I haven't named it yet. Whatever it is. We ain't got it here, mr All right. Hey, I'll get it myself. I Heard you was kind of frisky and quick. I am She must have been quite a lady what lady I say lady. Yeah The slip of the tongue As a matter of fact, I'm not sure she was a lady judging by the things I've heard of her Paladin Yeah, move on Maisie. Shut up. I can talk to him if I wanna You've been asking about Gloria Morgan ain't you? Well, I knew her I worked with her wound with her once How about some of that my pleasure Where can I find Gloria Morgan? I don't know where a little glory is Well, I can tell you Where I wish he was and left me when he saw her. That's what For all around good luck. She couldn't hold a candle to me Maisie Mr. Summers get out of here Maisie gone Yes, sir. Stay where you are Maisie My name is Clay Summers paladin. Don't reach for the gun now. Let's go Would appear I have no choice mr. That's right. You don't come on your horse Yes Okay, just take your gun And paladin You show your face in load star again. I'll kill you with your own gun. There'd be no fair fight I'll ambush you right mount up. I was a teenage James That's right. I was a teenage James living in a lovely scratch on the tile beard room floor I came in on a saddle shoe and then I moved to the floor There were millions of us James playing rock around the sink or hide an infect My hostess was a wonderful woman every week She'd splash all around us with nice warm soap and water But then some rats squeal to her about Lysol and we had a beat it Lysol kills James. It was made Yes, if you're a germ you'll hate Lysol because Lysol kills disease germs many deadly viruses too Lysol also destroys bathroom odors cleaning every week with Lysol in the suds Disinfects your bathroom from one cleaning to the next as nothing else can a little Lysol brand Disinfectant in the suds makes your favorite cleaners work better including many that claim to sanitize Lysol is now available in regular or pine fragrance as little as 29 cents. We're looking for a new bathroom to live in How about yours road as ordered? But by nightfall I was back in load star ready to meet the man who had threatened to shoot me on the site He seemed genuinely surprised to see me again when I appeared at his office. Hold it. I Told I know what you told me mr. Summers now. I'm telling you this is a derringer Sit down, please. What do you want my gun for one thing? It's a fine weapon. I just couldn't leave it behind Where is it laying over there? Keep your hands off that picture and ladies lovely the Gloria Morgan Put that picture down I don't want the picture mr. Summers, but I want to talk about her You Must have been very fond of her. I Don't understand how a woman like her rates your loyalty why men will kill for her She was a filth There's a cheat a liar and a thief and worse. I Know that for a fact you know nothing paladin And what is the truth? She was all things to all men She was saint to devil or whatever Understand there was a gun battle fought for her favors not for her favors For her hand in marriage Oh I suppose the other fella had as much right to court her as I did you but I It was a good fight and a fair one But it was all over We were both near death and Gloria Morgan She told us that She loved neither one of us And she went away all I have left of her is that picture I Don't know where she is now. I can't tell you that you don't have to tell me mr. Summers. I Know where to find Gloria Morgan I can't very well do that So as everyone else and I'm still alive I want to see Colonel Lathrop Find out about that woman. Yes You are going to tell them I was hired to But I don't think that Gloria Morgan is going to hurt your mistress. Follow me I'll take me to the Colonel Lathrop How's your patient mrs. Lathrop Pablo as well. Thank you. That'll be all to all of me. Yes, miss Lathrop Well, we're successful mr. Paladin. Did you find Gloria Morgan? Yes Well, where is she? Perhaps it's more important to know who she was rather than where she is Colonel. I know who she was. I doubt it. I Talked to many people and few agreed as to exactly what she was Some alleged that she was a trumpet Some held to the contrary Others thought that Gloria Morgan was a victim of a rather ugly set of circumstances over which she managed to triumph What circumstances? She was abandoned in a mining camp by a man who brought her there under the pretense of marriage and no money No friends no one to turn to She did the best she could she sang and danced in the saloons She shared in the money that men spent for the pleasure of drinking in her company Is this distressing you maddie? No Go ahead mr. Paladin Well apparently Gloria Morgan managed to do these things without compromising her essential integrity Two men wanted to marry her and she rejected them both but as far as I could learn the both men are still in love with her Go on mr. Paladin Many others still ever for a generosity Now I'm trying to crystallize my impression of Gloria Morgan as I learned to know her Colonel And that impression is that she was a remarkable woman whose friendship I would have considered a high honor colonel Please go on mr. Paladin Gloria Morgan's married today happily unhappily I'm sure it was a good marriage to a proud man until he received information Exposing his wife's past in the worst kind of light So out of hurt arrogant pride he planned to punish her by having a third party confront her with poof of her identity In his presence that will be quite enough. So the scheme was unworthy of the man colonel Now I have an idea that he was still in love with his wife But he was sick in his mind and the pity of it all is That if this man had approached his wife in a reasonable manner, I'm certain she would have told him all he wanted to know Yes, I'm sure she would have done that But my husband paid you to make a report mr. Paladin, why don't you make it? The whereabouts of Gloria Morgan you want to know where she is colonel? No, mr. Paladin is just as well The Gloria Morgan of boomtown days is dead Do you believe that colonel? Yes Yes, I believe it Excuse me Let him alone for a few moments then go to a mrs. Lathrop. Thank you very much, mr. Paladin Terribly sorry it's quite alright is entirely my fault. Oh and the contrary I wasn't looking where I was going We could debate the matter if you'd care to join me for a cup of coffee And my name is Paladin. I Shant forget your gallantry or your intriguing invitation, mr. Paladin, but I must hurry along good day Good day. We will meet again Oh, we saw Paladin when you come back to San Francisco last night. Hey boy. Hey boy. You're just the one I want to see Oh, then why don't you look at me that lady just going up the stairs. When did you come to San Francisco? Oh? Three or maybe four days ago. She's in what suite? Mother in suite about a lot of want theater tickets for tonight's performance Mr. Paladin after you get those see the chef now a small supper something very special with wine for two people Served in my suite. Oh, you are you better make it three mr. Paladin. Why him who? big man over there husband husband He saw bad turn of events a miss upon Well, I hope he appreciates her Never mind the tickets. Hey boy, but have the chef lay on a supper for two anyway What do you do? Oh, who you have dinner with? I don't know Don't you ever get hungry? Why not? Me we don't have much time to talk like we used to it's true But I'm me a supper and you can tell me about that remarkable man your uncle Shall we say a eight o'clock Eight o'clock will be fine Since spring is a season of awakening things of summer's fulfillment It's fitting that every year the American Cancer Society should raise its vitally needed funds in April for each year The April harvest of donations gives promise of new impetus in the drive to conquer cancer Your local collection under the banner of the American Cancer Society is a drive to finance unlimited research and experiment Progress already made has given hard-working doctors and scientists more hope than ever before No panaceas have been found but a growing number of cancers can be and are being cured Thousands lived today who would have seen no hint of hope a decade ago Help spread the effectiveness of the anti-cancer crusade in two ways with a checkup and a check Have the family's health checked once a year for early detection of cancer is still the safest road to a cure and This month give a generous donation to your local cancer society or to cancer in care of your post office Do it today Have gun will travel Created by Herb Meadow and Sam Roth is produced and directed by Norman McDonnell and stars John Dana as Paladin With Ben Wright as Hayboy Tonight's story was written by Michael Fessier and adapted for radio by John Dawson Featured in the cast were Jack Moyles, Lauren Stopkin, Virginia Gregg, Eve McVeigh, Lilian Bayef and Frank Gerstle Hugh Douglas speaking Join us again next week for have gun will travel
