Gunsmoke - "The Constable Reused Script" (Old Time Radio, 1960)

Gunsmoke presents “The Constable Reused Script,” episode 415, originally broadcast March 20, 1960. This CBS radio drama stars William Conrad as Marshal Matt Dillon, with Bartlett Robinson featured as a guest performer. When a cattle drive arrives in Dodge City, the trail boss and his cowboys bring both spending money and mounting trouble. Matt Dillon’s efforts to keep order concern local merchants, who worry that tough enforcement could send valuable business elsewhere—placing a newly hired constable at the center of a tense debate over authority and public safety. Written by John Meston, this broadcast reuses the script from the May 8, 1954 radio episode. Gunsmoke presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
