Gunsmoke, “Custer,” originally broadcast September 22, 1957, is episode 285 of the CBS Radio western. William Conrad stars as Marshal Matt Dillon, with Parley Baer as Chester Proudfoot. Written by John Meston and directed by Norman Macdonnell, this broadcast repeats the story first heard in 1953.

Near Dodge City, Dillon and Chester encounter a man driving horses bearing the brand of the reclusive Old Man Granby. Their trip to the isolated ranch uncovers a troubling scene, leaving Dillon to pursue a difficult case with little evidence and a suspect whose past adds further complications.

Old Time Western Radio 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.
