Old Time Radio Western — Gunsmoke: "Target" (1958) | Full Episode

Gunsmoke is the gold standard of radio Westerns — a half-hour of hard, morally complex drama set in Dodge City, Kansas, where Marshal Matt Dillon keeps an uneasy peace at the edge of civilization. In "Target," a broken-down wagon brings a band of gypsies to the wrong landowner's property, and when his son falls for a young gypsy woman, a bad situation turns dangerous fast. Danny steals a horse and a gun and rides after the only person he cares about — ignoring his father's fury and Dillon's hard counsel alike. The title says everything: some people just can't stop riding toward the thing that will destroy them. 🎧 Hundreds more classic radio shows free at https://www.vintageradioshows.com 📱 Listen anywhere with the Vintage Radio app for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-radio/id455577974
