The plots of Have Gun, Will Travel follows the adventures of Paladin in the wild west at the turn of the century. As a high-priced troubleshooter for hire, Paladin prefers to settle problems without violence, yet he always excels when circumstances dictate. As a man of conscience, Paladin seeks out the wrongdoers and restores justice in his own right. Each episode opens with Paladin's vow, "If the girl who's being held prisoner has been harmed in any way, I'll flip a coin to see which one of you I gun down first." Paladin narrates his adventures in his deep, lonely voice. As a loner, Paladin never seems to have any real attachments, except his relationship with Hey Boy. |
