Seven is a significant number for a variety of reasons.One highly entertaining reason we'd like to remind you of is the magic number of top daytime dramatic serials only the CBS radio network sends your way each Monday through Friday.
No less than seven of America's longtime favorite dramas.Comedy abounds with the couple next door and drama with the light touch on the second Mrs. Burton.
Other top CBS radio dramas enjoyed by millions include The Romance of Helen Trent, Whispering Streets, and The Right to Happiness.
Hours of absorbing entertainment every weekday come from these top dramas presented exclusively by CBS Radio and brought to you as an important part of the different sound of this station.
Come on, Rad.I got the horses out here.Let's get moving.I'll be along, Bone.Even that right gut they call whiskey is gonna... What you doing?Changing my shirt.Changing your shirt?You ever think you're doing that, Bone?
Not for going into Dodge City, I can tell you. It'd be a waste of time.
Gals might think different.
Hey, not them gals, Rat.All they're interested in is your money.They don't care if you smell pretty or not.You sure don't have to worry about that, Bones.
Besides, if they want a slicked-up dude, they can make eyes at that Easterner blew in a few days ago.What's his name?Scott.Yeah, yeah, Scott.He's kind of interested in your little gal down at the Long Branch, ain't he? He better not be.
Well, I seen him with her last night when I was in town.He'd be a tough man to beat, right?I bet he changes his shirt every other day or so.
I'll change it for him if he ain't careful.
And now here's daddy's rich.Now, there's a tough hand to beat.Money, good looks.
He's gonna lose them both if he don't stay away from Miss Laurie.
Miss Laurie?Yeah.Ain't we getting polite now?Shut up, Boone. Now, you sure you got yourself fixed up purty enough?Bone, you start riding me.Don't you worry, none.Of course, you have any trouble with that dude you just come told, Bone?
I thought you was in a hurry.Well, I am.I'm dry.Then stop talking and let's get going.
Yeah.Well, this may not be the best beer in the world, Kitty, but it's a lot better than that stuff they serve up at Hayes City.
Yeah, Kitty, this saloon, bad as it is, looks mighty good after some of the places I've been in on this trip.
Well, look here, Matt.You get as good a run for your money here as any place in Kansas.
I was just saying, Kitty, that I'm glad to be back.
Oh, hello, Andy.You know Marshall Dillon?
Andy's on a visit from back east.
Oh, a business trip?No.No, it's a graduation present from my father, Marshall.This trip out here, I mean.Ah.When I get back home this fall, I'll be going to work.
Sounds like you better enjoy yourself while you can.
Yes, I guess that's right. Miss Kitty?
I was looking for Laurie.
She ought to be here any time.Oh, uh... Well, I'll... Andy, if you have a minute, why don't you sit down?I'd like to talk to you about something.Alright. You want a beer?
No, thank you.Uh, Kitty, uh, I'll be over at the bar.
You can stay if you want.It's not private.
Oh, I know that.But Mr. Hightower just came in.He has some papers for me.So, uh, I'll... I'll see you later.
What did you want to talk about?
She's very young, you know, Andy.She's just 18.
And I wouldn't want to see her hurt. Neither would I. If her parents were alive, she wouldn't be working here at all.
Miss Kitty, Laurie and I have become good friends, very good friends.And she's told me a lot about herself.I'm sure she has.She was stranded.She needed money and a place to stay and people to be around.
I don't think it's been hurting her, working here, I mean.
Then what you're saying is that you don't want to see her hurt by me.
That's right.Neither do I. You're seeing an awful lot of each other.She's pretty fond of you.I hope she is.But with you, this whole thing's just part of your trip west, your big adventure on the plains.It's after you leave that I'm worried about.
When the time comes for me to leave, I hope Laurie will leave with me, come back to Philadelphia to stay.
You're talking about marriage?
Now, if you'll excuse me.I'll see you later, Miss Kidding.
Sure.Well, I sure solved a lot that time, didn't I?
Swing em doors open for me, right?I'm a thirsty man.Will you swing him open for yourself bone?Come on right I'll buy first round Look good there look just like I told you That clean shirt ain't gonna do you no good.
That dude's already beaten your time.Yeah.
You order up some beer.I'll be back.
I want you to come sit with me.
Rad, I'm sorry, but I'm engaged for the evening.
You are, huh?A young, wet-eared dude comes to town, moves in on all the gals.
I'm only interested in one of the ladies, Dawson, and she accepted my invitation first.Well, don't that sound pretty now?
Rad, please don't make any trouble.
What?I ain't gonna make no trouble, Miss Laurie.Not tonight.Rad... But I tell you how it's gonna be.I'm coming to town every night from now on, and all them engagements is gonna be with me.It seems to me that's up to Miss Laurie.Sure enough.
It's up to Miss Laurie. And if she wants you to be able to get back where you come from in one piece, schoolboy, she'll see it my way.You get out of here.Sure I will.I'll go right now.
But you better not let me catch you near this gal again, schoolboy.I'll teach you a new kind of lesson.
Sociable, up-to-date, debonair.
What's this, a new word game?
No, I'm just mentioning the qualities that people admire in other people.
Oh, I see, if you're sociable, up-to-date, and what was that other word, debonair?
Yes, debonair, but listen to it this way. Keep up to date with Pepsi.Drink light, refreshing Pepsi.Stay young and fair and debonair.Be sociable.Have a Pepsi.
Notice how many of your friends are serving Pepsi-Cola these days.It's the up-to-date refreshment.
What's on your mind, Chester?
What's happened?Clean up for what?
Why, she's coming to see you.That's what's... Excuse me, Mr. Dillon.I gotta get things picked up.
Chester, would you leave those papers on my desk alone?
Well... All right, but it looks awful tacky.
Now, just stand still and tell me what this is all about.Who's coming to see me?
Why, that pretty little Laurie Benson, Mr. Dillon.I just seen her having dinner over at Delmonico's, and that's what she said.She said she was coming right down here.That's what... Oh, my goodness, there she is.
Just take it easy, Chester.I think we can handle it.
Well, I surely do hope so.How to do, Miss Laurie?Come right in.
Hello, Chester, Marshal Dillon.
Well, Marshal, I don't know if I should have come here or not, but... well, I need help.
Oh?Well, uh, why don't you sit down?Let me dust off this chair for you.
Well, thank you, Chester. No, Laurie.
We surely would be glad to help you, Miss Laurie.
All you have to do is just say the word, and we'll be there fixing up anything that you need fixing up.Ain't that so, Mr. Dillon?
Well, I think we ought to know what it was first, Chester, don't you?
Well, yes, sir, of course.We'd have to know what it was first.Now, all you need to do is just speak right up, Miss Laurie.
Well, I want... That's right.
Now, you just... Chester.
Mr. Dillon?Weren't you on your way over to the livery stable to see how that sore-legged horse was getting on?
Well, Chester, I was... All right.All right.Excuse me, Miss Laurie.
Now, Laurie, what's on your mind?
Marshal Dillon, can one man keep another man from seeing somebody?
Well, I'd say that would depend on the men, Laurie.
I have a friend named Andrew Scott.
Well, do you know Red Dawson?
Well, he seems to like me.He's always been, well, very nice, until Andy came to Dodge.Now Red says he'll hurt Andy if Andy and I see any more of each other.
Well, that's not too surprising, Laurie.
Andy's stubborn, Marshall.I'm afraid he'll get hurt.I don't want him to get hurt on account of me.
He seems to have a mind of his own.
But, Marshall, they mustn't fight. I thought you might kind of talk to them.
I tell you, Laurie, stopping a couple of men from fighting over a pretty girl is something I can't do much about.
No, no, Laurie, I'm not laughing at you.I'm very serious.It's just that... well, this kind of thing isn't exactly in my department.
Then you won't help me?You won't talk to them?
I'll do anything I can, Laurie, to help you, but... there's just one thing.
I can't promise that either one of them's gonna pay any attention to what I say.
I'll say this, Rat, it's mighty interesting coming to town every night, but... I sure don't know how long money's gonna hold out.I ain't begging you to come with me every time, though, but it just don't seem right for me to let you come here alone.
Hey, look, lookie there, coming out of Delmonico's.Don't seem like you scared that schoolboy so bad after all.You shut up.Little gal hanging on his arm so nice and pretty.Thought you wasn't gonna stand for that no more, right?I ain't, Bone, I ain't.
You, schoolboy, turn around.
Hey, you're wearing a gun, right?You better be.I warned you, schoolboy.I told you to stay away from her.
Get back, Laurie.Get back in the doorway.
You'll have to do more than warn me, Dawson.I'm a-going to.Andy!
Get him, Bull.Get him.All right, that's enough.Now drop your guns, all of you.He shot me, Marshal.I got a right to protect myself.I saw it, Rad.You drew on him first.Now go on, drop your guns right now.All right, Andy, get Laurie away from here.
I'm not afraid of him, Marshal.Do what I said.
Yes, sir. Well, it seems to me you're letting the wrong man go, Marshal.That kid shot right in the shoulder.Might be a pretty bad wound.You ought to lock that boy up.
You listen to me, Bone.If you want to help Red, you get him up the docks, then you get him out of Dodge, and you keep him out.Well, ain't no law says he can't come back here.There is now.
How you makin' it, Rad?Shoulder hangin' together all right?It ain't my shoulder that's eatin' that.Yeah.No count Marshall sure talks mighty bad.
That ain't the Marshall needin'.I gotta get me that Andy Scott.
I gotta get him good, Bo.You ain't got no chance to do nothin' that Marshall see you and Dodge again.He ain't gonna see me.What you figurin' on?
I'll lay low till it's dark and hide out near the Dodge house.That's where he lives.I'll go on and ambush the kid.When he comes back from seeing Lori, I can jump him real easy.Figure on killing him.I don't much care what happens to him.
I'll tell you true, I'm going to give that kid the beating of his life.
Hey, Rad, why don't we bring him out to our place? Why bother carrying him way out there?Well, now, that kid, he's got a rich daddy, ain't he?Yeah, I guess so.Well, he'd make us a pile of money, and you could teach that kid a lesson at the same time.
How?Well, his daddy'd pay good money to have us turn him loose.How would he know?We'd get the kid to write him a letter, telling him to.Well, I don't know. Main thing I want is for him to leave Lori alone.
Well, you do whatever you want after we get the money.
You know, you might just be right at that, Bone.After all, a little money never hurt nobody.
Here comes Elmer Blurt, world's lowest pressure salesman.
Nobody home, I hope, I hope, I hope.It says here, J.P.Pullum Dentist.You wouldn't want to buy a new 1959 Rambler, would you, Doc?You are a lucky man.I just happen to have a vacancy.
Sit down.Yeah, but, Doc... Open wide.Oh, that's right.You know, you don't have to sell me on the 59 Rambler.It's first in economy, first in sales gains, and no wonder.Rambler has the best of both.Big car room, small car economy.
Yeah, but, Doc... Oh, relax.Can't you salesmen ever stop selling? You know, Rambler's got quite an idea with that personalized comfort.Independently adjustable front seats, adjustable headrests, easiest parking and handling in America.
But that 59 Rambler is so terrific, it makes you want to put your foot right down on the accelerator!Now, that didn't hurt, did it?
Oh gosh, Willikers, no, that's my lower plate you've been drilling.
Rambler outsells all six of the best-selling foreign makes combined.59 Rambler sales are nearly two and a half times greater than a year ago.See the success car at Rambler Dealers.
I'm going downstairs, Laurie.I'll look in on you again a little later.
Oh, I'm all right, really, I am, Kitty. I'm ashamed I gave way so, but... Well, I just couldn't believe Andy'd go away like that.That he'd run.
I'm sorry, I... Honey, this wasn't his world.You mustn't blame him too much.
I know, Kitty, I know.I shouldn't have expected anything, but... Well, I did think he'd at least say goodbye.
And that wouldn't have hurt him, I'll say that.But you might as well learn this lesson while you're still young enough to get over it.
That the less you expect from a man, any man, the better off you are.I'll see you later, Laurie.
Yeah, you better answer me boy you better speak up yeah You're wasting your time, Bone.Not my time, schoolboy, yours.Get up off of the floor.Come on, get up.Now, I'm telling you true, I'm your friend.Oh, right, he'd shot you right off.
He had his chance.Well, he'd have shot you last night if I hadn't argued him out of it.Now, look, all you have to do is just tell me how to write your diary.That ain't so much, is it?I'm not gonna tell you. You're gonna tell me.
Won't take a little time, but you'll tell me.All right, you just lay there a while and figure on it.I'll be back.
Won't do you any good to kill me?
You got us all wrong, schoolboy.We ain't gonna kill you.No, sir.Of course, you ain't gonna get no food or no water till you tell us how to write to your daddy.
You won't get anything from me.
Well, then, you might be running the chance of starving to death, but that'd be up to you.Get out of here.I think I'll do that for now.But I'll be back, schoolboy.And next time Rad may be with me, I tell you true, he just don't take kindly to you.
He don't take kindly to you at all.
Can I sit down with you, Mr. Dillon?
Sure, Chester.Thank you.I was beginning to worry about you.It's not like you to be late for a meal.
I sure do hope there's some of that pie left.I declare I could have wrung his neck.
Old Dobie, or the Dodge house.I just couldn't get away from him, and I knowed it was dinner time.
What was Dobie ragging you about this time?
Well, he's awful upset over that young fella, Andy Scott.
Scott, is he back in town?
It's just the trouble, he ain't.He left without paying his bill.He left his stuff strewn all over his room.Mr. Dobie's fit to be tied.He's acting like an old maid about it, if you ask me.
Wait a minute, Chester.Dobie didn't see Scott leave?
Well, he ain't saw him since that day you stopped the shooting out in the street.
And Scott hasn't been back to his room?
Well, if he has, Dobie ain't saw him.It don't seem nobody has.
I'm afraid somebody has, Chester.And we better find out.
You sure they drugged that boy way out here, Mr. Downey?Don't make good sense to me.
I'm not sure, Chester, but I don't expect a thing like this to make sense.
I guess you're right.Yonder's a house.
Yeah.Let's leave the horses here.Just keep your eyes open.
Dawson bone open up Come on come on.
It's Marshall Dillon open up What do you want here Marshall I got a few questions to ask you we ain't got no time to answer
Look, you ain't got no... Wait a minute, Rad.Don't want the Marshal to think we've got something to hide.
That's right, Bo.What do you want to know, Marshal?Where's Andy Scott?How should I know?
Yeah, how should we know, Marshal?You run us out of dodge your own self.
Yeah, and the boy hasn't been seen since you left.
Matter of fact.Well, he probably... Skedaddle back home to his daddy.
Look in the other room Chester.Now listen here.Just stand easy, right?
Ain't nobody in there, Mr. Dillon.
Of course there ain't.It's like I told you.
Mr. Dillon, look out the window.They smoke coming out of that shed.What?Come on.
Marshal, you ain't going nowhere.Don't try it, right?
You want to argue anymore, Boone?Not like that, I don't.All right, then drop your gun on the floor and come outside and be mighty careful how you move.
Bust open the door, Chester.Yes, sir.Come on.
Why, it's Scott, Mr. Dillon.
Yeah. Are you all right, Andy?Here, untie his arms and legs, Chester.I'll get this rag out of his mouth.
That's a lot better.Stop that fire, Chester.
Yes, it ain't got a very good start.
Here, Andy, let me help you.We'll get you out of here.Come on.
Did you kick that lantern over?
When I heard somebody ride up, it was the only thing I could think of.
You took an awful chance of burning yourself up.
Well, my chances weren't too good any way I looked at it.
Yeah.In fact, I'm surprised to find you alive at all.
Oh, they weren't going to kill me, Marshal.They were just leaving me here to die by myself.
Mm-hmm.Marshal, it was his own fault.All he had to do was just tell how to write to his daddy.What?Well, sure, Marshal.I kept Rad from shooting him.We was just trying to get us some money.All that boy had to do was talk.We'd have let him go.
Just like I'm gonna let you go.
Hmm?Well, you don't want me, Marshal.You got Rad.He's the one started it.
Sure, Bone.But you didn't stop it. Now come on, let's get going.
Coming up to ten gallons, Mr. Johns.
