Originally Aired: March 18, 1956

In Gunsmoke #206, “The Man Who Would Be Marshal,” Emmett Egan, a former Union officer turned cattleman, arrives in Dodge City determined to take Matt Dillon’s job as Marshal—believing law work is just another kind of command. Dillon, weary of the constant danger, gives Egan a week to see the truth for himself. What starts as an exercise in authority quickly turns deadly, as Egan’s lack of experience with violence and gunslingers is exposed in a brutal confrontation. The episode explores the difference between command and survival on the frontier, and the steep price paid by those who wear the badge.

Cast:
William Conrad, Parley Baer, Howard McNear, Georgia Ellis, John Dehner, James Nusser, Harry Bartell
