Following the success of the television version of Have Gun, Will Travel, which began in 1957, a radio version began airing in November 1958 on CBS Radio, lasting for 106 episodes and ending on November 22, 1960. While Richard Boone played the craggy gentleman investigator and gunfighter known as Paladin on the small screen, it was up to John Dehner to portray the character over the airwaves. Paladin's commissions took him over most of the Old West and he was often able to resolve conflicts without violence. Along with Gunsmoke and television's Wagon Train, Have Gun, Will Travel was one of the more mature westerns of the 50s and 60s.
"Strange Vendetta" first appeared as the seventh episode of the television show, written by Ken Kolb; the radio version was adapted by John Dawkin and was produced and directed by /Norman MacDonald. Ben Wright co-starred as Hey Boy. also featured were Lillian Byatt, Harry Bartell, Joseph Kerns, Howard Culver, Ralph Moody, and Vic Perrine. Hugh Douglas was the announcer.
An invitation to the theater turns into a case of assassination, and Paladin takes on an expensive O(and irregular) contract.
Enjoy.
