Around Dodge City and in the territory on west, there's just one way to handle the killers
of the spoilers and that's with a US Marshal and the smell of Gunsmoke.
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.
I'm that man, Matt Dillon, the United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the
last they want to meet.
It's a chance a job and it makes a man watchful and a little lonely.
The lively crowd today agrees, those who think young say Pepsi please.
They picked the right one, the modern light one, now it's Pepsi.
For those who think young, so go ahead and pick the drink that lets you drink young as
you think.
Yes, get the right one, the modern light one, now it's Pepsi.
For those who think young.
The modern light one, the modern light one, now it's Pepsi.
Now there's a man that looks like a Dr. Audiluc.
Pardon me sir.
How's that?
I, I wonder if you could give me some information.
What do you want to know mister?
I'm looking for Dr. Adams.
That's his office up there.
Yes, I've just been there but he isn't in.
He ain't huh?
I was hoping you might know where I could find him.
He ain't got no use for a doctor.
Oh, I see.
Well in that case sir.
We looked in the long branch.
The long branch?
Saloon, down the street there.
Oh no, no I haven't.
Doctors likely to be there anywhere else.
He spends a lot of time there.
I see.
Much obliged.
It must be a slow day in Dodge to get both of you in here in the middle of the afternoon.
Don't tempt fate.
Well Kitty, you better not talk about it or the whole town might bust loose.
That happens every Saturday night.
Well I just assumed it didn't happen on a Wednesday.
Me too Matt.
Patching up a bunch of brawling cow hands isn't my idea of a quiet weekend.
Maybe we could get Kitty to stop selling whiskey Doc.
Well that might quiet things down a little bit.
How about that Kitty?
Well if you two would guarantee to support me for the rest of my life, I'd...
Are you looking for somebody mister?
Yes, I am looking for Dr. Adams.
Well I'm Dr. Adams.
Well how do you do?
My name is Weber.
Dr. William Weber.
Oh, nice to meet you.
This is Kitty Russell.
Russell.
Hello Doctor.
Marshall Dillon.
Marshall.
Doctor.
Would you care to sit down Dr. Weber?
Well thank you Miss Russell.
Actually I have come to talk business with Dr. Adams.
Oh well in that case Doctor, we'll leave the table to you.
Don't we Matt?
Well sure Kitty.
Oh please, no I didn't mean to...
Oh we'd be glad to.
Now just wait a minute Kitty.
I have an office of my own.
Yeah you'd do it that.
And I can conduct my business affairs there.
So you'll just come with me Dr. Weber.
Certainly Dr. Adams.
Good day Miss Russell.
Marshall.
Bye.
Doc's not a kind of happy to me.
Ah he's not happy Kitty.
It's his professional pride.
He doesn't often get a chance to show it.
What is a huge man's first duty?
His prime responsibility.
It can be summed up in three words.
Get the story.
To get that story requires ingenuity and resourcefulness.
His integrity prevents him from slanting a story for sensationalism's sake.
Good newsmen view their responsibility as one which requires them to convey word of
the day's events with speed, accuracy and objectivity.
That's the reputation gained by CBS newsmen through many years of bringing the news to
CBS radio listeners from coast to coast.
Today as for decades you're always sure of getting the news fast, first.
Buy a CBS News on CBS radio.
Ah come right in doctor.
Thank you.
Sit down.
Thank you.
Well it's never easy to learn of an old friend's death.
We doctors run into it all the time but it's never easy.
Yes I'm sorry to bring the news Dr. Adams but Dr. Wilson wanted it that way.
You must have been very close at one time.
Yes, yes very close.
Henry and I went through medical college together.
Yes sir.
Started up in practice.
And then the war came.
Life has many dislocations Dr. Webber.
It does indeed.
My purpose in coming here Dr. Adams was not merely to bring you the unhappy news of Henry
Wilson's death.
It was to outline some of his last wishes that concern you.
Concern me?
Yes sir.
Dr. Wilson wanted your help.
Well I don't know what you're getting at Dr. Webber.
It doesn't make sense.
A successful man like Henry Wilson wanting help from me?
It's because it was a success.
Well I don't understand.
Yes well Dr. Wilson had established a clinic in Philadelphia.
Yes I've heard of it.
That's why I'm here.
He wanted you to take charge of it after his death.
He wanted me?
He had a high professional opinion of you Dr. Adams.
We handled some interesting cases together.
Very interesting.
But even more than your professional ability Dr. Wilson respected your judgment in handling
people.
Well I don't understand.
There are some fine young doctors at his clinic but he felt the man in charge should be an
older doctor.
Well I'm older all right.
A man of seasoned judgment as well as professional skill.
A man of varied experience.
Well a man like you Dr. Adams.
I see.
It would mean a life of greatly increased medical opportunity for you.
Advanced methods, research and it would mean a life of greater well comfort.
That would be something wouldn't it.
After all these years a chance to go back to practice medicine as I started out to practice
it.
It would be a position of considerable importance and influence Dr. Adams.
And I should think of considerable financial satisfaction.
Dr. Wilson wanted to be sure the job was attractive to you.
He wanted you to come.
Yes.
That would be something.
Doc.
Come in boy.
It's Billy.
Oh.
It's his arm Doc.
Boss said you was to look at it.
Oh well sure.
Sure.
Come on in Billy.
You won't be able to ride that new coat with a bum arm will you?
All right then come in.
Come in.
It won't hurt you none Billy.
Now then boy let's have a look at it.
Looks like you've fallen off that coat already.
That's right Doc.
He sure did.
Well we'll have to put this back together for you then Billy.
Oh Dr. Webber would you mind getting some gauze and splints out of that cupboard over
there.
Yes.
Yes certainly.
Now let's see Billy.
I guess the first thing to do is to get that shirt off.
Here they are Dr. Adams.
Oh thank you.
All right now Billy.
We'll fix you up as good as new.
Thank you Doc.
Bye.
Bye boy.
The youngsters stood that very well didn't they?
Oh they have to learn to stand things when they're young on the prairie.
It's a harsh land.
Well you know doctor if you stop to think of the proposal I brought with me.
I've been thinking of it.
Life wouldn't be quite so harsh in Philadelphia.
Though I must say little boys break their arms there too.
Well they always did.
Yes Dr. Webber life would be easy.
That's not what I'm thinking about the most.
It's the thought of the equipment.
The chance to use the latest method.
To talk things over with doctors.
Be near libraries.
I'd have to learn how to act Dr. Webber.
Oh no Dr. Wilson didn't worry about that.
Oh him he was an old and faithful friend.
Doc!
All right.
Well Doc the fellow that was just brought into jail and he's been shot and Mr. Dillon
said for you to come.
Was he bleeding bad Chester?
Oh my yes like a stuck hog.
I'll be right there.
Hello this is Dr. Webber Chester.
Hello Chester.
Hi Doc.
Well I reckon I'll get back downstairs.
Yeah but go on Chester go on I'm coming.
Here's your bag Dr. Adams.
Oh thank you thank you.
Say you'd make a good assistant Dr. Webber.
Would you like to come with me?
I would indeed.
You know sometimes the gunshot wounds cause a lot of trouble.
Even if they don't hit a vital spot.
You know bleeding infection.
In constant danger of locked jaw.
Yeah a gun can cause many problems.
Too many Dr. Webber.
Dr. Adams.
Oh hello Ms. Hopkins.
Oh we're just coming to see you doctor.
It'll have to be a little later then Mrs. Hopkins.
It ain't that I need you Dr. Adams.
I just want to thank you.
Why there ain't hardly anybody who'll believe I'm up and around so soon.
Well that's fine fine but we're in kind of a hurry now.
And the baby?
You wouldn't know there's been a bit of trouble about him.
He's eaten like he was trying to catch up with his paw.
Well that's good but you'll have to excuse me now.
I just wanted to say a word of thanks to you doctor.
Bonnie likes a chance to say her thanks.
Sounds like a satisfied customer.
Previa placenta.
That was a dangerous deletion.
I'm sorry.
Dr. Adams, don't you think the practice I can offer you in Philadelphia would give you a more productive life?
Well, I'm trying to get the time to think about it, Dr. Romero.
I can't deny that it is an interesting idea. It's very interesting.
The opportunity, the opportunities for participating in medical advances would be tremendous,
and I should think most satisfying.
And there's something else, Doctor, that I don't wish to sound presumptuous.
Oh, don't you worry about it. I know. I'm getting older.
It's just that life might be easy.
Doc, Doc, it's Mary. She's fainted dead away. I can't rouse her.
Where is she?
Well, she's out to the place. I had a ride to get you.
All right, Tom. Go on back to her. I'll come right away, Doc.
Right away.
Oh, you stay on and finish your dinner, Doctor.
No, certainly not. I don't want to miss any of this.

Oh, Doc. Doc, I'm glad you got here so fast.
She's roused some, but it hurts her awful bad.
All right, Tom. Oh, this is Dr. Webber from Thunder Doctor.
Hello.
We'll look at it together.
Hello, Tom. Doc?
Yes, Tom?
You sure this fellow's a good doctor?
I'm sure he is, Tom.
Let's go.
Is he as good as you are, Doc?
Most people say he was better.
I want to be sure before he came marry.
You can be sure.
Okay. I'll tell her you're here.
Thanks for your recommendation, Doctor.
A man wouldn't get far without a...
No, they just know me.
I'm here, Doc.
Hello, Mary. This is Dr. Webber.
Doc. Doc. Can you help me?
If you'll let me.
You mean that operation?
I told you, Mary. You should have had it before.
It's the only chance you've got.
Tom?
I can't say no again, Mary.
You just took too bad.
You go ahead, Doc.
Would you assist me, Dr. Webber?
I'd be proud to, Dr. Adams.
Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams.
Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking.
I wondered if you'd noticed.
It looks to me like an Indian waiting there by the road.
Yes, I see him.
I guess the best way is to pay no attention to him.
No, Dr. Adams.
He wants to talk to me.
Are you sure you should?
Hello, Strongberg.
I bring robe.
That is a fine robe, Strongberg.
You killed a big buffalo.
The robe is for my son's eyes.
You didn't need to bring a gift, Strongberg.
I was glad to help you.
White Doctor brings sight back to son.
Strongberg brings thanks from his people.
You tell your people that they're welcome.
I thank them for the robe.
Strongberg, go.
Dr. Webber, can you hold this robe for me?
Oh, yes, certainly. Yes, certainly.
Dr. Adams, you treat Indians, too?
Well, only when they let me, Dr. Webber.
Only when they let me.
Dr. Adams.
Yes?
We have a lot of things to offer you in Philadelphia,
but I was wrong about one thing.
We can't offer you more variety.
I have seen some astounding things today.
I just watched you perform a delicate and dangerous operation
under the crudest circumstances,
and perform it with as much skill as though you had the latest equipment.
Well, you learn to use what you've got, Dr. Webber.
And I've seen you receive thanks from the wild Indians.
Oh, Indians are people.
You know, I wasn't so sure at first, Dr. Adams,
but now I know we would be very lucky to have you in Philadelphia
if you feel you can come.
Well, I'd like to come, but...
But you're not coming, are you?
No, I guess I'm not.
A man has to stay where he's needed.
I haven't made much of a mark in medicine.
Then maybe I'd have more of a chance at that, but...
But I'm needed here, Dr. Webber.
I'm needed here.
Can you understand that?
I can understand it, Dr. Adams.
And I can even envy you.
Here's your bag, Dr. Webber.
Thank you. Here's the payment for my bill.
Thank you, sir.
I hope you had a pleasant stay in Dodge City.
Oh, yes, yes, indeed.
It was certainly a pleasure having a man like you visit us.
I hope you'll come again.
Thank you.
We don't get a chance to see a fine doctor in Dodge very often.
Oh, yes, you do, Mr. Dovey.
Yes, you do.
Every day.
Proud we are of being the CBS Radio Network to be able to bring you on this station each weekday
the songs of Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney.
In addition to the sparkling Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney show,
we're equally delighted to present at this same address each weekday
the assorted talents of Art Linkletter, the House Party Man,
Gary Moore and Durwood Kirby, and the rousing Arthur Godfrey time.
There's no business like show business, and nowhere else such a fine sampling of the same
than on this blockbuster CBS Radio Network Entertainment Fest.
The nicest thing about it is, should you miss any or all of these great stars on a Monday,
you can catch right up with them the next day or any weekday you're so inclined.
Remember, nowhere else can you enjoy each and every weekday the Bing Crosby-Rosemary Clooney show,
the conversational gifts of Gary Moore and his perfect foil, Durwood Kirby,
the kids' comedy and cut-ups of Art Linkletter's House Party,
and the air of Glee with Gusto that's a specialty of Arthur Godfrey time.
