HAVE GUN – WILL TRAVEL: THE SAVAGES (TV)

Summary

One in this series of western dramas about Paladin, a principled and cultured gun-for-hire. In this episode, Paladin is hired by an art dealer named August to locate famed sculptor Elliot Spencer, who has been living in seclusion in the wilderness for 20 years. August, accompanied by his childlike daughter Gina, convinces Paladin that he wishes to see the artist simply to convince him to start working again. Once they find Spencer, however, it is clear that August wishes to gain vengeance on him for an alleged love affair the artist had with his late wife Collette. Although Spencer denies the affair, claiming Colette was his muse and not his lover, August is intent on provoking gun duel with the meek artist. As the gunfight nears, Paladin must decide how to stop the violence. Commercials deleted.
