Dodge City , Kansas during the 1880's. A realistic and tensely dramatic series that focuses on the lives and experiences of five people: Matt Dillon, a dauntless and fearless United States Marshal; Kitty Russell, proprietress of the Longbranch Saloon, a woman with a heart of gold and eyes for Matt; Chester Goode, Matt’s deputy, a man who walks with a limp and 'brews a mean pot of coffee' (half-hour episodes); Galen Adams, the kindly and dedicated physician; and Festus Haggen, the comic relief, Matt’s unkempt, hillbilly deputy (hour episodes).
