 My gun was handcrafted to my specifications. I rarely draw it, unless I mean to use it. I've gone. Will travel. Starring Mr. John Daner as Paladin. San Francisco, 1875. The Carlton Hotel.

Yes, maybe so, hey boy. Get me pen and paper. Oh, yes, sir. Right away. Good, good, good. You send cards, say, have gun. We'll travel. Dandruff bothers most men. Most women, too. So listen.

I can still walk to my own door. Well? My name is Paladin. I got your wire. Wire? What wire? Well, your name is Jesse Reed. What about her? You and 20 of your men tried to take the town of Perdido below the border in Mexico. Then only five of you came back, not in very good shape. I see that you're still hobbling on one leg. Well, come on in. Thank you. Now, how do you know so much? I saw them in the San Francisco papers, and I sent you a card. Like this one. A gun will travel. Wire, Paladin, San Francisco. But I sent no wire. Well, I have it right here. Gotch. Yes, sir, Mr. Reed. You send this man a wire? I figured maybe Mr. Paladin could help us, Mr. Reed, at least until he was able to set a horse again. Oh. You're a fast gun, huh? Fast enough. What do you figure you can do for me? Dave Enderby's wanted for murder, and he's holed up in an outlaw town in Mexico, and more important, he took your daughter with him, and when he went after her, he ambushed your men and shot you. I guess you'd like to see him again. But if I couldn't bring him back with 20 men, how do you think you'd do it all alone? There are all kinds of tactics, Mr. Reed. Tactics? You one of them ex-army officers? Among other things? I know your breed. Got to have action and money. Which brings us to my fee. I didn't ask you here. I ain't paying nothing. For Dave Enderby delivered to you, breathing? How much? $1,000. That gun comes high. It's a good gun. Crafted to my own specifications. Oh, let me see it. No, what do you think of that? I ask a man for his gun and he gives it to me. Why, you overdressed tin soldier, you'd have about as much of a chance with Dave Enderby as a ribbon clerk. I'll have my gun back, Mr. Reed, or I'll put a hole between your eyes. This derringer may not look as impressive, but it's just as effective at short range. Thank you. Now, what about Dave Enderby? A derringer in your waistcoat. You're a cool one. All right, then. You bring me Enderby alive and you'll get your thousand. But nothing on account, only my word. I don't ask anything more. Enderby shot his first man when he was 15, in the back. That's where he tried to shoot me and that's where he'll shoot you if he gets the chance. It's the only way he knows to fight. I'll remember. What do I do about your daughter? She went with him of her own free will. Let her stay. I said let her stay. All I want is Enderby. I'll get him. You're a fool, Paladin. You might get in, but you won't get out. The whole Mexican government can't get an outlaw to Perdido. I couldn't and you won't. We'll see. Good day, Mr. Reed. Welcome to Perdido, Senor. Senor, quite a welcoming committee. Do they always ring bells? To tell us a stranger is in the past, it is guarded. I saw them. They didn't look very friendly. Not every stranger is a friend, Senor. My name is Paladin. And mine is O'Brien. O'Brien. I am the Alcalde here. They read it in Mexican with an Irish name. In Perdido, what matters is not a man's nationality but his disposition. If he, shall we say, is simpatico, then he is welcome. For as long as he can pay. It is a poor business, Senor, that does not make a profit. You have friends here, Senor Paladin? I'm looking for Senor Enderby. Can you tell me where to find him? He is usually in the canteen. Thank you. Senor Paladin. Yes? I must tell you about our bed. If it rings when one leaves Perdido, that one is always met in the past. Stay with us, Senor, and be comfortable. When you leave, I hope the bell does not ring for you. Good day, Senor O'Brien. Senor, don't shoot. The knife was not meant for you. Oh. That's a fast draw, mister, but you can host to your gun. We only thrown at that circle on the wall beside you. Like this. Well, amigo, I win again. Your pleasure, Senor. Oh, tequila. Yes, Senor. You've been shown that a man, amigo, you'd be dead now. He doesn't miss when it is a man. Double the bet, then? We'll see, but this time I use your knife. Hand it over, amigo. I permit you to use mine. Hey, Senor, there is one law in Perdido. We do not fight each other. Well, now, I thank you for reminding me. I ain't going to be the one to spoil the fun. Go ahead, amigo, throw. That said, the rules are good. Look out! You said to cut me in the back. Just letting you know, I don't mind giving something away, but nobody takes nothing from me. Nothing. Here's your knife, amigo. Peek. You'll know better next time. Enderby. How do you know my name? I had a good description of you, of how you fight. I've come looking for you. For me? Seems I have to take you back across the border. And so? Julio. That is still against your neck, Senor. So don't try anything where you will not leave. Now, I'll take that gun of yours, mister. You won't be needing it anyway. No, because I can't shoot you. I don't get paid unless I bring you back breathing. Who, too? Jesse Reed. That old vinegar room still alive and kicking? Very much so. He wants you alive. What's your name, mister? Paladin. You want me to take care of him, Senor Enderby? No, let him go, Julio. He ain't got a chance. Well, I feel you. Thank you. You know, I'd like to meet the young lady who caused all this. Nancy? Sure, why not? Nancy, get a real boot out of you. Come on, mister Paladin. Like a season ticket to the ballpark. CBS News admits you to every major event going on.

Served an excellent china and a delightful patio. You must be very happy here. Tell him, honey. I am. I see. My father wasn't honest with you, Mr. Paladin. All he wanted was to set you against Dave. Did he tell you the way everybody back home talked about Dave? All those scrapes he got into, he was forced. You're raking me with them spurs again. If you think you're going to turn me against Dave. He came for me, honey. Your daddy don't even want to see you again. That's true. He doesn't care if he ever sees me again. How do you know? She knows her old man. Got a high-thick as alligator. Dave! You managed to put some lead into that tough hide. He what? Don't you believe that, honey? I told the boys to let your daddy be. I saw him right away without a scratch. And your father saw Dave bush-white him. Now, honey, don't that prove he'll say anything to split us? You've got quite a problem, Nancy. Who's the liar? Your husband or your father? Dave's wild, but he's no murderer. If I don't have the things folks say, I've been dancing at the end of a rope long ago. There's still time. Dave, he's trying to make you fight. Don't let him. He has to fight or come along with me. He's got my gun, but still he won't fight. He is yellow. It's not true. If you had a belly for fighting, you'd have finished off that fellow in the cantina. You'd have finished me, but you couldn't, because we were face-to-face with you. Shut up! You, you're a rotten little coward. You can only bush-whack men, stab or shoot him in the back. Why you, filthy! Now, he... he's only knocked out. He'll wake up soon enough. I wish he'd killed you. But he didn't. Now... What are you doing? Just getting my gun back. No, stop! I'll have to finish it. No, no, please! I haven't a chance of getting out of Purdue alive otherwise. Don't kill him, don't. I'll do anything you say, please. Help me get out of Perdido. Come with me through the pass. All right. No trouble, no tricks. I have your word. Yes, you have my word. All right, let's go. I'll turn back here. You're almost out of the pass. A little farther. I can still see the guards. You're perfectly safe now. I got you out of Perdido. Nancy, why don't you come back with me? You're crazy. You're wrong about your father. He wants you back. You've hurt him, but he loves you. Why don't I come back with me? No. You'd rather stay in Perdido with Enderby? Yes. Then I'll have to take you... Stop it. Let go of the rain. Don't worry. If he really loves you, he'll come after you. He'll... Sounds like he's worked himself free. And you will soon be sorry you ever saw Perdido. You'll have to catch us first. It is to lose Dave, isn't it? We go on. I guess we can. We'll be catching up with you about now. Between the two of us, we've left a clear enough trail. Between the two of us? You think I didn't notice you dropping things along the way? If the trail was any longer, you'd have had a problem in modesty. Come on. We'll make camp here and have breakfast. You wanted him to follow us. Of course. I don't get paid without him. Time was when the sedan chair was considered the height of luxury. When you think of all the places you go and all the things you now do by radio, a sedan chair doesn't seem like much of a luxury at all. Tune to a radio network like the CBS Radio Network. You can, in a matter of moments, travel to foreign capitals to learn what's happening to individuals or whole nations at a time. Because a network like CBS Radio is made up of many stations, stations like the one you're listening to now, the smartest supper clubs from New York to San Francisco invite you to dance to the music of their big name bands night after night. Because CBS Radio's vast network facilities extend in every direction, you can laugh with the funniest comedians in Hollywood or on Broadway, then move on to a serious discussion of space age problems and all in the course of an evening. By all means, use that sedan chair if you have one. But if you want to go places fast, take CBS Radio along. Have some more bacon? No. You simply used me to bring him out of Perdido. No. Let's say I accomplished two purposes with one action, to take you back to your father where you belong and to get Enderby to the gallows where he belongs. It was more of your lies about my father still wanting me, about Dave shooting him. Dave tried to shoot him in the back, the way he'll try to shoot me now that he's here. What do you mean? He's up there in the rocks behind me, isn't he? How did you know? I've been watching your eyes, depending on them to warn me. Now, if you... No, Dave! See how he works? If there's a way of crawling around a man's back, he finds... You're wrong. Besides, I don't care how he does it, just so he kills you. But that last shot might have killed you. You're crazy. He's my husband. He came after me. Not because he loves you, but because nobody takes anything away from him. He doesn't know. He thinks... Dave, I didn't leave you. He forced me. Come and get him. Get down! You wasted your breath. He won't come. He won't face a fair fight even for you. You're wrong. I'll prove it. All right, end of be. You're right. Come. Try it, end of be. You've got a good shot at me now. And so have I at you. You want to finish it? You're welcome to try. No. No, I give up. Listen, Paladin. I'll make a deal with you. It's really her that the old man wants not me. You take her and let me go. Dave! What about it, Paladin? No deal. I'll take you both. Someone just rode into the yard. You better get on the side. Mr. Paladin. And Enderby. Delivered. Breathing. Oh, not for long. Wait. Wait, you can't shoot me. I've got a right to a hero, Mr. Reed. Just a minute, Mr. Reed. One thousand dollars first. The bank will do. Well, I have it all written out. There's your blood money, bounty hunter. Get out. Thank you for sticking to the letter of our agreement. I'll do the same. You did? I paid you. Give me my gun. I didn't agree to become an accessory to murder. You're in cahoots, the two of you. Suckered me for a thousand, going to right off laughing. Not Dave, the law will take care of him. And you figured to pick up the reward, too. No. No. That belongs to Nancy. Nancy? Outside. But there's no use bringing her in. You said you never wanted to see her again. You had the nerve to come back here, did she? I'll give her what for. Nancy! You come here! All right. Look up at me. Come on. Dad, you're laying. Oh, I'm all right. Are you sure? How do you feel? Well, how do you think I feel? But the daughter ain't got no more sense to stand out here in the sun when she's got a house to go into. Now go on. You get your room. You get washed up. You look like you've been in a stampede. Now go on, get Nancy, girl. All right, Dad. I'm so happy to see you back in San Francisco. All okay. Hello, hey, boy. Oh, I bought lots of papers to your room, Mr. Paladin. And now you pretty lady leave letter. Oh, well, it's nice to be home. No one we know of approves of wasting money. In spite of that, however, we Americans are often guilty of wasting our money by the uses we make of our government facilities. Take the operation of the post office, for example. Mostly out of habit, many offices and individuals post outgoing mail at the end of the day. In so doing, they leave post office employees with too little work to do at other times of the day. In addition, we forget to include zone numbers as part of the address. In both ways, we're slowing down the entire system for delivering mail and adding to the cost of our postal operation. The problem is simple enough to solve. Start solving it tomorrow. If you will arrange to post letters and packages earlier in the day and include zone numbers on the return address as well as the outgoing address, you'll help our post office operate more efficiently for you and at less cost too. Remember, for faster, more economical service mail early in the day and include zone numbers. Have gone. Will travel.
