## Resource

Gunsmoke presents “Woman Called Mary,” episode 251 of the classic CBS radio series, originally broadcast January 27, 1957. Written by Les Crutchfield and produced by Norman Macdonnell, it stars William Conrad as Marshal Matt Dillon, with Parley Baer as Chester. When Buffalo Mary’s hard-earned savings are stolen, Dillon and Chester investigate a robbery whose consequences reach beyond the immediate crime. Set in Dodge City, this compact drama considers hardship, accountability, and the difference between punishment and restitution. 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.
