Boxcars711 Overnight Western "Have Gun Will Travel" - Way For The Delta Queen (07-24-60)

Boxcars711 Overnight Western "Have Gun Will Travel"
Way For The Delta Queen (Aired July 24, 1960)


The show followed the adventures of Paladin, a gentleman-turned-gunfighter (played by Richard Boone on television, and by John Dehner on radio), who preferred to settle problems without violence, yet, when forced to fight, excelled. Paladin lived in the Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, where he dressed in semi-formal wear, ate gourmet food, and attended opera. In fact, many who initially met him mistook him for a dandy from the East. When working, he dressed in black, used calling cards and wore a holster which carried characteristic chess knight emblems, and carried a derringer under his belt.
