Mr. Dillon, do you reckon those men will cause trouble?

Chester, are you a complete ignoramus? Those men are wild!

Now Doc, is there need to get Chester all excited?

Matt, is Doc right? Are those men really dangerous?

I don't know Kitty. What's more dangerous than those babes you employ?

(Matt laughs)

Touché!

(Kitty laughs)

I mean it, Matt. If you don't find those men Chester here just might wake tomorrow minus his good leg!

(worried)

Mr. Dillon!?!

Doc, you old fool. Quit trying to scare everybody.

Matt, surely you understand.

Understand what?

About the seriousness of this cannibal release.

Cannibals! Cannibals! What in tarnation is a cannibal, anyway?

DOC'S MOUTH DROPS OPEN.

Matt, maybe Doc has gone around the bend.

(Kitty laughs)

Cannibals eat raw meat! That's who they are.

Yeah, Chester. You know. Like those pink steaks Kitty supposedly grilled for us the other day.

CHESTER, KITTY AND MATT LAUGH.

(Doc gets up to leave)

You all are crazy. I'm going home and lock my doors. It's your job Matt to catch those cannibals and get them back in their cages. I'm afraid!

Matt! What is he talking about? Afraid?

It's hogwash, Kitty! There's no need to be afraid. You think I'm afraid?

CHESTER NOTICES NAKED BLACK MEN LOOKING IN THE JAIL WINDOW.

Mr. Dillon, are any of our town's folk black?

What in tarnation are you talking about, Chester?

Mr. Dillon, are any of our town's folk black and nekkid?

JUST THEN, SEVERAL OF THE CANNIBALS CRASH THROUGH THE JAIL DOOR AND SURROUND CHESTER, KITTY AND MATT.

(Matt is scared)

Wh- wh- who are you black, nekkid people?

I think Doc was right, Matt.

Mr. Dillon, how are we going to get out of this jam?

(sarcastically)

Fast draw?

I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

THE CANNIBALS NOTICE A CHECKER BOARD ON THE MARSHAL'S DESK AND SLOWLY MOVE TOWARD IT. THEY BEGIN TO MUMBLE SOME WORDS THEN BEGIN TO BOW DOWN TO IT.

What the ... It looks like they's worshiping your checker board game, Mr. Dillon.

I think you're on to something, Chester. Let's try to ease on out while they're distracted.

MATT, KITTY, AND CHESTER SLOWLY SHUFFLE TOWARD THE JAIL HOUSE DOOR. JUST AS CHESTER IS GETTING THROUGH THE DOOR TO FREEDOM THE CANNIBALS SEE THEM AND CATCH CHESTER. MATT AND KITTY ESCAPE. MATT AND KITTY HEAR CHESTER SCREAMING AS THEY HAUL DOWN THE MAIN STREET SHRIEKING IN FEAR.

(Kitty out of breath)

Aren't you going back to help him, Matt?

(Matt also out of breath)

Chester was fairly useless. We all knew that.

MONTHS PASS. DODGE IS STILL TALKING ABOUT THE TIME THE CANNIBALS GOT LOOSE IN TOWN.

Sure was a shame about Chester's other leg. Can't say as I didn't warn you though.

Yeah, sure was a shame.

CHESTER HOBBLES AND WOBBLES UP TO JOIN THE CONVERSATION.

Oh, I don't know. Although I've got the most bizarre limp ever seen around these parts, so I'm told, I still wonder where that over-grown chicken Marshal Dillon ever got to.

Well, Chester, I'm afraid we'll never know. Let's just be glad that we got us a new marshal finally. And, from what I can tell, he's not a coward like Matt Dillon was.

JUST THEN THE NEW MARSHAL PRANCES UP.

Good show! I say, do any of you chaps have the time? I might need to start my afternoon tea.
