Speaker 1: Around Dodge City and in the territory on West. There
is just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers.
And that's where the US Marshal and the smell of
gun smoke. John will Spoke, starring William Conrad, The story
of the violence that moved west with young America and
the story of a man.
Speaker 2: Who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United
States Marshall, the first man they look for and the
less they want to meet. It's a chancy job, and
it makes a man watchful. Had a little lone lady.
Speaker 3: Here she comes with you? Young Here?
Speaker 2: Ho, com is Chester, Holly Dean, you'd come down the
street there?
Speaker 3: Somebody must have told her, and.
Speaker 2: I left word in enough places.
Speaker 4: He sure he's gonna be upset about this.
Speaker 2: I doubt it. About the only thing that upsets Holly
is a man who won't pay attention to her. Yeah,
I'll let her in.
Speaker 5: Yes, you.
Speaker 6: Come on, Hemy Dean, Thank you Chester. Oh wow, how
handsome you look today?
Speaker 2: I do, said, Oh.
Speaker 5: Man, might's just been ages since I've seen you, said
Ms Dean, Ms Dan, Wait, isn't it Holly anymore?
Speaker 2: Here you are?
Speaker 6: So? Thank you?
Speaker 5: Well you look mighty staring and official, Marshal. Have I
committed some crime?
Speaker 2: Not that I know?
Speaker 6: But then what's it's all about? Three different people told
me you wanted to see me.
Speaker 2: That's right. I uh, I thought you'd better know about
this mystery about what Sam Berger? He's out of prison, escaped, Oh,
not paroled.
Speaker 6: He was supposed to be in for ten years.
Speaker 2: One to ten. He served three, and I guess they
figured that was enough. You'll get out of Dodge on
the afternoon train.
Speaker 6: Stop him, mad, don't let him come here.
Speaker 2: Oh, he's got a right to go where he wants.
I just thought you ought to know about it, you
and your husband both.
Speaker 6: Matt, Matt, you got to protect me. It's your job too.
Speaker 2: I will if it's necessary.
Speaker 5: Of course it's necessary. He'll try to kill me. Oh
why because he because I divorced.
Speaker 6: Him while he was in prison and and marry Jack.
Speaker 2: Is that the reason? Is it? Because you wouldn't back
up his alibi when you testified at his trial.
Speaker 6: I couldn't, Matt.
Speaker 5: I wasn't sure he was working in the barn all
afternoon the day Tracy was shot.
Speaker 2: Yet the barn is only fifty yards from my house
a h.
Speaker 5: I was asleep most of the afternoon. He could have
rode off and come back and I'd never known it. Oh,
but I told all this at the trial. It's over
and done with. You gotta keep him away from me.
Speaker 6: He's a killer.
Speaker 2: I doubt that.
Speaker 6: Well, the jury didn't. They convicted him, didn't they.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they weren't too sure. They'd have made the
charge a lot stronger than manslaughter. I just can't see
Sam Buger is a killer, even with plenty of reason.
Speaker 6: What reason? I suppose you believe them stories too? That
something was going on between Tracy and me?
Speaker 2: Was there?
Speaker 6: I didn't even know him?
Speaker 5: Hardly the hens around this Tom stopped cackling. If a
woman even says low to a.
Speaker 6: Man, what are you trying to do? Reopen the trot?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 2: Huh No, m just let you know that Sam's killing back.
Speaker 6: Ah. I Oh, I didn't let him. I'm married again now.
Speaker 5: I don't want nothing more to do with him. He
starts fooling around with me, and Jack will take care
of him.
Speaker 2: All right. Ye A highly trouble seems to follow you,
doesn't it.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 6: I don't do nothing to cause you, and maybe you.
Speaker 2: Don't I don't know. Maybe it's just because you're one
of the prettiest women in Dodge, and maybe you just
get too friendly with too many people.
Speaker 6: Huh what do you mean by that?
Speaker 2: Look? You're married now to a man who's known around
town as being kind of jealous and a little bit unhappy,
and you got an ex husband coming in on the
afternoon train who has just spent three years in prison
for a killing that he claims he didn't commit.
Speaker 6: The jury said different.
Speaker 2: For a killer the whole Tom thinks was over you. Well,
I don't think Sam Bruger was a killer three years ago.
But prison can change a man. So you watch your step.
Speaker 9: W I ain't even sure I'll recognize sim mister Jollan,
he wanted to look too different.
Speaker 2: Chester.
Speaker 4: You recognize him in the start trouble.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 8: And by James, she's brave enough to turn my head
even if you had to put her mind to it.
Speaker 2: After getting Lion Chester, there's about a dozen ahead of it.
Oh well, my Land, I was just saying if I
know her so well, Yeah, I assure you do. Now,
come on, Sam's getting my man.
Speaker 4: It'd just be plumb bullish to get tied up with
a woman like that.
Speaker 2: Here's a man who can tell you. I was there.
Speaker 8: He ain't changed hardly, tall.
Speaker 2: Not outside anyway.
Speaker 4: I was siding why Matt Dylon, last.
Speaker 10: Man I saw, and I took me away first when
I meet, when I get back, he's never changed?
Speaker 2: Do they not? Too much? How I get a three
year picnic? Marshall?
Speaker 10: You know they make a real good carry up there,
even got bars all around if you folks from getting
in bothering cash?
Speaker 2: Sure, Marshall.
Speaker 4: Uh, Holly's Holly?
Speaker 2: How fine? I uh sorry, just this morning? Did huh?
Speaker 4: That's more than you're gonna do?
Speaker 2: Bruger Sam. You remember Jack Dane, don't you?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, yeah, a gambler. I didn't quite get.
Speaker 10: That remark of yours me.
Speaker 2: You got it all right?
Speaker 4: You stay away from Holly. You hear me? What are
you on the proud about?
Speaker 2: Holly's married to him? Now, sir? I thought you knew, No, No.
Speaker 4: I didn't know that.
Speaker 2: What do you do now? And don't you forget it?
You bother her and I'll shoot you like a mad
all right, that's not what I canna talk to you.
Speaker 10: I wasn't gonna oh, I things stand well, now, wait
a minute, I think maybe you ought to know how.
Speaker 4: Things stand too, Dean.
Speaker 10: I come back here for just one reason, just to
find out who did kill Tracy.
Speaker 2: Waters the way I heard you didn't know.
Speaker 10: Holly lied at the trial. She knew I never let
the place that day. I aim to find out why
she lied. I told you to leave her alone.
Speaker 4: I got no interest in her otherwise.
Speaker 2: I feel sorry for you, Dean. I learned about Holly.
I paid for it. He means you ain't yet, but
you will no cheer.
Speaker 1: Bud's gonna talk about my wife like that?
Speaker 2: Up Dean taking up for him? Are you? Marshall? You
get going? Alright? I'll go. When the law won't protect
a man's home, I figure he's got the right to
do it himself. Thank you, Marshall.
Speaker 4: Man on parole.
Speaker 2: Can't afford to get into any arguments or where are
gone either, Sat gonna have to take yours.
Speaker 10: Play it right down in the middle, don't you no
accepting for either side?
Speaker 2: How it works out better that way in the long run.
Here all right, there you are facts. I didn't kill Tracy,
whether you believe it or not. I wasn't on the jury, Sam,
but just one thing. You better stay clear of Jack Dean.
He can make you an awful lot of trouble. I
got no reason to bouy it him, haven't you?
Speaker 8: Or do you mean?
Speaker 2: Holly? Now? What I told Dean is the truth.
Speaker 10: I'm over her, Marshall, except well sometimes y He not
an easy woman to forget now, I don't imagine she is.
Speaker 7: H You know he doesn't seem to have changed much,
man U sign broger you mean yeah, stopped in earlier
and had a beer.
Speaker 4: He's quieter, of course there wouldn't be.
Speaker 7: Three years is a long time to spend in her cell,
I'm sure, rescuing.
Speaker 4: Why didn't he.
Speaker 7: Make a fresh start somewhere else? Master? Why do you
have to come back to Dodge?
Speaker 2: How to acqueery himself? So he said, Well, if he couldn't.
Speaker 7: Do it three years ago, he's got even less chance now.
Speaker 2: I'm afraid you're right, kiddy.
Speaker 7: I'm McCaulay here, just gonna mean trouble. Well, she carries on,
I mean, bar attender down the crystal, slipping her along
with that new.
Speaker 4: Trail boss out of the circle.
Speaker 2: Deed.
Speaker 7: I never saw anybody like her, man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a case of too much good looks. I
guess had too little good sense.
Speaker 7: Well, if Jack Dean finds out, she won't have any looks.
Speaker 2: Why don't you tell her what she just came in
she's coming over here.
Speaker 6: H mad there they said i'd probably find you in here.
Oh hello, kiddy, Hello.
Speaker 5: That's on your mind, misty, Matt, Matt, you've got to
arrest Sambruber.
Speaker 2: Oh why for.
Speaker 6: Threatening to kill me? That's why you tell her her truth?
Speaker 5: Well, a little while to go down the streets. He
come up to him, and he said terrible things. He
said he'd come back to Dodge just for one reason
to kill me. And he was wearing a gun too,
and he's not supposed to be.
Speaker 2: Was he wearing a gun on hair? Kitty?
Speaker 6: No, well he was just now it's true, I swear it.
Speaker 2: Anybody hear him threaten.
Speaker 6: You, I don't know. I I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Anybody see him talking to you?
Speaker 6: I don't know. It was dark.
Speaker 5: I turned and run and and then I come looking
for you. Oh, Match, you just got to arrest him.
Speaker 2: Alright, mess Dane, if you'll sign a complaint, I'll go
pick him up.
Speaker 6: Of course I'll sign a complain to me.
Speaker 2: Going down to the jail, and I have Chester fill
one out for you. I'll be when a couple of mine,
who was you?
Speaker 6: Hurry now? I'm scared half to death.
Speaker 7: Sam Berger's not the kind of man to do a
thing like that.
Speaker 11: I don't think so either, kidding, but we could be wrong, Matt.
Speaker 8: There are times when a man of honor like myself
is appalled by the low ethical standards he finds among
his friends and acquaintances.
Speaker 2: Ah is that so? Doctor?
Speaker 8: Go ahead, Doc, eat your move, stay out of this, please,
jes Matt, No doubt you know what I'm referring to.
Speaker 2: I just thought you were talking to keep from having
to move that checker and letting me take two more
of you.
Speaker 6: Man, Very ridiculous.
Speaker 8: I'm as good as got the game war right now?
Speaker 2: Then? Why don't you move?
Speaker 3: I never thought you'd do it? Man?
Speaker 8: Do what left a passing weakness for a pretty woman
make you throw an innocent man into.
Speaker 4: That jail cell?
Speaker 8: Back? He had to Doc, she signed a legal complaint.
Did not talking to you, chestnut?
Speaker 2: And what makes you so sure that he's in us?
Plain commonsense? That's what.
Speaker 8: Plus the fact that Holly Dean happens to be a
born liar.
Speaker 2: That maybe, but he's got a alibi. So it's up
to Judge Bent to decide when he opens court.
Speaker 8: Oh in his yarde shoes twist him around her finger
just like she did.
Speaker 2: You not unless she comes up with some witnesses. Bent
seventy one years old. I don't care.
Speaker 6: What's that got to do?
Speaker 2: Look, go ahead and move the checker so I can
get this game over with. It's late and I gotta
get up early. Around side of the jail.
Speaker 8: Come on, there goes somebody on a horror. Yes said
they're they're getting.
Speaker 2: Away, man, And they've already got away. We only had
a moon tonight.
Speaker 3: What do you suppose they're trying to do what you did?
Speaker 2: And I got a pretty good idea. Go on, let's
take a look back myself.
Speaker 8: But don't you don't think you was somebody trying to Marshall?
Speaker 6: Got you?
Speaker 7: You?
Speaker 2: All right? Sam?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Sure, I'm all right. Shot.
Speaker 2: Just come through the window there.
Speaker 4: What's that all about?
Speaker 2: Saying somebody just tried to kill you? That's it? You
know how the lights on one of 'em must be there?
Speaker 4: Just what is the cheryman to do?
Speaker 2: Man? I surprise her, maybe catch her off balance, got
nothing else to go on? Uh? Sam? Mm, But if
there's trouble, you stay out of it without a gud.
I guess I have to. Holly is not likely to
do when they shooting. Alright, come on, Matt Dylan, I'd
