Old Time Radio Westerns – Gunsmoke: “The Margin” (Original Air Date: 10-13-57)

Podcast release: June 21, 2026 | Host: Andrew Rhynes

Episode Overview

In this digitally restored episode of Gunsmoke titled “The Margin,” Marshal Matt Dillon faces the consequences of ambiguous justice when a young cowboy, Grody Beck, is accused of cattle theft on scant evidence. As the truth unravels, the episode probes the danger of acting too quickly—or too slowly—within the “margin” that separates lawful order from vigilante justice in the wild West.

---

Key Discussion Points & Plot Summary

1. False Accusations and Frontier Justice

• The story opens with Grody Beck, a young ranch hand, being released from jail due to insufficient evidence tied to a cattle theft (02:23). The only accusation stems from the claim of the alleged victim’s daughter, too bashful to testify in court:
  • Matt Dillon: “He just ruled that there wasn’t enough evidence to bring you to trial.” (03:15)
  • Flag Mellor (the victim): “My girl seen him come riding in at daybreak the night them cattle was took.” (03:49)
• Despite no conviction, Grody faces public suspicion and ostracization.

2. The Dangers of Mob Law

• Flag Mellor, unwilling to accept the court’s decision, threatens to take the law into his own hands:

  • Flag: “Maybe it’s about time some of us made some law of our own around Dodge City.” (05:53)

• Matt Dillon cautions against vigilante behavior:

  • Dillon: “Don’t try it, Flag.” (06:05)
  • Dillon: “There’s only one kind of law here, Flag. ... It’s got a margin to take up the slack, a chance to back up and change a mistake before it’s too late.” (10:02)

3. Human Nature, Motives, and Misunderstandings

• Doc and Kitty help explore why Mellor’s daughter might have lied about Grody’s involvement, hinting at jealousy and heartbreak:
  • Kitty: “When it comes to women, you haven’t got the sense the good Lord gave a rabbit.” (13:40; 14:44)
  • Kitty: “Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.” (14:25)
• The social ostracism and judgment fall heavily on Grody, even as the real thief remains at large.

4. The Real Criminals Revealed

• Matt and Chester investigate town gambling tables and identify Pete Crow as a likely suspect, due to his suspicious windfall of gold coins commonly paid by cattle buyers (15:02-15:14).
  • Kitty: “He pays for everything with five dollar gold pieces.” (15:14)
• Under pressure, Pete Crow confesses that he and Flag’s own foreman, Hawkins, stole the cattle, penning them in a gully for a buyer (17:30; 19:08).

5. Irreversible Consequences and the “Margin”

• As the mob rides out, Matt and Chester rush to intercept them, but tragedy has already struck:
  • Flag (shaken): “When we caught Grody with the cattle, we hung him.” (20:49)
  • The crucial “margin” that Dixon defends throughout the episode has been crossed irreparably.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Matt Dillon’s Solemn Warning:
  “You know, it’s got one thing that your so-called law never has. It’s got a margin to take up the slack. A chance to back up and change a mistake before it’s too late.”
  — Matt Dillon to Flag, [10:02]

• The Tragic Realization:
  “Grody’s been trying to clear himself... But when we caught Grody with the cattle, we hung him.”
  — Flag, [20:49]

• Kitty on Human Nature:
  “She’s as homely as a mud fence. She never had a man look twice at her... Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.”
  — Kitty, [14:05] + [14:25]

• On the Cost of Rash Justice:
  “I guess you were right. You said this could be the sorriest day of my life.”
  — Flag, [20:43]

Important Segment Timestamps

• Court confrontation and Grody’s release: [02:22]–[05:47]
• Flag’s threats of vigilante justice: [05:53]–[06:11]
• Doc and Kitty discuss the Mellor girl’s motives: [13:40]–[14:44]
• Pete Crow’s reveal and confession: [15:02]–[17:30]
• Showdown with Flag’s mob: [18:15]–[20:23]
• Final, devastating twist—Grody lynched by the mob: [20:43]–[20:49]

---

Episode Tone and Style

True to Gunsmoke’s understated, sometimes gritty realism, the episode avoids melodrama, letting the weight of persistent doubt, the threat of mob violence, and the tragedy of irreversible error sink in through dialogue and pacing. The language is spare and tough, with wry interjections from Kitty and Doc providing insight and occasional comic relief.

---

Summary

“The Margin” is a sobering, sharply told tale about the thin line separating justice and vengeance in the Old West. It dramatizes both the danger of convicting an innocent man too quickly and the peril of lingering suspicion. The episode’s tragic conclusion—Grody’s lynching before exoneration—serves as a powerful warning about the cost when that margin for doubt is ignored.

[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 13, 1957 and the title is the Margin. Hope you enjoy.

[Grody Beck]

Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to

[Matt Dillon]

handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. marshal and the smell of guns.

[Andrew Rines]

Smell.

[Kitty]

Smoke.

[Grody Beck]

Gun.

[Matt Dillon]

Sport.

[Grody Beck]

Starring William Conrad. The story of the violence that moved

[Matt Dillon]

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.

[Grody Beck]

Flag Miller. Sure he's gonna be mad about all this, Mr. Jones.

[Matt Dillon]

I can't help that, Chester.

[Grody Beck]

He's coming up street right now someday, man.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, I see him. Get the keys, will you?

[Grody Beck]

Yes, sir. I can't say I blame him much at that, though.

[Matt Dillon]

There's not much to be done about it. The law is the law.

[Grody Beck]

I reckon so. But still, in all. Come on. That you, Marshal?

[Kitty]

Yeah.

[Grody Beck]

When am I gonna get out of here?

[Matt Dillon]

Right now, Grody.

[Grody Beck]

All right.

[Matt Dillon]

Unlock it, Chester.

[Grody Beck]

Yes, sir. So you finally come to your senses, huh?

[Matt Dillon]

I didn't decide anything one way or the other, Grody. It's a court order from Judge Event.

[Grody Beck]

Well, at least he had gumption enough to clear me.

[Matt Dillon]

You're not cleared. Exactly. He just ruled that there wasn't enough evidence to bring you to trial.

[Grody Beck]

There wasn't no evidence except for them lies. Flagged Mellor's girl toe.

[Matt Dillon]

Come on, Brody. I'll give you your gun back, Marshal. All right, Flag, just hold your horses. Watch your temper, Brody. He's gonna be pretty upset.

[Grody Beck]

He ought to be firing the way he done getting me jailed for stealing cattle just on the say so of that old maid daughter of his. Marshall. Do I understand right of you turning this young cattle thief loose?

[Matt Dillon]

The court Order. Flag. Judge Ben says there's no case.

[Grody Beck]

No case? My girl seen him come riding in at daybreak the night them cattle was took. Then he stood up and lied and said he hadn't been out of the bunk. It wasn't me doing a lie in your hard nosed old badger. You calling my dog?

[Matt Dillon]

Shut up, both of you. Enough. Like it might have helped your case some if your girl had come in and told her story.

[Grody Beck]

I told you why she wouldn't. She's too dang bashful to stand up in front of the public.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, maybe so, but the judge couldn't go on hearsay.

[Grody Beck]

You call that justice doing under the circumstances?

[Matt Dillon]

I do. Yeah. Chester, you got grotes cunning.

[Grody Beck]

Okay. Well, I got another name for what you're doing, Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

How is that so? No thanks, Justin. There you are, Grody.

[Grody Beck]

Much obliged, Marshall. I called what you're doing Aidin and abetting an album.

[Matt Dillon]

What are your plans, Cody?

[Grody Beck]

I don't know. Hire on at some other ranch, I reckon. Ain't a rancher in Kansas that's gonna take on a branded thief. And I'll see to it that they know all about you. Flag, you better rein in that mouth of yours.

[Matt Dillon]

All right, take it easy, both of you.

[Grody Beck]

He shuts up, he won't be bothered.

[Matt Dillon]

But he's right, Grody. You're not gonna find a job around here.

[Grody Beck]

I wasn't convicted.

[Matt Dillon]

You weren't cleared either.

[Grody Beck]

You telling me to ride out, Marshall?

[Matt Dillon]

You think of a better idea.

[Grody Beck]

Maybe you're right. And maybe I don't care to live around this big mouthed bull snake anyhow. Maybe I will ride out and good riddance. You've been lucky, Flag. Real lucky. Don't push it too far. I catch you within 10 miles of

[Matt Dillon]

my place, I'll put a bullet through you on s. All right, that's enough. Flag. The kids leave him. There's no call to get mouth.

[Grody Beck]

I'm just warning him.

[Matt Dillon]

Now you want to get going, Grody?

[Grody Beck]

Might as well, I guess. You treated me as good as you could, Marshall.

[Kitty]

Thanks.

[Matt Dillon]

Good luck, gry.

[Grody Beck]

So that's the kind of law we got here. Pat a cattle thief on the head and wish him good luck.

[Matt Dillon]

If he is a cattle thief.

[Grody Beck]

Are you doubting my word, Marshall?

[Matt Dillon]

Judge Bent doubted a Judge Bent.

[Grody Beck]

You and him's hand and glove. Coddle them. Give him a nice warm cell to rest up in. Then hand them back your gun. Send them out to do it again. Maybe it's about time some of us made some law of our own around Dodge City.

[Matt Dillon]

Don't try it, Flag.

[Grody Beck]

Wouldn't be the first time a rope and cottonwood limb cured a man of stealing cattle.

[Matt Dillon]

Do you hear me? I heard you and I hope you heard me good. For your sake, Flag. I hope you heard me real good.

[Bluff]

[Grody Beck]

It sure beats me, Michelle. It's like them cattle just disappeared into thin air.

[Matt Dillon]

That's awful rough country Soto Flags place. Must be a hundred or more draws and gullies where you can hide 50 head of stock.

[Grody Beck]

No, I'd swear we covered them all these past few days.

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah, Looks like we'll have to try here in town to see what we can turn up. Max one Max.

[Kitty]

Wait a minute.

[Grody Beck]

What's old Doc carrying on about now?

[Matt Dillon]

I don't know. I'll see what he wants. You go ahead and start doing what I told you.

[Grody Beck]

All right.

[Matt Dillon]

See you later. Now what's on your mind, Doc?

[Kitty]

Yeah. Say, Matt. What?

[Grody Beck]

Since I hear about you running young Grody Beck out of town.

[Matt Dillon]

You're behind the times, Doc. That was three days ago. Oh, well, I've been busy.

[Grody Beck]

Sorry to hear. Man,

[Matt Dillon]

you're sore because I ran Grody out of town. Flag Muller's sore because I coddled him. The truth is I didn't do either one, Doc. Anyway, when did you start taking up for Grody?

[Grody Beck]

I like him. He's a good kid. You know he helped set a broken leg out at Flagg's Range a couple of months ago. You can tell a lot about a

[Matt Dillon]

man when you work with him like that.

[Kitty]

Yeah?

[Matt Dillon]

Can you tell whether he'll rustle cattle or not?

[Grody Beck]

There wasn't a thing against him except

[Matt Dillon]

that fool girl claiming she'd seen him ride out that night.

[Grody Beck]

And then she wouldn't even show her face in town to tell the judge about it.

[Matt Dillon]

She's bashful, Duncan.

[Kitty]

Ah, bashful.

[Grody Beck]

Confounded man.

[Kitty]

If it's got to do with an

[Grody Beck]

outlaw or a killer or such like,

[Matt Dillon]

there's nobody better than you.

[Grody Beck]

But when it comes to women, you haven't got the sense that good lord give a rabbit.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, what are you talking about?

[Grody Beck]

Why, anybody with a half a brain

[Kitty]

would know why that girl lied.

[Matt Dillon]

How do you know she lied at all?

[Grody Beck]

Partial. I've been lucky for you.

[Matt Dillon]

Hello, Flag. What's the trouble?

[Grody Beck]

I lost another hundred head of cattle last night.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, well then Grody Beck wasn't guilty after all, was he? You're saying that I'm not Be kind of hard for him to steal cattle last night when he rode out of Dodge three days ago.

[Grody Beck]

He may have rode out, but he didn't ride far.

[Matt Dillon]

What?

[Grody Beck]

He was seen on my range this afternoon.

[Matt Dillon]

Now look Flag, it's possible your daughter's mistake.

[Grody Beck]

It wasn't my daughter that seen him. It was two of my riders. Or maybe you're claiming we're all a bunch of lies. I know that boy, Flag, and he's not a thief. Why don't you stick to doctrine and leave the law to them that can handle it.

[Matt Dillon]

Suppose you take that advice yourself, Flag.

[Grody Beck]

Marshall, I already seen what they expect out of you. Leaving it up to you and Judge Benz cost me another hundred head of stock. So now I'm aiming to use some of my kind of law.

[Matt Dillon]

There's only one kind of law here, Flag. It's got nothing to do with some riled up brainless mob.

[Grody Beck]

Got nothing to do with much of anything as far as I can see.

[Matt Dillon]

They may be slow sometimes, they may have loopholes, temporary ones anyhow. But you know, it's got one thing that your so called law never has. It's got a margin to take up the slack. A chance to back up and change a mistake before it's too late.

[Grody Beck]

Grody backs had all the margin he's gonna get.

[Matt Dillon]

That's no proof that Grody took him.

[Grody Beck]

And just what was he doing on my range?

[Matt Dillon]

Well, it's just possible he was looking for some way to clear himself. But I'll know that when I find him and talk to him.

[Grody Beck]

You better find him in a hurry if you're aiming to talk to him.

[Matt Dillon]

I better find him able to talk, Flag. If I don't, it's gonna be the sorriest day of your.

[Grody Beck]

[Kitty]

Well, look what this is in hello Kitty. Here, Matt, pull up a chair.

[Matt Dillon]

Ah, thanks.

[Kitty]

Where you been for the last three days?

[Matt Dillon]

Trying to find out who stole Flag Mueller's cattle.

[Kitty]

Any luck?

[Matt Dillon]

No, not yet. Chester around?

[Kitty]

Yeah, he's in that poker game over there in the far corner. Oh.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, yeah.

[Kitty]

He's been acting real funny, Matt. The last hour and a half he sat in on every game in the house. He stays 10 minutes or so and then he moves on to another table.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, I told him to.

[Kitty]

What do you mean you told him to?

[Matt Dillon]

Just that.

[Kitty]

Oh. Got anything to do with those cattle?

[Matt Dillon]

I hope so. By the way, Kitty, Doc claims that Mellor's daughter was lying about Grody Becky. Of course she was. Well, why did she do it?

[Kitty]

Matt, when it comes to women, you haven't got the sense the good Lord gave a rap.

[Matt Dillon]

Oh, so help me, Kitty, if I.

[Kitty]

Now look, Matt. Grody is a very handsome young fellow, right?

[Matt Dillon]

Well, I suppose he is.

[Grody Beck]

I don't know.

[Kitty]

Well, he is. You take it from me and every girl in town knows it. He could have his pick of him.

[Matt Dillon]

All right, so he could have his pick.

[Kitty]

What about the Mellor girl? Her looks, I mean.

[Matt Dillon]

Well, she's not exactly the prettiest girl.

[Kitty]

Say it right out. She's as homely as a mud fence. She never had a man look twice at her in her life. You ever seen her in town on Saturday? The way she follows Grody around?

[Matt Dillon]

No, I never noticed it particularly.

[Kitty]

Well, I have. So there you are, man.

[Matt Dillon]

There I am what? Kitty?

[Kitty]

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. I know.

[Matt Dillon]

Are you claiming that she lied to get Brody into trouble just because he wouldn't have anything to do with it?

[Kitty]

It's been done before.

[Matt Dillon]

Maybe, but look, look, there's another thing now. Grody lied about leaving town. I just found out he's still here.

[Kitty]

Yeah, well, I knew he was planning to stay. He stopped in here the day you let him out of jail, just to talk. He has some crazy idea clearing his name.

[Matt Dillon]

Looks like you know more about this than I do.

[Kitty]

He's a good boy, Matt. He didn't steal those cattle.

[Grody Beck]

Uh, Mr. Dunn, could I see you a minute?

[Matt Dillon]

Yeah. What is it, Chester?

[Grody Beck]

Well, I think maybe I spotted somebody fell at that table over where I was just playing. That name of Pete Crow. Well, he's got an awful lot of cash for a man that looks as raggedy as he does.

[Matt Dillon]

Pete Crow. Do you know him, Kenny?

[Kitty]

He's been in here the last two or three nights. Mike. Chester says he's free with money. He pays for everything with five dollar gold pieces.

[Matt Dillon]

Gold pieces?

[Kitty]

Mm.

[Matt Dillon]

That's what those cattle buyers on the strip pay off with.

[Kitty]

Oh, really? Then he's sure enough. You're a man, isn't he?

[Matt Dillon]

And I'm sure gonna find out soon. Kidding.

[Kitty]

Watch him, Matt. He carries a knife in the back of his shirt. He knows how to throw it.

[Matt Dillon]

Thanks, Chester. You will as much of goods or cash to stay in the pot and tossing your hand. The bet's on the table, boys. Been there long enough. Crow, I want to talk to you. Go ahead and talk, Marshall. Nobody's stopping you. Let's move into that game room at the end of the bar there. Sorry, I'm too busy right now. Chester, will you step behind him and take that knife out of his shirt. Keep your hands on the table crowd.

[Grody Beck]

I got it, Mr. Dillon.

[Matt Dillon]

All right, crew, get on your feet. You're making a big mistake, Marshall. I don't mind. I got going. You got no right to order me around. Inside.

[Grody Beck]

What do you think you're doing anyway?

[Matt Dillon]

I don't know where you got that money you've been thrusting around. I figure that's my business. Sure. Then your business might be cattle rustling. Got proof of that, have you? No, but I got a good hunch you're the man I've been looking for. The law don't convict nobody on hunch. No, but Flag Miller probably would. What are you talking about? You got a choice, Crow. You can tell me the truth and take your chances in court. Or you can walk out of here and explain to FL Meller where you got that money. You know what he'd do? He wouldn't do anything if he got a good explanation. If you didn't steal his cattle, I wouldn't have a chance. He'd know right off. He'd lynch me.

[Grody Beck]

Sure.

[Matt Dillon]

I'll tell you, Marshall. I'll tell you all about it. Okay, start talk.

[Grody Beck]

That must be them, Mr. Dillon. 15 or 20 of them. Just popping the ridge up there, see?

[Matt Dillon]

That's about the size of Flagg's outfit, all right. He didn't leave any of them at the ranch.

[Grody Beck]

They're starting this way, heading for home? Guess.

[Matt Dillon]

All right, trustee, let's wait for him here. I just want him up in the open and full moonlight in case he makes a move.

[Grody Beck]

You reckon he'll try him, but you don't.

[Matt Dillon]

We won't give him a chance to try if we can help it. You edge in behind him, Chester. So you can take his gun as soon as I call him on it.

[Grody Beck]

Yes, sir.

[Matt Dillon]

I'll do it.

[Grody Beck]

Here they come.

[Kitty]

Yeah?

[Matt Dillon]

Hey, Flag.

[Grody Beck]

Who is it?

[Matt Dillon]

Matt Dillon. Over here.

[Grody Beck]

The Marshall boys. Come on. You're riding late tonight, Marshall.

[Matt Dillon]

No later than you are.

[Grody Beck]

Well, me and the boys been out hunting cattle rustlers. That right, boy?

[Matt Dillon]

I've been hunting the same kind of game, Flag. Now, what's more, I caught one. You what? We rode out here to pick up his partner.

[Grody Beck]

Whose partner? Who are you talking about?

[Matt Dillon]

Your foreman there, Flagg. All right. Don't try it, Hawkins.

[Grody Beck]

I'll take that gun. Huck, what are you trying to pull? Are you claiming my own ranch foreman was partners with Grody Beck?

[Matt Dillon]

Grody Beck wasn't then on it. It was only your daughter's wild story that tied him in the first place. Hawkins. Partner is a man named Pete Crow. I got him locked up in Dutch. Ain't never heard nobody named Pete Crew. Yeah, that's not the way he tells it.

[Grody Beck]

And he's lying.

[Matt Dillon]

He says the two of you had run the cattle off into the river bottom during the night. And he'd hold him there for the buyer to pick up the next day. I tell you, I don't even know the man. He knows you, Hawkins. He's lying. Well, he wasn't lying when he told me where you had your share of the payoff hitting Chester and I just found it in the mattress of your bunk. Now Flag, do you believe it now?

[Grody Beck]

It wasn't just them two alone. Marshall Grody was in on it too.

[Matt Dillon]

Now you're wrong, Flag. Grody had nothing to do with it. Pete Crow told me the buyer was to pick him up tomorrow. Crow and Hawkins had him penned up in a dead end gully in the river bottom.

[Grody Beck]

But we caught him tonight with the cattle.

[Matt Dillon]

Grotty's been trying to clear himself. He probably found him and was driving them back to your place. That's what he claimed. Marshall. I guess you were right. You said this could be the sorriest

[Grody Beck]

day of my life.

[Matt Dillon]

What are you talking about?

[Grody Beck]

When we caught Grody with the cattle, we hung him.
