Have Gun Will Travel was a popular western radio drama series that ran from 1958 to 1960. It debuted as a television series in 1957 and was one of only a few American television programs that paved the way for a radio version. Although the radio show initially featured stories adapted from television, many of the 106 radio episodes were original stories. The stories follow the adventures of Paladin, played by John Dehner.

No.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
As soon as they got that axle fixed, I'm going
on to Tucson, where you're from.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
San Francisco, Great little town, Frisco.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Yeah, noisy and brotherton. What's going on?
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Well, now wait till I get around.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Then we'll just go have a look.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
See, Engine, we told you gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
You listen to me.
Speaker 7 (03:41):
You get rid of every head of that disease stock
on your place.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Engine, We'll do more than keep you within your boundaries.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
We'll burn you out.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I'll side there.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
I guess you wait nothing, might as well go back
and finish your drink.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
He shot that engine's horse?
Speaker 9 (03:55):
Are you taking kirk?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's away and burning sickness enough without you, savage and more?
Come on, Peter, who are those men?
Speaker 8 (04:04):
The one on the big roans McNally, The other's Peev
his former and the Indian Joe Whitehorse. He's got a
little ranch borders on McNally's spread. I see he's an
educated Indian.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
They're the worst kind.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, I'm sure of that. Why did he kill his horse?
Rough him up like that?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
It ain't my problem.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Mister. Where's the livery stable north end of town? White
Horse past? My name is Paladin, is my card? I
(04:52):
have gun, will travel? I see, thank you, mister Peladin?
Interested if I had.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Money to hire you, I wouldn't be hiking twenty miles
carrying this saddle.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
I would have another horse.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I happen to be going your way. Won't you put
your saddle over this other horse of mine? No obligation,
it is right to tell you.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Even if I had money, I would not hire you.
I don't hold with men who follow the gun.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I agree, mister white Horse. It's not a practical business.
But twenty miles is a long walk, and.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
This is a heavy saddle. I accept your kind offer,
mister Belladin. One hundred and fifty prime healthy cows.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Now ten are dead, the rest ready to fall, keep
losing weight, dying as a veterinary. Look at them.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I can't get him to come out and look. I
am a mission Indian, educated Indian. I have few friends
among my own people and fewer among yours.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yes, and so an example of that back there in Brotherton,
they don't.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Want me in that town. I can't trade in the stores.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
I buy supplies through the man who runs the pharmacy,
the only one who will admit to be a human.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Wait, rein up.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
De pladin, eh, heir ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
My land looks like land a man would fight for
I paid for that land.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
I'm willing to fight. I don't know how My father
wore feathers in his hair. She lived in a tippy.
He was at war with the white man, fighting for
his way of life. When he saw he could never win,
it broke his spirit, but it made him wiser. He
(06:55):
sent me to the mission school, learned to live and
think like a white man. He said, that was the
only way we could have a home in our land.
Three riders. You know who it is, Wad, Yeah, Phoebe
and two of his hands, the one who killed my horse.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, see, you got yourself another horse.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
The one you shot cost me forty dollars. You have
to pay me for that.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
You you friends with him, are just passing through.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You ask that like a man hoping for the wrong answer.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
You're working for an engine.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He hasn't hired me yet.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, half a mile from his boundary line. He aimed
to keep going.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I thought I might.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
It ain't that simple, mister. You can ride in on
that horse, but you try to ride out and he'll
go down with a slug in his head. No animal
comes off on that ranch. Yours are nobody's.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Mister Pellot, and he means what he says. You saw
that in town.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're going to lose two good horses. I walk the
rest of the way, you'll ride. You've used my horse
for fifteen miles, and I expect a man has done
not to rub them down and ask me to sit
at the table.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You will be most welcome.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
A then ride on in. You'll be sorry.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
I was a teenage James.
Speaker 11 (08:30):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
I was a teenage James living in a lovely scratch
on the tile bath room floor.
Speaker 12 (08:36):
I came in on a saddle chew and then I
moved to the floor.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
There were millions of us James playing rock around the
sink or hiding infect My hostess was a wonderful woman.
Every week she'd splash you all around us with nice,
warm soap and water. But then some rats squeal to
her about lifel and we had to beat it.
Speaker 12 (08:53):
Lifewell kills James. It wasn't maida.
Speaker 13 (08:56):
Yes, if you're a germ, you'll hate lysol because lisol
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
(09:20):
pine fragrance as little as twenty nine cents.
Speaker 10 (09:22):
We are looking for a new bedroom to live in.
Speaker 12 (09:25):
How about yours Mark Coffee?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh yes, please, missus Whitehorse.
Speaker 11 (09:43):
So you are a gunfighter, mister Panadin.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well this white Horse. I have a certain talent with weapons.
When people in trouble need such a talent, I hire
it up to them.
Speaker 11 (09:58):
I see, is a gunfighter expensive, mister Paladin.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I have expensive tastes, Joseph.
Speaker 11 (10:13):
I like my home. I want to stay here. I
think all we need right now is time.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Every day more start dying quarantine around me. That means
I must sneak off my own land.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
But with time, Joseph, we can find out what is
sickening our cattle. We can build a healthy herd, Joseph.
If mister Pealadin can scare them.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Into leading, we will not have that kind of thing, Martha.
Speaker 11 (10:38):
But we must do something, mister Paladin. We do not
have any money to pay you, but this is rich land.
We will give you a part of it if you
will fight for your.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Part and for hours.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I'll talk to these men in the meantime. Thanks for
your hospitality, it was our pleasure. I'll walk out with you.
Take care.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Mister Paladin. McNally is a violent man.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
You told Pev he'd have to pay you for that
horse he shot. I don't mind taking over the debt.
I'll trade you the horse I came home on. Ah,
that's a good horse. You cheat yourself. Well, maybe I'll
get Pev to throw in something else as value.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Mister Peladin. Perhaps you won't understand. Men differ?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What do you mean.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
When I walk out of my house onto my own land.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Gives me a good feeling. I love this place. It
has given me pain. But there is something.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
This is mine. This handful of earth here, this is mine.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Certainly, it's just like it. Wait, you're a handful of
earth there, yeah, here, putting this handkerchief here in the
handkerchief good.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
I don't understand. Strange man, mister fellow.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's right, and I just had a strange notion. I'll
see you again, mister white Horse at the boundary of
the white Horse Ranch. I dismounted to close the fence gate.
The first rifle shot came high to my right. The
second shot killed my horse. Both of them had come
(12:44):
from somewhere in the brush behind me. I had an
idea who had fired them, and I had to score
to settle with. Looks like you're a foot don't it
You did that shoot?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
It's his Indian boundary.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's a bad habit. You have TV killing horses. I
want I remember.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I'll use your horse to take me into town.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You lay a finger on that bridled U engine.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Look, you can tell McNally what happened. You'll find me
in town. Is this the only pharmacy in town?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (13:48):
My name is Ryan Hard.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Look canna do for it? You know the white horses?
Speaker 14 (13:51):
Oh you mean our siaving scalping over educated local Indian.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I do.
Speaker 14 (13:55):
And before you say your piece, let me inform you
that this is the only store in town that'll do
business with him.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
And proud to say it.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Now, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Are you set up to make a chemical analysis, mister
Ryan Hart? Chemical analysis? Son?
Speaker 14 (14:07):
I've got the most complete laboratories.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
South of San Francisco. Back there just gathering dust.
Speaker 14 (14:12):
Where's there a place for science in the town where
they bury a chicken head by the light of the
moon to get rid of wards. Let me tell you something,
mister McNally. He tells the citizens how to think.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And speaking of the devil McNally, he's probably looking for me.
All what for here? Take this?
Speaker 7 (14:31):
What intarnation do you want me to do with a
clod of dirt?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Now we're only supposing, mister ryan Hart run a test
on this and I'll talk.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
To you later, okay, But it don't make any sands.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Gentlemen, you pistol let my foreman steal his horse. I
disciplined your foreman, mister McNally as to the horse, peevy
old Joe whitehorse for the one who shot. I took
over the debt and settled him. You work in for
a white horse? Kind of men are way braiden. It
takes wages from an engine. I couldn't get a dollar
out of him. He doesn't have one. That's why i'm here.
(15:12):
If you're not with the engine, what's on your mind?
I want to be hired. We're doing all right. You're
wasting your time trying to starve white Horse out. You
don't have to starve offered to buy his place out
of profit. I offered him ten thousand dollars. Why are
you so anxious to own his land? This land's good
and there's water, and I don't aim to raise my
(15:33):
children next to some savage. Besides, you aim to let
that cattle sickness spread over the whole range, wipe us
all out on account of he hates us. So perhaps
I can persuade him to sell. How his willingness will
increase in ratio to the size of my fee. How
willing do you want him to be? All right, you're hired,
get on out to his place. First, you go to
(15:54):
the bank and draw some money. I think white Horse
would want to be paid off in cash. It's a
lot to trust you with the new carrion and carry
an additional two thousand. Mister mc nally, my fee two thousand.
How much money you think I have? How much do
you heade? Indians? I have some business in the pharmacy here,
and I'll see you at the white Horse ranch. There's
(16:25):
a big change.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Going on, an important one for car buyers. It's the
country wide change to rambler passing car after car in sales.
Rambler now leads all but two other makes in state
after state. What does it all mean that Rambler has
what people want and cannot get in other cars? Rambler
is the quality compact car. For instance, Rambler has plenty
(16:46):
of hat rooms, shoulder room, and leg room for six
big people. Yet Rambler is so trim on the outside.
It handles and parks with the greatest ease for first cost,
gas economy and resale value. Rambler is America's top economy car.
Yet only Rambler offers the fine features of personalized comfort.
There are front seats that glide back and forward separately
(17:06):
to perfectly fit short legs or long adjustable headdresss, airliner
reclining seats, twin travel beds, finest air conditioning at lowest cost.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Throughout.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Rambler engineering is more advanced, Rambler workmanship more careful. Come
in and drive a quality compact car, Rambler. See your
Rambler dealer, he's waiting outside there, mister Whitehorse. You've already
(17:39):
overtaxed his patience.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
You didn't understand me, mister Paladin, I won't sell.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
You can do a lot with that.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I won't be pushed off my land. I stay here,
I tell McNally and you tell him you were mistaken
and lose my feet.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
Why do you ask my husband to do this thing?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Because it's my considered opinion he should sell to mcnowly.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
And if it is not my opinion, if I say
I stand up to that gun of.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yours, I think that would make everything very uncomfortable.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
We ask only to live in peace, to have a
home to build for ourselves and for those who come after.
Speaker 14 (18:11):
And you, you are no better than the others.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Martha should not have done that, no matter what. Forgive him,
mister Palladin, Martha careys our first child.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
She is upset. What kind of a world have we
to offer our child? Sign it, Joseph, sign the paper.
Speaker 11 (18:36):
It is ink a pen, give them their bill of.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Say we will find someplace to live in peace. Yeah,
you have earned your money.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I'll tell McNally you can come in and take this ession.
Speaker 12 (19:04):
Mister Paladin.
Speaker 11 (19:06):
One day you will meet a gun faster than yours.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's probably true. Missus whitehorse, All right, McNelly, all set,
all set, Yeah, I got no respect for critters. Knows
he ain't wanted, but hangs on anyway. No days he'd
belong gone by. Now you've made your point, mister McNelly.
(19:37):
Here is your bill of sale.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
McNelly. It is your ranch now, and you got the
money that does it?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Not quite? Let's not forget two thousand dollars. Oh sure,
see me in town. I see you now, mcnonally. Oh
oh yeah, thank you. White Horse. Learn something from his business.
The Indians have reservation all over the country. That's where
(20:07):
you belong. Mister McNally is a man of deep prejudice
and not soft about him. Neither ooh, anything but soft.
It hadn't been for your sickly stock. He to find
another reason to starve you on.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
He did not starve us out. It was your gun
that drove us off our land.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
My gun did you a favor, missus? Whitehorse. This land
is useless. It's poison. Don't try to fast your cows
here McNally, they'll die. I'll get rid of that disease.
I'll burn everything down to the dirt. But you can't
burn the dirt. That's where the poison is. You're crazy.
I had to soil analyzed. It contains a certain element
that affects all vegetation. It's called molybd in them. If
(20:43):
you want investigated on my land, McNally's land. I remember
that i'd seen this cattle sickness once before, down on
the San Joaquin Range. Oh you knew that, suspected that.
Mister Ryan Hart verified it. If this is true, it's true,
then I cannot this money. Yes you can, you dirty
(21:03):
lion cheat. Good day, mister McNally, Indian lover. Mister Paladin,
I'm sorry I had to do it this way. It's
difficult to conspire with an honest man. Missus Whitehorse. I
(21:26):
want to leave this fee for mister McNally as a
gift for your child who has yet to be born.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That is a great deal of money.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Mister I cannot take it.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh, please accept it for your child, with my apologies
for this imperfect world we have to offer him and
my hopes for a better one in his lifetime.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
Thank you, mister Paladin.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Oh, missa Paladin, welcome.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Hello, Hey boy, did you serve the most unworthy but
very rich mister Potts.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
No, I was delayed, and when I got the two sons,
mister Potts was dead.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
His wife shot him. Oh, then you don't make lots
of money. Your whole trip is wasted. Good bed, not at.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
All, Hey boy, On the contrary, I found it quite rewarding.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Oh ah, you have someone wait for you upstairs in

Speaker 1 (03:54):
He shot that engine's horse?
Speaker 9 (03:55):
Are you taking kirk?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
It's away and burning sickness enough without you, savage and more?
Come on, Peter, who are those men?
Speaker 8 (04:04):
The one on the big roans McNally, The other's Peev
his former and the Indian Joe Whitehorse. He's got a
little ranch borders on McNally's spread. I see he's an
educated Indian.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
They're the worst kind.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Yeah, I'm sure of that. Why did he kill his horse?
Rough him up like that?
Speaker 4 (04:23):
I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:24):
It ain't my problem.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Mister. Where's the livery stable north end of town? White
Horse past? My name is Paladin, is my card? I
(04:52):
have gun, will travel? I see, thank you, mister Peladin?
Interested if I had.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Money to hire you, I wouldn't be hiking twenty miles
carrying this saddle.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
I would have another horse.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
I happen to be going your way. Won't you put
your saddle over this other horse of mine? No obligation,
it is right to tell you.
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Even if I had money, I would not hire you.
I don't hold with men who follow the gun.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I agree, mister white Horse. It's not a practical business.
But twenty miles is a long walk, and.
Speaker 5 (05:30):
This is a heavy saddle. I accept your kind offer,
mister Belladin. One hundred and fifty prime healthy cows.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Now ten are dead, the rest ready to fall, keep
losing weight, dying as a veterinary. Look at them.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
I can't get him to come out and look. I
am a mission Indian, educated Indian. I have few friends
among my own people and fewer among yours.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yes, and so an example of that back there in Brotherton,
they don't.
Speaker 7 (06:10):
Want me in that town. I can't trade in the stores.
Speaker 5 (06:14):
I buy supplies through the man who runs the pharmacy,
the only one who will admit to be a human.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Wait, rein up.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
De pladin, eh, heir ahead.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
My land looks like land a man would fight for
I paid for that land.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
I'm willing to fight. I don't know how My father
wore feathers in his hair. She lived in a tippy.
He was at war with the white man, fighting for
his way of life. When he saw he could never win,
it broke his spirit, but it made him wiser. He
(06:55):
sent me to the mission school, learned to live and
think like a white man. He said, that was the
only way we could have a home in our land.
Three riders. You know who it is, Wad, Yeah, Phoebe
and two of his hands, the one who killed my horse.
Speaker 6 (07:16):
Yeah, see, you got yourself another horse.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
The one you shot cost me forty dollars. You have
to pay me for that.
Speaker 6 (07:26):
You you friends with him, are just passing through.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
You ask that like a man hoping for the wrong answer.
Speaker 6 (07:34):
You're working for an engine.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
He hasn't hired me yet.
Speaker 6 (07:37):
Yeah, half a mile from his boundary line. He aimed
to keep going.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I thought I might.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
It ain't that simple, mister. You can ride in on
that horse, but you try to ride out and he'll
go down with a slug in his head. No animal
comes off on that ranch. Yours are nobody's.
Speaker 7 (07:56):
Mister Pellot, and he means what he says. You saw
that in town.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
You're going to lose two good horses. I walk the
rest of the way, you'll ride. You've used my horse
for fifteen miles, and I expect a man has done
not to rub them down and ask me to sit
at the table.
Speaker 7 (08:15):
You will be most welcome.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
A then ride on in. You'll be sorry.
Speaker 10 (08:28):
I was a teenage James.
Speaker 11 (08:30):
That's right.
Speaker 10 (08:31):
I was a teenage James living in a lovely scratch
on the tile bath room floor.
Speaker 12 (08:36):
I came in on a saddle chew and then I
moved to the floor.
Speaker 10 (08:39):
There were millions of us James playing rock around the
sink or hiding infect My hostess was a wonderful woman.
Every week she'd splash you all around us with nice,
warm soap and water. But then some rats squeal to
her about lifel and we had to beat it.
Speaker 12 (08:53):
Lifewell kills James. It wasn't maida.
Speaker 13 (08:56):
Yes, if you're a germ, you'll hate lysol because lisol
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
(09:20):
pine fragrance as little as twenty nine cents.
Speaker 10 (09:22):
We are looking for a new bedroom to live in.
Speaker 12 (09:25):
How about yours Mark Coffee?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Oh yes, please, missus Whitehorse.
Speaker 11 (09:43):
So you are a gunfighter, mister Panadin.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Well this white Horse. I have a certain talent with weapons.
When people in trouble need such a talent, I hire
it up to them.
Speaker 11 (09:58):
I see, is a gunfighter expensive, mister Paladin.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I have expensive tastes, Joseph.
Speaker 11 (10:13):
I like my home. I want to stay here. I
think all we need right now is time.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
Every day more start dying quarantine around me. That means
I must sneak off my own land.
Speaker 11 (10:26):
But with time, Joseph, we can find out what is
sickening our cattle. We can build a healthy herd, Joseph.
If mister Pealadin can scare them.
Speaker 7 (10:36):
Into leading, we will not have that kind of thing, Martha.
Speaker 11 (10:38):
But we must do something, mister Paladin. We do not
have any money to pay you, but this is rich land.
We will give you a part of it if you
will fight for your.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Part and for hours.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
I'll talk to these men in the meantime. Thanks for
your hospitality, it was our pleasure. I'll walk out with you.
Take care.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Mister Paladin. McNally is a violent man.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
You told Pev he'd have to pay you for that
horse he shot. I don't mind taking over the debt.
I'll trade you the horse I came home on. Ah,
that's a good horse. You cheat yourself. Well, maybe I'll
get Pev to throw in something else as value.
Speaker 7 (11:26):
Mister Peladin. Perhaps you won't understand. Men differ?
Speaker 1 (11:33):
What do you mean.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
When I walk out of my house onto my own land.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
Gives me a good feeling. I love this place. It
has given me pain. But there is something.
Speaker 7 (11:51):
This is mine. This handful of earth here, this is mine.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Certainly, it's just like it. Wait, you're a handful of
earth there, yeah, here, putting this handkerchief here in the
handkerchief good.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
I don't understand. Strange man, mister fellow.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
That's right, and I just had a strange notion. I'll
see you again, mister white Horse at the boundary of
the white Horse Ranch. I dismounted to close the fence gate.
The first rifle shot came high to my right. The
second shot killed my horse. Both of them had come
(12:44):
from somewhere in the brush behind me. I had an
idea who had fired them, and I had to score
to settle with. Looks like you're a foot don't it
You did that shoot?
Speaker 6 (13:00):
It's his Indian boundary.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
That's a bad habit. You have TV killing horses. I
want I remember.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Now.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
I'll use your horse to take me into town.
Speaker 6 (13:10):
You lay a finger on that bridled U engine.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
Look, you can tell McNally what happened. You'll find me
in town. Is this the only pharmacy in town?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Yes?
Speaker 6 (13:48):
My name is Ryan Hard.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
Look canna do for it? You know the white horses?
Speaker 14 (13:51):
Oh you mean our siaving scalping over educated local Indian.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I do.
Speaker 14 (13:55):
And before you say your piece, let me inform you
that this is the only store in town that'll do
business with him.
Speaker 6 (14:00):
And proud to say it.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Now, what's on your mind?
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Are you set up to make a chemical analysis, mister
Ryan Hart? Chemical analysis? Son?
Speaker 14 (14:07):
I've got the most complete laboratories.
Speaker 6 (14:09):
South of San Francisco. Back there just gathering dust.
Speaker 14 (14:12):
Where's there a place for science in the town where
they bury a chicken head by the light of the
moon to get rid of wards. Let me tell you something,
mister McNally. He tells the citizens how to think.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
And speaking of the devil McNally, he's probably looking for me.
All what for here? Take this?
Speaker 7 (14:31):
What intarnation do you want me to do with a
clod of dirt?
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Now we're only supposing, mister ryan Hart run a test
on this and I'll talk.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
To you later, okay, But it don't make any sands.
Speaker 1 (14:50):
Gentlemen, you pistol let my foreman steal his horse. I
disciplined your foreman, mister McNally as to the horse, peevy
old Joe whitehorse for the one who shot. I took
over the debt and settled him. You work in for
a white horse? Kind of men are way braiden. It
takes wages from an engine. I couldn't get a dollar
out of him. He doesn't have one. That's why i'm here.
(15:12):
If you're not with the engine, what's on your mind?
I want to be hired. We're doing all right. You're
wasting your time trying to starve white Horse out. You
don't have to starve offered to buy his place out
of profit. I offered him ten thousand dollars. Why are
you so anxious to own his land? This land's good
and there's water, and I don't aim to raise my
(15:33):
children next to some savage. Besides, you aim to let
that cattle sickness spread over the whole range, wipe us
all out on account of he hates us. So perhaps
I can persuade him to sell. How his willingness will
increase in ratio to the size of my fee. How
willing do you want him to be? All right, you're hired,
get on out to his place. First, you go to
(15:54):
the bank and draw some money. I think white Horse
would want to be paid off in cash. It's a
lot to trust you with the new carrion and carry
an additional two thousand. Mister mc nally, my fee two thousand.
How much money you think I have? How much do
you heade? Indians? I have some business in the pharmacy here,
and I'll see you at the white Horse ranch. There's
(16:25):
a big change.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
Going on, an important one for car buyers. It's the
country wide change to rambler passing car after car in sales.
Rambler now leads all but two other makes in state
after state. What does it all mean that Rambler has
what people want and cannot get in other cars? Rambler
is the quality compact car. For instance, Rambler has plenty
(16:46):
of hat rooms, shoulder room, and leg room for six
big people. Yet Rambler is so trim on the outside.
It handles and parks with the greatest ease for first cost,
gas economy and resale value. Rambler is America's top economy car.
Yet only Rambler offers the fine features of personalized comfort.
There are front seats that glide back and forward separately
(17:06):
to perfectly fit short legs or long adjustable headdresss, airliner
reclining seats, twin travel beds, finest air conditioning at lowest cost.
Speaker 6 (17:15):
Throughout.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Rambler engineering is more advanced, Rambler workmanship more careful. Come
in and drive a quality compact car, Rambler. See your
Rambler dealer, he's waiting outside there, mister Whitehorse. You've already
(17:39):
overtaxed his patience.
Speaker 7 (17:40):
You didn't understand me, mister Paladin, I won't sell.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
You can do a lot with that.
Speaker 5 (17:46):
I won't be pushed off my land. I stay here,
I tell McNally and you tell him you were mistaken
and lose my feet.
Speaker 11 (17:53):
Why do you ask my husband to do this thing?
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Because it's my considered opinion he should sell to mcnowly.
Speaker 9 (17:58):
And if it is not my opinion, if I say
I stand up to that gun of.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yours, I think that would make everything very uncomfortable.
Speaker 11 (18:05):
We ask only to live in peace, to have a
home to build for ourselves and for those who come after.
Speaker 14 (18:11):
And you, you are no better than the others.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
Martha should not have done that, no matter what. Forgive him,
mister Palladin, Martha careys our first child.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
She is upset. What kind of a world have we
to offer our child? Sign it, Joseph, sign the paper.
Speaker 11 (18:36):
It is ink a pen, give them their bill of.
Speaker 7 (18:40):
Say we will find someplace to live in peace. Yeah,
you have earned your money.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I'll tell McNally you can come in and take this ession.
Speaker 12 (19:04):
Mister Paladin.
Speaker 11 (19:06):
One day you will meet a gun faster than yours.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
That's probably true. Missus whitehorse, All right, McNelly, all set,
all set, Yeah, I got no respect for critters. Knows
he ain't wanted, but hangs on anyway. No days he'd
belong gone by. Now you've made your point, mister McNelly.
(19:37):
Here is your bill of sale.
Speaker 7 (19:39):
McNelly. It is your ranch now, and you got the
money that does it?
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Not quite? Let's not forget two thousand dollars. Oh sure,
see me in town. I see you now, mcnonally. Oh
oh yeah, thank you. White Horse. Learn something from his business.
The Indians have reservation all over the country. That's where
(20:07):
you belong. Mister McNally is a man of deep prejudice
and not soft about him. Neither ooh, anything but soft.
It hadn't been for your sickly stock. He to find
another reason to starve you on.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
He did not starve us out. It was your gun
that drove us off our land.
Speaker 1 (20:21):
My gun did you a favor, missus? Whitehorse. This land
is useless. It's poison. Don't try to fast your cows
here McNally, they'll die. I'll get rid of that disease.
I'll burn everything down to the dirt. But you can't
burn the dirt. That's where the poison is. You're crazy.
I had to soil analyzed. It contains a certain element
that affects all vegetation. It's called molybd in them. If
(20:43):
you want investigated on my land, McNally's land. I remember
that i'd seen this cattle sickness once before, down on
the San Joaquin Range. Oh you knew that, suspected that.
Mister Ryan Hart verified it. If this is true, it's true,
then I cannot this money. Yes you can, you dirty
(21:03):
lion cheat. Good day, mister McNally, Indian lover. Mister Paladin,
I'm sorry I had to do it this way. It's
difficult to conspire with an honest man. Missus Whitehorse. I
(21:26):
want to leave this fee for mister McNally as a
gift for your child who has yet to be born.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
That is a great deal of money.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Mister I cannot take it.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
Oh, please accept it for your child, with my apologies
for this imperfect world we have to offer him and
my hopes for a better one in his lifetime.
Speaker 11 (21:49):
Thank you, mister Paladin.
Speaker 3 (22:00):
Oh, missa Paladin, welcome.
Speaker 9 (22:02):
Hello, Hey boy, did you serve the most unworthy but
very rich mister Potts.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
No, I was delayed, and when I got the two sons,
mister Potts was dead.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
His wife shot him. Oh, then you don't make lots
of money. Your whole trip is wasted. Good bed, not at.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
All, Hey boy, On the contrary, I found it quite rewarding.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Oh ah, you have someone wait for you upstairs in
room well. Now he saw Major John B call Papa.
It's surday. Let Mama.
