Updated Paladin transports a former convict wanted by the mob to safety by car and train. The Paladin personality and role are unchanged from the original series. Bethel Leslie is the reporter doing a story on the Boone character. Harry Morgan is Hey Boy. Morgan's bar replaces the Carleton Hotel.

Full auto weapons, rifle grenades, fights, stunts, explosions. Could have been a homage to Boone's Have Gun series or a pilot for a new series.

Either way, a must see for Have Gun fans. Hope it will surface some day.

This is a film about a smart, irreverent PI who gets pulled into a conspiracy and sorts it out. Excellent script, dialog, and plot.

This film, in its theatrical release version, may have been suppressed. There's a fair amount of non-PC gay bashing which could have ruffled some feathers.

The film was cleaned up for TV in the mid-70's. It was heavily re-edited, objectionable portions were removed, and possibly there were new scenes shot that were not in the theatrical release -- some of the plot twists are different. The TV version lost much of the punch of the original and is deservedly forgotten.

I've been looking for a print/tape/DVD of the theatrical version for years, but I doubt one will ever surface.
