Western adventure (1958 - 1960)
see also Frontier Gentleman,
Six Shooter, and Gunsmoke.
"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."
 It is the only significant radio show that originated on
television. Starring Richard Boone as gunfighter Paladin,
he did the sometimes-dangerous work that others would not
or could not do for themselves. That he did these jobs for
a hefty price did not diminish the fact that he was a man
with a conscience and he wined and dined beautiful women.
The role was later taken on by John Dehner. He was a loner,
a man of no friends - his relationship with the bellhop
Heyboy was cordial but cool: Paladin was always "Meestah
Paladin," and Heyboy was always Heyboy.
