Gunsmoke 1953 Episode 26

This is episode 26 from 1953 of the radio broadcast of Gunsmoke, which aired on June 27, 1953.
Dodge City is melting. The pumps are dry, the dust is deep, the flies are bold enough to file land claims… and Chester decides the only reasonable solution is to shoot one of them straight through the roof. 😅

Into this heatwave walks Brian Beck, an 18-year-old trying to prevent trouble between his retired Cavalry father, Colonel Beck, and the Lazy B range boss, Bud Stark. Words were exchanged, threats were made, pride got involved, and Brian makes a mistake that can’t be unmade.

When Stark turns up shot in the back behind the livery stable, the whole town points at the easiest answer… until the truth starts leaking out like rain that never quite falls.
