Have Gun - Will Travel

Have Gun - Will Travel is a TV Western which ran on CBS from 1957 to 1963. It centered on "the man called Paladin," a cultured, educated gunfighter who left his luxurious hotel residence to take jobs for hire. The title referred to his business card, which depicted a chess knight (or paladin) and the slogan, expressing the gunfighter's willingness to go anywhere for the job.
The series' success spawned a radio version (a rare instance of a TV show going to radio, instead of the reverse) which ran concurrently from 1958 to 1960. The show's unique title has often been referenced or spoofed in popular culture.
