there's nothing like ellen and filter
give you more flavor to david wayne wrote
ellen dams have the best filter of the mall
miracle tip is right
there's nothing like it
diana lindsay's
i had no idea of filter cigarette could taste so good at l and m
their line
mild and full of flavor
yes l and m's are truly sweeping the country
breaking more sales records everyday the reason
it's the filter that counts
and no filter compares with l and m's miracle tip
notice how easy it draws
you get much more flavor much less nicotine
this is it
and then
this is it
something new
now two-sided
and then
you can't
regular
is it
and then
and then
so join the trend
to l and m
king-size
regular
both at the same low price
uh...
uh...
martial arts
coming in
one of the start of
he would have come to deposit money marshal or the bar
well neither
i came to protect it
but the bargain jubilee here are the
car brothers
i know marshal i don't believe i have i've never been around dot
well i know is that their brothers and the older ones name is joe why are you
telling me this michael well i've heard that they're headed for dot shanley
heard that their bank robbers
what do you plan to do
well i can't hire deputies until after a crime has been committed mister
bachan but if you'd like to it might be a good idea that i have a dozen of
muscle over on here
certainly certainly martial
i don't mind a little expand
that's them now
or if you look at it
well i should be killed a cashier
get around there
partly
you want to try it out
dot he's coming this way martial arts would not be a fool kids in the way
that he's got a gun back there robbing my page
now shooting
he told you
my answer up mister
it was gonna shoot
uh...
uh... b
i caught the marshall itself
well we'll have a soon as i get it
this is the first
time i ever designed lawman

you sure didn't
that your brother you came in with what difference to make
take your money car take it now right out with you know but i'll probably not
much up
nobody will show that you are from a lot
not while we're in dot maybe but we've been followed
and take me with you
far like
no martial
we'd be followed anyway
i got a better idea
we're taking her
course out
first sign that she were being chased where it is going to find kitty land
right
rick
if you don't think i'll do it
i'll tell you something
first person i would kill was a woman

such a pretty girl
all right
you go in that office and sit down martial acts cut money ready we're
leaving
nobody seems to hurt me kill the cashier
but don't you run out
tell nobody martial
i won't
and martial
if i do shoot kitty
i promise you one thing
i'll do it with your gun
uh... what
you think they'll give her a breakfast
no
people don't need much
they can go for days without any at all
well i know that
it's getting used to it
it's water people need they'll have
they will take a look
it might be dry out on the prairie this time but it's not that dry any food and
find water sooner or later sure people in the buffalo herd long enough for a
week there's other ways chester like one every year but the binding rod
uh... what about what do you think i wasn't about out there what what are you
talking to me
all just a minute
i guess we waited long enough they must have covered three or four miles
yes
is everything ready
everything i can think of it
now let's get on it
good luck man thanks doc
keep an eye on things that
maybe a long time before we get back
from the bank window i'd watch the cop brothers right north out of town
so just a nice dot about the same direction
on the other side of the arkansas we picked up the trail
follow the easily all morning
but we were careful to stay way behind them out of sight
although we probably cut her on that
viewers
uh...

TH
incorrectly
what
your
Yeah.
No.
Justin.
Look up ahead there on the ground.
Mr. Dillon.
Let's see who it is.
It's a man, Mr. Dillon, some cowboy.
He's been shot.
Bring your water back.
Here.
He's still breathing.
Pour a little water on him.
Yes.
Hey, fella.
You want a drink?
No.
Hey, you thirsty?
Well,
have some water.
Here.
Who are you?
Marshal Dillon from Dodge.
Tell me what happened, huh?
Them two men and that
girl, it was...
Hold my head up, Marshal.
Full of blood, Marshal.
They hurt my back.
Yeah.
Blaine,
my name Blaine.
Oh, what happened?
Them two men,
Marshal, and I
know that girl oughtn't to be with them.
I could tell.
If you look at me,
you're after them, ain't you?
I'm after them.
I seen them, I rode up,
and I asked them who they was.
They didn't
like that.
No.
I know something was wrong with that girl and all,
but I ain't no gunman.
They shot me
right out of my saddle.
Both of them,
two once, we'll get them, Blaine.
If that's any help
to you.
It don't matter now.
That girl hadn't oughtn't to be with them.
Could you hear them?
They didn't say anything.
Something about
a cab and
I don't know.
Look, Blaine, my partner here,
Chester, he'll stay with you.
Sure will. I'll take care of you, Blaine.
Thanks, but
it won't do no good.
You'd better go off
and help catch them fellas.
I'll handle them. Take whatever you want
off my saddle, Chester, and get a fire going.
Yes, Chester.
You'll
be fine, Blaine.
So long.
This is it,
L and M filters.
This is it,
something new.
Now, two sizes.
L and M filters,
new king size and regular two.
This is it,
L and M filters with the Miracle Tip.
L and M filters
are sweeping the country,
breaking more sales records
every day. The reason?
It's the filter that counts.
And no filter compares with L and M's
Miracle Tip for quality
or effectiveness. And notice how
easy it draws. You get
much more flavor, much less
nicotine. Effective
filtration. Our statement of
quality goes unchallenged.
L and M is America's
highest quality and best
filter tip cigarette. Buy L and
M king size. Buy L
and M regular. Buy L
and M's by the cotton.
King size, regular, both
at the same low price.
L and M,
light and mild.
I rode ahead, tracking
slowly for a couple of hours.
Then I saw a dust cloud behind
me. I stopped and waited.
It was Chester.
He rode up and looked at me for a
moment. Then without saying
a word, we continued on the trail
across the prairie.
We traveled in
silence until dark.
Then we saw a cabin.
I couldn't chance
go on up to it, so we unsaddled and
turned our horses loose and crept into a little
draw about a hundred yards away.
Got down
and waited.
We waited all night.
Dawn
came, and
then the sun, hot as
ever.
Ain't
anything nearer coming out of that cabin,
Mr. Jones? Yeah, sooner or later, Chester.
Look, they got a fire
going now. Smoke's
coming out of the cabin.
Breakfast.
I'm so hungry. Why don't you chew
on some of that slippery elm bark of yours?
Slippery elm don't clear your
belly. Now a man can get
along without food, Chester, like
Doc said.
Miss Kitty's gonna get something to eat.
Yeah.
Mr. Jones,
what in the world are we gonna do?
Well, right now there's nothing we can do
but sit here and wait and keep quiet.
You know what'll
happen if they find out we're here.
I don't know, but I ain't thinking
about it.
You better get back down now.
I'll stay up here and know where I can watch.
Yeah, but they could see you, Mr. Jones.
Now, I got a little bunch of buffalo grass in front
of me here. It's enough.
Yes, sir.
Getting hot.
Keep your voice low, Chester.
Okay.
You know, if it wasn't for them in the cabin,
it'd be awful peaceful out here, wouldn't it?
Yeah.
Mr. Dillon, boy,
Mr. Rattlesnake, he's behind you on top of the hole
about five feet back of your head.
Whatever you do,
don't move, Chester.
Don't even breathe if you can help it.
He's looking at me now, Mr. Dillon.
How long is he?
I can't see him.
I can't see him.
He's a big one.
Maybe three and a half, four foot.
I can't see you either.
How far are you from him?
Far enough.
Unless he uncoils,
moves out.
Well, just keep very still.
Let me go away.
He ain't about to go away.
Did you move?
My hand, just a little.
Oh, don't do it again.
Mr. Dillon, he's stretching out.
He's moving.
Which way?
Toward you.
Steady.
He stopped.
He's coiling again.
Chester.
Yes, sir?
Look, if that snake strikes at me,
don't yell.
Just start thinking about it now.
If he strikes, you just close your eyes
and stop breathing.
You hear me?
Well, I'll try.
You'll do it. You understand?
Yes, sir.
He's looking at me again.
You must have moved, Chester.
You must have.
I got my rifle aimed at him.
Now you stop it.
You get your finger off that trigger now.
Well, I can't sit here and watch that rattler strike.
He'll die, don't you know that?
I didn't move, Dillon.
He's looking at you now.
I'll let him look.
I got to do something.
I can't sit here and watch this.
Wait a minute.
Listen to me.
I got an idea.
What?
Are you chewing?
Oh, no, not right now.
But I got a
fairly fresh squid to slip
in my helmet and shirt pocket.
Okay.
I'm going to chance it.
You get that quid into your mouth.
But you do it slow.
Slow and as steady as you can manage it.
Once you start moving your hand,
don't stop.
You understand?
All right, go ahead.
Okay, sir.
What for?
I'll tell you when you get it in your mouth.
I already got my
finger in my pocket.
There it is.
Slow and steady now.
I'm crying.
You're getting in the mouth now.
Oh, juice it up, Chester.
You've got a big mouthful.
I am.
All right.
I've heard you brag about how good you can spit.
Can you hit that rattler from there?
Maybe.
Okay. Do it.
Well, I...
I only got one shot.
I...
I can't make it. I can't do it.
Wait a minute. You've got a mouthful.
I'll have you.
Yes, sir. All right, swallow some of it.
Just a little bit.
Swallow.
I did?
Now let it sit a minute.
How's it feel?
Like whiskey.
Raw whiskey.
All right.
Now take your time.
Make a move.
Make him look at you.
And then splatter him right in the eyes.
Okay.
Go ahead.
Snake.
Hey, snake.
Look.
I got him.
I got him. You know, I got him. He's leaving.
There he goes.
He's gone. It worked.
They can't stay in that cabin forever, Mr. Dung.
They'll die of the heat cooped up in there.
It's only about 10 o'clock, Chester.
My, I hope I gave Miss Kitty some breakfast.
Now the door's open.
They coming out?
They got your rifle.
Easy now.
It's Miss Kitty?
Yeah.
That's the Joe carp behind her.
Now there's his brother.
They're all outside now.
What are we going to do?
We're going to kill him, Chester.
We're going to kill him.
We're going to kill him.
Kill him, Chester.
You mean just shoot him down from here, cold blooded?
How would you want to do it?
I'm ready, Mr. Dung.
All right, then take the one on your side.
That's the brother I'll take, Joe.
Kitty's standing awful close to it.
Yeah, she is.
Now when I say hold your breath, you do it.
And then count to yourself.
One, two, three.
And then fire.
I'm set.
All right.
Hold your breath.
All right, let's go, Chester.
Get back inside, Kitty.
Joe carp's still alive, Mr. Dillon.
He's reaching for his gun.
They're dead.
They're both dead now.
OK, Kitty.
You all right?
Good to see you, Matt. You too, Chester.
Shut them down like dogs, didn't you?
Yeah, you bet we did.
Thank you, Matt.
Well, for Kitty's sake,
she done fainted, Mr. Dillon.
Well, it's a good thing you caught her.
Yeah, well, carry her inside, Chester.
Come on, we'll get some breakfast going.
They probably didn't feed her after all.
And now our star, William Conrad.
Thank you.
If you're a filter tip smoker,
you should be smoking L&M's.
Everyone agrees, L&M's are just what the doctor ordered.
The first filter that really does the job
and a real good taste to go with it.
Maybe you'll prefer L&M's king size, as I do.
But either size, I know you'll like them,
and I know you'll stick with them.
L&M's.
Try them.
