Title/Plot/Host: Duel on the Trail
First Line : It was a long hot ride to Laredo. The last day I pushed it hard, eating dust all the way. I didn’t know if I’d be in time or not. When I rode up to the cantina in town and went inside, I saw I was - barely in time. The two of them were sitting at a corner table. From the sound of it, the deal was just about to close.

Title/Plot/Host: The Aaron Holcomb Story
First Line : First Line : The time finally came when I decided there’d be more profit in raising my own cattle than driving other men’s herds up to Tombstone from Mexico and Texas. At about the same time, I heard that Aaron Holcomb’s spread was for sale. So one day, Wichita and I rode down towards the San Pedro valley to look it over.

Title/Plot/Host: Wagon Train
First Line : Carl Justice was dead. Bushwhacked in the Cherikawas for the $10,000 he was carrying. But justice wasn’t dead. The posse from the Cattleman’s Association would see to that if we had to cover every half section between the Petrified Forest and the Mexican border. And it looked like we might. At least the first day in the saddle, we didn’t find a trace of Justice’s killer or the gold.

Title/Plot/Host: The Henry Fell Story
First Line : Folks who write dictionaries must have a pretty tough time with the word “tolerance’. Guess, if you had to boil it down to just one other word, maybe it’d be “understanding”. Some of us here in Tombstone found that out when I gave Chief Margano and a few of his Apache braves the loan of a couple of sections of my spread to try their hand at cattle rasing. And I got chewed out plenty about it every time I went into town.

Title/Plot/Host: Drive to Fort Huachuca
First Line : Captain: Yeah, those are good cattle all right, Slaughter. Better than we’ve been buying for the fort.
Slaughter: Cattle’s my business, Captain. What’ll you give me for them?
Captain: $35 a head
Slaughter: Fair enough.
Captain: Course, that’s delivered at Fort Huachuca
Slaughter: Well now, that’ll be $10 a head more.
Captain: It’s only 40 miles.
Slaughter: Two days of trail herding – that takes time and riders.
Captain: Heh. All right. But if the beef isn’t delivered to the fort by day after tomorrow, it’s no deal.
Slaughter: I’ll have the herd there.
Captain: Very well. See you at the fort, Slaughter. So long Wichita.

Title/Plot/Host: Outlaw Kid
First Line : The bunkhouse had quieted down an hour before, and I should have been in bed myself, but I stood on the veranda watching the head lightening play around Apache peak. It was quite – too quiet! Then I heard a single rider coming into the ranch, hell bent for leather. I sensed trouble – I was right!

Title/Plot/Host: Cattle Drive
First Line : I came from Texas to the Arizona Territory with 2,000 head of scrawny longhorns. But the good grass in the valley of the San Pedro fattened them up like butter. And when I got a contract to deliver 1,000 head to the Indian Agency at San Carlos, I signed with a clear conscious. When you sell beef to the government, they want good beef, and they always seem to want it yesterday.

Title/Plot/Host: June Bride
First Line :
Lots of people back East think us Westerners are rough, uncouth and ill mannered. Although it might not appear so to a stranger, we do live by a fairly rigid set of manners. For instance, we don’t care what a man was but what he is. All of us have come out to this new country from somewhere else and why we came is our own business. Course, sometimes a stranger may drift into town who reminds us of things we’d just as soon forget. Like the time that Wichita and I were sitting outside the Cosmopolitan Hotel waiting for the dinner gong to ring.
