Yèah many thanks J Mac!!!....I 'm addicted to this awesome radioshow and its characters ..all these great actors ...and not to forget all the great solid storylines many of them written by John Meston. I simply cann't get out of 'the Matt, Kitty, Chester and Doc' Dodge City. Almost every story tells about 'real life' and 3-D people. And full of humour too. 480 episodes of The Gunsmoke Radio Show.....what else?!!
I thought that I had listened to every episode of Gunsmoke - 2 or 3 times, this is the first time for this one. I haven’t even seen it listed before. Thanks
No, there are several others that are much darker than this. but it was a good one very gritty and that’s what I like about gunsmoke not all of their episodes. Have a happy ending. This was real life.
Yes, but this was real life. That’s one reason I love gunsmoke so much in my opinion it was the best western on radio, and one of the best radio shows in general ever.
I’ve heard over 400 episodes, multiple times! Been listening since I was a teen and I’m 48. Tonight is the first time I’ve heard this one. Thx!

Same here!
Thanks for posting!.😊
Thank you for sharing this old Gunsmoke episode.
Word ❤🎉
I grew up watching Gun smoke. I'm 71 years old. There's only one episode I hadn't seen. It had James Arnes's real daughter, Jennifer, in it.
GUNSMOKE had so many shows with downbeat endings.
No wonder they couldn't get sponsors.
Best radio drama of all - time.
I guess that is why the show was considered an adult drama.
@@jmac5755 Yes. Not a shoot- em - up with well- worn, cliched storylines. It is ART!
That's probably the darkest episode in the history of the radio series.

They literally use the term "pull yourself up by your bootstraps"!
Yes, they sure did. Kitty said it in the opening scene.
