Richard Boone stars as the first "man in black," Paladin, in this seminal 1950s Western TV series.

Thirty-nine episodes of this cult favorite are included in the first season, which featured guest appearances by Jack Lord, Charles Bronson, Angie Dickinson and June Lockhart.

Summary of Season 3 (1959) - 7 discs

A freelance gunfighter who tries to avoid violence, expert marksman Paladin (Richard Boone) is a something of a Wild West anomaly. Based in San Francisco, the worldly hired gun with a taste for the finer things travels as his work demands, frequently drawing on his education before drawing his weapon. Season 3 of the hit TV show features plenty of action, a few lines of verse (Boone was a Shakespearean-trained actor) and a catchy theme song.

When not meting out Wild West-style justice, Paladin (Richard Boone) lives it up at a posh San Francisco hotel. But if trouble arises, the hired gun dons his knight-embossed holster and trademark calling cards ("Have gun, will travel") and rides in to save the day. This collection includes episodes from the first half of the show's fourth season, and features guest appearances by Martin Balsam, Robert Blake and Ken Curtis of "Gunsmoke."

The fifth season of this TV Western kicks off with gentleman gunfighter Paladin (Richard Boone) making his way to a Nevada mining camp that's suffered a mining disaster. But on the way to the site, he meets a pair of prospectors with a suspicious-sounding sob story.
