Show Notes
Gunsmoke presents “Alarm at Pleasant Valley,” episode 178 of the classic radio series, originally broadcast on September 10, 1955. Written by John Dunkel and starring William Conrad as Marshal Matt Dillon, this CBS broadcast also features Parley Baer as Chester.
After an attack leaves the Clayburn homestead in ruins, Matt and Chester ride to Pleasant Valley to investigate. With fear spreading among the frontier families—including Sam Fraser, who is considering leaving the territory—the marshal faces a tense situation shaped by uncertainty and danger.
Gunsmoke presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
