EARLY
5AM "MOTHER'S GOOSE" - Movie, 4 hr.
1975. Morey Amsterdam, Butch Patrick, Carl Balentine and Slim Whitman. Former porno star is abducted by Martians and forced to train their culture on the fine art of being on film for 2 hours without even getting close to good acting.

AFTERNOON
1PM GUNSMOKE - Drama, 1 hr.
The Dodge City Wagoneer used wagon store is skirting the honesty in advertizing ordinance and attracts the local law.

GUNSMOKE

"Wagon Ho!"

 

FADE IN: JAILHOUSE, DAY

CHESTER

That's right, Mr. Dillon. That Wagoneer place says their wagons are better than the ones from Eddie's Wagons, but offer no proof. Got a big sign and everything.

MATT

A sign?

CHESTER

That's right.

MATT

Well, you know Chester, free enterprise can take all kinds of forms.

CHESTER

I guess, Mr. Dillon, but on the back of this sign - the one I told you about - he has some words that say something like, "depending on the number of horses/mules that are pulling one of my wagons, the law might not even be able to catch up with you, much less hand you a citation for speeding!"

MATT
(Matt absorbed in reading something else)

No kidding?

(beat)

And, what did the back of the sign say?

CHESTER
(giving the "huh?" look)

Repeat all of what I just said?

MATT

Never mind. I have to attend to something else over by the Wagoneer lot so I will look for myself.

CUT TO: DOGDGE CITY MAIN ST., DAY

MATT WALKS UP TO THE WAGONEER LOT AND ENCOUNTERS THE SALESMAN, FRANK.

FRANK

Hello, sir. My name is Frank. I see you are a member of our fine law enforcement community.

MATT

I am the Marshal.

FRANK

Well, Mr. Marshal, this is your lucky day! I have such a deal for you, you won't believe!

MATT

Hey, whoa! I am not in the market for a wagon, myself.

FRANK

Did I tell you that it so happens that today, and today only, I could put you into a two-seater, low-bed model for only $14 a week?

MATT

A low-bed model?

FRANK

Step over here to this baby.

MATT IS PULLED TO WHERE THE LOW-BED WAGON IS SITTING.

FRANK

Now, this wagon is not new, although it looks new. Doesn't she look new, Mr. Marshal?

MATT

Well, I -

FRANK

The low-bed will let you load supplies without the wear and tear on your back.

MATT

But, I -

FRANK
(moves to front of wagon)

The padded front seat here is so comfortable you might want to just doze off while you drive them horses down the road!

MATT

Well, I don't see -

(suddenly feels an emergency bodily urge)

Do you have an outhouse handy?

FRANK

No sir, we don't. But I do have a fine blank contract that's just waiting for your signature. Just step into my office and we will -

MATT

I got to go NOW!

(brushes salesman aside)

FRANK

Mr. Marshal, if this is a ploy to get off this lot and get rid of me, you can forget it. I have heard it all. Why, once a lady and her daughter were considering buying a -

(beat)

Marshal?

(looksaround)

MARSHAL DILLON IS RELIEVING HIMSELF BESIDE THE SALES OFFICE.

MATT

Over here!
