Best Old Time Radio Podcast with Bob Bro Thursday, October 8, 2020 - OTR Westerns Gunsmoke - "Prairie Happy" When Matt and Chester return from a week-long trip, all of Dodge is talking about a Pawnee uprising -- and that a Pawnee attack on Dodge City will take place the next day. As the civic leaders urge Matt to organize the defense of their town, Matt is more interested in where the rumor started. That is when he meets a very old man dressed in Buffalo Skins. The man, named Tewksbury, claims to be an expert on Indian tribes, having worked in the past with Kit Carson and John Fremont. What is it about this tragic, yet apparently innocent, character that Matt can't trust? And, is the pending attack truly imminent? Featuring: William Conrad, Parley Baer, Georgia Ellis, Howard McNear, John Dehner, Lawrence Dobkin, James Nusser, Lillian Buyeff Original Broadcast Date: September 12, 1953 on CBS
