girl. Now hurry, will you? Yes, Sir, I'll hurry. Mr. Bill, mark my words, we better have Jane back here by night. Call Marshall. You care to ride along, Mr. Carter? No, no, I. I'm. I'm not equipped for that sort of thing. I'll take care of matters at this end. Yeah, all right. Now, Jim, now tell me first exactly what happened. Well, we just come down into the draw about a hundred yards from the creek. A blood red sun was gooping over the edge of the prairie. When Chester and I reached Cottonwood, Draw. We rode hard until night fell and we had to stop and wait for daylight. But with morning, we drew a heavy rain that washed out every track we rode on. Anyway, for the next three days, we scouted a big piece of that country. Well, it was hopeless. Finally, we headed back to Dodge empty handed. Bartender, bring me a bottle with you. You're mad. Where is she, Marshall? Is she all right? Carter, I. I'm sorry. What? You mean you didn't find them? Rain washed out their trail first morning we. We never picked it up again. They could be anywhere. You came back without her? We did what we could, Carter. Now we'll just have to wait for word of some kind. You'll be seen sooner or later. Wait? Well, I won't wait. This will cost you your job, Marshall. I promise you that. Look, Carter, if it make you feel better, why don't you ride out yourself? It isn't my job to keep the law around here, Marshall. It's yours. Yeah. Say, Marshall. Yeah, what is it? Shiloh. Big Kate wanted to see you when you got back. Asked me to tell you. Big Kate? All right. Thank you. Come in.
