NARRATOR: "Gunsmoke."

With Milburn Stone as Doc, Amanda

Blake as Kitty, Ken Curtis as Festus, Buck Taylor as Newly.

And starring James Arness as Matt Dillon.

Hey now, that's the way to keep cool.

Just go to it.

That's it.

FESTUS: Doc?

Phew, She's hotter than a jug full of red ants, ain't she?

-No. -No?

No, I won't buy you a beer.

Well if that ain't the downrightest orneriest thing

I've ever.

I didn't ask you.

No, I knew you were going to, though.

I knew exactly--

I wasn't going to do no such thing.

Fact is I was fixing to offer to buy you a beer.

Oh sure you were.

Of course you were.

Your pockets are always just bulging with money.

All right Mr. Smart aleck, what's that look

like to you right there?

Now where'd you get that?

I've been working.

Well now I ask you a simple question.

There's no need for you to lie to me, Festus.

I ain't a-storying to you now.

I went to work and put new shoes on six

old man's Scroggins' horses and he give me that dollar.

And now you're just going to run out and squander it

on something foolish.

Why don't you take that money and invest it in something?

Why don't you do that?

Invest it in what?

There's wonderful land values outside of Dodge.

Now why don't you go out there someplace-- look around--

and buy yourself a lot.

A lot of what?

A lot.

A lot of land.

Well fiddle.

I can't afford to buy a lot of land.

You probably could the way you been bilking and gouging

folks here in Dodge.

Oh hush up.

I'm trying to help you for heaven's sakes.

It don't cost a whole lot to buy a little lot.

What do you mean it don't cost a whole lot

to buy a little or a whole lot to buy a lot?

What do you mean?

Well I mean a little lot of land.

Their ain't no such a thing.

A little's a little, and a lot's a lot.

There ain't no little lot or lot of little, don't you see?

Now you want that beer or don't you?

No, I'm all worn out.

If you change your mind, me and Newly'll

be over to Long Branch having a whole lot of little beers.

[scoffs] And I'm buying.

[music playing]

Newly?

You in here?

Where's Matt Dillon?

What do you think you're doing here?

Where is he?

He's went to Abilene with a prisoner

if it's any of your business.

You said he was in town.

Well he was when I come to check.

I didn't hear nothing about no prisoner.

When's he due back?

He didn't say.

I said he didn't say.

Tuck, bring the keys in here.

Watch 'em.

You old boys my just well hold hands.

You're going to be here a spell.

I don't know what you think you're up to, but I'll darn

tell you this--

Can't you figure, fuzzy?

We're taking over your town.

It'll take a heap more than the likes of you to do that.

You ain't got your eyes open very good, boy.

It's already been done.

This is an outrage.

Why do they always say things like that.

It's just money.

Now ain't it better us having it than you?

Puff-pigeoning around town, cheating widows with it?

[laughter]

Get that safe open Bones.

He doesn't know the combination and neither do I.

Remember it now?

HOBEY: Come on folks.

Step right up.

Good morning, mother.

Thank you very much.

Hey, ain't you got nothing for me, rock chopper?

Ah good.

That all there is?

A bad year down the whole, huh?

What's that?

Belonged to my son, killed in the war.

Give it back.

Come on.

Hey, it was a good year.

Now we don't aim to do no killing, folks.

Course, it could happen, you understand.

Go on.

Might better take that toy shooter

you've been itching to get at before you get killed over it.

You ain't got the guts or the caliber, dough belly.

[music playing]

Breed.

[shout]

Come on.

[laughing]

[woman shrieks]

There's all kinds of fools.

The right smart of them are dead like your friend there.

Don't you folks get twitchy and join them.

They shot Tom Dunphy down like a dog.

Did you know that they had Festus

and Newly locked up in jail?

Yeah.

That might just be the best place for them now.

Well, it sure looks like they've

got just about everything that the town has.

You're going to be next.

It's all stacked and ready for them.

But we can't put up with this, and what's more I won't.

Swamp ploppers.

The one that took my cash box smelled like last Thursday.

Look, we've got to get word to the Marshal somehow.

Oh Burt, the wires are all down.

We got guns. You all got guns at home.

Go get them. [gunshot]

That was a long way from the heart, wasn't it?

But it gets closer as you get foolish.

Now being honest, ain't nothing happening to you that you

can't live with real easy.

Just gonna take a few things and get gone.

A few things?

Yeah, you wiped us all out.

Well shoot, it don't matter.

You boardwalkers is hard workers.

Right?

You'll get well in no time.

That is if you don't go clustering up

like you're doing.

A fella could get killed that way.

Either of you two ever been shot?

Now you take one here, say-- course that's

if it don't hit the lights.

And it just burns like a red hot poker

straight over from hell's right arm.

Or take one here and it just lasts.

Now if I smell to you like last Thursday,

you just be thankful you still got a working smeller.

How about both of you, uh, kind of go gentle.

You here?

I'm way too old to be doing that.

Doc?

He's bleeding bad.

Let's get him upstairs quick.

You got business out here on the street pretty lady?

No business.

I'm just trying to stay out of the way of two-bit killers

who shoot old men.

[music playing]

They're on their way in, Miss Kitty.

Don't say a word, Sam, no matter what.

Nice of you to have it all stacked up for us.

But you left something out.

It isn't real.

I wouldn't be wearing it in front of you if it was.

Consider it a gift.

Whelan's the name.

Dan Whelan, lady.

Remember it.

Oh I will, Mr. Whelan.

I will.

Here we go.

I guess we've got just about all there

is to it in this town, Whelan.

Not quite, kid.

Yeah, I know we came hunting a badge,

but the badge isn't here. So let's get gone.

He'll be back.

We'll wait.

You don't know when the Marshal of this here town-- Dillon,

is it-- will be back, do you?

Never heard of the man, Mr. Whelan.

Never seen folks so intent on protecting a badge.

Boys, amuse yourselves.

Have a time.

We're waiting.

Not smart.

Drink, partner.

Enough to float bar.

I guess our money ain't no good here.

Ain't that right, Pilgrim?

Godless money in a good God-fearing town.

HOBEY: Oh come on now, Sweet Pea.

Let's get that high grade up here.

You've got some good stuff back there, now don't you?

You know I had me a Bluetick hound once

had a face like that.

Seen himself looking back at him from a pond surface

and went into a thicket and died of shame.

Now come on.

Where's your manners?

Let's get them bottles up here.

Oh well now.

You know, I seen me some sunrises,

I seen me some sunsets.

But I ain't never seen it all put together like this.

I-- I don't reckon that something such as you

would go wanting.

But then again, just maybe you ain't seen all of--

Could have had meat and marrow all over that back bar.

Name's Kitty Russell.

My place.

HOBEY: Hey Miss Russell.

You happen to have a pack of cards

around this here fancy house?

Sam.

Come on Breed.

Let's see what's in that head of yours.

All right. Come on.

Let's get to betting.

What you betting?

Well, bank money ain't divvied yet.

Let's just bet with what we got.

I tell you, Breed, you got a mind

that'd fit through the hind end of a needle.

Now take it easy.

You're too touchy, Breed.

Just a game.

Just a game while we're waiting, Breed.

So you're all just gonna sit around and wait until Marshal

Dillon gets back, right?

I didn't think nobody knew who Dillon was really.

Oh, Whelan's got some old score to settle with him.

Do you know who Dillon is?

Mhm.

He's a man with a little tin badge.

Do you know who Dan Whelan is?

Tell me.

Well now, he's the man who taught Bill Cody the front

from the back end of a buffalo.

Hmm.

Done some law in Ellsworth, Hays, Gold Camp, such like.

A law man.

I guess he was good and caring one.

But I don't blame him for venturing.

Pays better on this side.

This, uh, old score you mentioned--

do you know what it is?

Well now, I never did quite get that straight.

But I'll tell you one thing, I never seen a man

so set on killing another man.

So when Dillon gets back, why he's going to make

him watch while he burns the town.

Then he's going to shoot him.

Put his fire out permanently.

[music playing]

LOOMIS: And this here watch just can't beat what I got here.

Don't need no watch, Loomis.

I'll take that stick pen you got.

Oh hey, hey.

Huh? Huh?

[laughter]

That's lady music.

Hell, I'd thought I'd seen them all, Miss Kitty.

Well, if I'm any judge you'll be seeing

a lot more before morning.

I've been wrong before, but not too often.

Let it heat up a little with a bunch like that,

you never know what might happen.

This here's an opal.

I'll raise you an opal.

What a opal?

Precious stone, bonehead.

Precious?

It means they cost a lot of money.

How much is a lot of money?

Oh, 100, 150.

All right.

That oughta cover it.

Call.

Trip deuces.

Snaked.

Well.

Three Jacks.

You got your luck, Loomis.

Yeah, I ain't never seen nobody draw the way you done.

Getting a little warm over there.

Yeah, the one they call Loomis has sure

got a hot streak to him.

He's palming and taking double cards.

He's got one in his sleeve right now.

Cheating?

How can you see that from here?

Sam, I've been seeing that kind of action

since they took me off of recipe feeding.

Go on. Deal.

It don't get no better talking about it.

Well, it's got to be luck because I ain't that smart.

His kind of luck quits all of a sudden

as soon as the rest of them find out what's causing it.

Well I'll make this to equal them two

rings you just put in there.

What's that good for?

Spittoon?

-Back East, a hat like this-- -Oh yeah.

It is precious.

Lord, lord.

You gonna laugh your stone heads off.

I'm calling.

With what?

A top hat?

HOBEY: It's got its value, I'm telling you.

Yeah, maybe on a shelf back in Boston.

[inaudible]

Call.

I got me two pair.

Two deuces and then two 10s.

Kings full over tres. [laughing]

Sometimes I feel like I was born

on the wrong side of the bed.

Loomis, you've got more luck than an island

full of shamrocks.

Sure would seem so.

Oh bud.

Fortune's a moonbeam house [inaudible].

Don't last long, then she's gone.

Can I get you gents another bottle?

Why sure, Red.

Well.

Looks like this is good for a little credit.

-What happened? -Loomis was cheating.

Hobey shot him.

-We needed every man. -Don't matter.

He was cheating.

Hiding cards.

There are somethings a man don't do.

Bank money's there. Share it out.

Take what's coming to each of you.

Partridge, Gentry, get him out of here.

Now it's a whole new game.

We've got real money to play with.

You going to sit in, Whelan?

I got other things on my mind.

Gone jumpy.

He didn't he'd have to wait.

Going up against Dillon nerve it up some.

I should have gunned him.

Save him his fretting.

Hey, you got a new deck of cards?

You play poke, Red?

Time or two.

Friendly games.

Take a seat.

Three-handed poker no good.

Well, it seems as though you've got all my money.

Them earrings would do just fine.

Ain't real.

You got anything that's real, lady?

What's in it for me?

If I win you're going to take it all back anyhow.

Hold on.

Hold on, woman.

Now we steal a little bit from time to time.

And we've killed a few folks who got in our way,

but we don't cheat or welch.

Now if you've got something to bet, Red, sit down.

Give her Loomis's money.

Yeah, he ain't going to be making no investments.

Yeah.

Not where he's going.

Paper don't last long.

Come on.

Take a seat and get some of this free money.

This is seven card stud, folks.

Jokers wild with aces straights and flushes.

Now let's see if luck lives with the lady.

[cards shuffling]

Hey.

What in thunder do you think you're trying to do?

I'm trying not to put it in your ear.

Which you could have done just as easy.

And what do you think you're doing?

Ain't nobody leaves town.

Well I'm a doctor.

I got to deliver a baby.

You ain't got nothing to deliver accepting yourself back

where your hole's at old man.

Now you just try to understand this.

This lady's already lost one baby-- her first one.

This is her second.

Now she needs me.

Women been having babies alone with no doctors

to meddle around in it ever since Adam lost a rib.

Now you know you look like you just about ornery enough

to use this thing.

Instrument like that ain't for borning no babies, old man.

We liable to kill the poor little thing

with something like this.

Now you get on back to your place else

your head is going to be laying out there all over that street.

Whoa now.

Come here.

Here.

Back up.

Back.

Back up.

Back up.

I'll raise you $200.

I'm out.

Call.

Call.

You got you a real poker face there, Red.

You bluffing?

It'll cost you $200 to find out.

Can I get in this game?

Shut up your talking.

Nines full over deuces.

You ain't playing us fast and loose, now, are you Red?

Look, I saw what you did with cheats.

I'm not going to risk it.

Besides, you dealt it, Mister.

Oh, five card stud this time.

DAN: You know a lot about stud, do you Red?

I know a lot about a lot things, Mr. Whelan.

I'll bet you do at that, lady.

Five of clubs, eight diamonds, ace of clubs, queen of hearts,

three of hearts.

Ace bets.

$25.

I'll raise you $25.

And $50.

On a three?

Ain't you even going to look at your whole card?

I bet on my luck not on my card, sonny.

And people standing behind me make me nervous.

It's $100 to you.

Call.

$75 to you Mr. Musgrove.

I know what it is.

Deal the cards.

King of hearts, no help.

Ten of diamonds, possible straight flush.

Other smiling ace.

Five of spades, no place to go.

Seven of diamonds.

Pair of aces runs it.

$100.

I'm out.

Call.

I'm out.

Call for three.

Pot's right and gone.

Five of hearts, that bust side up.

Five of diamonds.

Four of spades, and straightening nicely.

Hey, you ever going to look at that hole card?

If it'll make you feel any better.

Aces are still the power.

$200.

$100.

It's pretty steep, but I've stayed in this far.

Good money after bad?

Looks like it's just you and me, Mr. Musgrove.

Jack of diamonds.

And the card I need is the six of spades.

$500.

Worth my time putting it in the pot?

KITTY: Just a minute.

$500 you said.

All right.

I'll raise you $1,000.

I'll raise you $1,000.

Well Mr. Musgrove?

It'll cost you $1,000 dollars to look at my hand.

MUSGROVE: All the fives are out, lady.

The only card that can take me is the Joker.

You got it, lady.

Thank you.

You bluffed me.

That's poker, Mister.

And that's not in the book.

You let her buy you out.

You think you can beat her?

Put your money down.

You got my seat.

A little game of chance, gambling man?

Lady, you do intrigue me.

Well, that's what it's all about, Mr. Whelan.

Or hadn't you heard?

Deal.

[music playing]

You're a pretty good poker player, Mr. Whelan.

Is that a fact, lady?

Except that you have a tendency to get reckless when you lose.

Cut.

Five-card draw, lowball.

I'll open.

$200.

Two cards.

Dealer takes a lid.

$500.

And raise you $500.

You must have a pretty good low.

But let's make it interesting.

I'll raise you another $1,000.

What are you worried about?

It's not as if you had worked hard and earned the money,

is it?

That bother you, lady?

Why should it?

I'm winning.

It's just a game, Mr. Whelan.

Call.

Eight low.

I payed.

I look.

Queen.

My my, you've got all the brass in the world, lady.

Time to spell [inaudible], ain't it?

I don't want to miss none of this.

I've been to 11 cock fights, four state fairs,

and two monkey wrestles.

I ain't never seen the like.

How long you reckon they'll keep it up?

Till one or the other of them's belly up and broke, I reckon.

I can't figure her out.

She ain't no usual type poker player.

Our lady, she don't play for fun.

Five card stud.

Jokers wild.

See how nice I am to you, Mr. Whelan?

Five of hearts, your bet.

$200.

Only $200 for an ace?

Let's make it interesting.

I'll raise you $200.

Deal me.

KITTY: Back to back.

Looks like your luck is changing.

Possible heart flush.

Two aces, bets $300.

Called.

My heart.

Can't win 'em all.

Or can you?

My flush is looking better all the time.

$300.

Call.

No raise?

Money card's on the way.

I'll wait.

And that's the card I needed to beat you.

$700.

Three aces into a flush?

I'll play my game.

You play yours.

Call.

And I'll raise you $1,000.

And I'll raise you $1,000.

And $500 more.

I'm beginning to think you improved those aces.

Cost you five more to find out.

Well, it's only money, right Mr. Whelan?

Here's your $500.

And I'll raise you $2,000.

$2,000?

I can't cover that.

It's a no-limit game, Mister. You set the rules.

You're trying to buy the pot again, aren't you lady?

I don't have to. I've got you beat.

Like hell.

You boys, come here.

I need some money.

Well she's done cleaned us out.

Give up what you've got.

I've got enough left to buy supper for a prairie dog.

Mr. Whelan, if you're really broke

and you feel that strongly about betting your hand

I have a suggestion.

You're talking.

What do I put up?

One man's life.

Dillon?

That's him.

Why?

It doesn't make any difference.

Why?

Personal reasons.

A few thousand dollars against Dillon's life.

It ain't enough.

Then everything I've won back from you and your men.

You'd gamble this whole town for Dillon.

Then lady, you've got a bet.

You just lost a town full of pretty things, along with one

big Marshal's life.

Four aces.

Don't you want to see my hole card?

Not unless that hole card makes a hand that'll beat four aces.

Like a little straight flush?

Lady, that's impossible.

KITTY: Why?

Because you've got the queen of hearts in the hole, lady.

Now how would you know that, Mr. Whelan?

That card was out in the last hand.

I saw that crimped corner.

Well now, where I come from that would be called cheating.

But all's fair in love and war.

I just happened to notice another card

with a crimped corner.

Now would you look at that.

If I'm not mistaken that's a straight flush.

And it beats four aces.

You lose, Mr. Whelan.

Bye.

Joker?

Why'd you think I was betting all this time?

Luck?

You lose, Mr. Whelan.

Goodbye.

Wasted a lot of time and work for nothing.

Come on.

Let's get out of here.

What're you talking about?

You lost.

She said it right.

I came too far.

I've been planning this too long.

Bet's a bet, Whelan.

I figured you for a lot of things, Mr. Whelan,

but not a welcher.

Nothing's changed.

We're going to do what we came here to do.

I'm out, Whelan.

Now what's the matter with you?

We got a fortune out of this town.

You just going to ride out and forget it?

Had a fortune, Whelan.

We lost it.

We ain't welchers.

What kind of sense is that?

You just don't understand, do you?

Man don't cheat.

I don't what?

BREED: You cheat, we're gone.

Don't make no sense, but that's the way it is.

We're moving on out.

Go on then.

I don't need you or-- you or anybody.

I came to this town to get Dillon,

and I ain't leaving until he's lying on the street.

What's going on?

Hey Hobey.

-We're leaving. -What do you mean we're leaving?

What's this about?

Ah, Whelan lost all the money, and now he wants it back again.

We getting out.

You want to stay with him, you stay.

-No chance. -Gather up all 'em guns.

We're taking them with us.

What for?

Posse don't cut no ice without guns.

Hell, we leave them deputies locked up.

We'll get the horses and be right out.

HOBEY: Hurry up with those horses.

Come on.

Let's get moving.

FESTUS: Doc?

What'd they do with the keys? FESTUS: They took 'em.

Newly? What, you all right?

I'm all right.

What's happening out there?

Well, they all rode out of town just now, except Whelan.

He's got Kitty in the Long Branch,

and he's going face Matt. He's waiting for him.

Ain't there nothing we can do?

Well I can't-- with you in here?

I don't-- I'll think of something.

Doc.

There's some-- some tools in my gun shop.

Get 'em. -I'll get 'em.

I'll get 'em.

I'd hurry, Doc.

Looks to me like your luck is poor all around, Whelan.

How about a drink?

I don't need your talk, woman.

You better take the drink.

You're going to need it.

You think he can't be gunned like anybody else?

You're trying to kill him and you don't know?

Tell me, Whelan.

What is it that drives a man like you

into wanting to kill somebody so bad that you'd

commit suicide to do it?

I was a lawman.

You don't say.

Dillon cost me my badge and my job.

Six years gone like it was nothing.

Funny thing about Matt, he never

could stand a crooked lawman.

Lady, when I get done with him it won't make any difference

what he can stand.

Well then you better be a better gunman

than you are a card player.

I figure I'm looking at a dead man, Mr. Whelan.

[horse hooves outside]

Get over here now.

What is it?

Company?

I said get over here now.

I'm not playing your game anymore.

FESTUS: Here, Doc.

Let me try it in here.

[inaudible].

That's Matt.

Matt.

Matt, Whelan's in town.

He's got Kitty in the Long Branch.

I said get over here now or I'll blow your head off.

No you won't.

You don't have the nerve.

He's warned, Whelan.

Your men are gone.

You're a coward alone.

[YELLING] Dillon!

I got your woman in here.

If you don't throw your gun in I'll kill her, I swear.

How does it feel to have your back to the wall?

Whelan, leave her alone.

You want me?

Here I am.

Dillon, I'll kill her.

No he won't, Matt.

He's a loser on his last losing streak.

Here, sit down.

I'll get my bag.

Kitty, what's been going on?

Oh Matt, I'm just too tired to tell you about it tonight.

This must have been some game.

Hm, poker.

For those kind of stakes?

No limit.

And you were playing?

Yeah, a little.

But you promised me you weren't going to deal

anymore at the Long Branch.

Oh Matt, I-- I wasn't dealing.

Honestly.

But you won?

Yeah.

I won.

Anybody missing that?

Matt, you're just going to have to believe me.

This was one game I just couldn't afford to lose.
