Have Gun – Will Travel

Paladin is a cultured gun-for-hire who operates from San Francisco’s Hotel Carlton, taking on dangerous assignments for clients who can afford his services. A skilled gunfighter with a taste for fine clothes, books, and chess, he is also guided by a personal code that makes each job more than a simple test of marksmanship.
The radio series follows Paladin as he travels across the American West, where disputes over land, money, justice, and survival draw him into unfamiliar communities. Episodes unfold as dramatic adventures, with dialogue and sound effects bringing frontier towns, tense confrontations, and the consequences of difficult choices to life.
Richard Boone’s performance gives Paladin a measured, intelligent presence, balancing the threat of violence with wit and restraint. The result is a Western that pairs action and suspense with moral questions, making its hero’s judgment as important as his gun.
