Summary
Gunsmoke presents “Bad Seed,” episode 425 of the classic CBS Radio series, originally broadcast on May 29, 1960. William Conrad stars as U.S. Marshal Matt Dillon, with Eve McVeagh as Trudy Trent. Returning toward Dodge, Dillon encounters a hungry young runaway who claims she is fleeing her father. His decision to investigate leads him to an isolated farm and a difficult responsibility that follows him back to town. Norman Macdonnell wrote, produced, and directed this tense frontier drama. Gunsmoke presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
