Have Gun, Will Travel opens its fourth season with an ethnic slant, a particular specialty of scriptwriter Shimon Wincelberg. Martin Gabel is seen as Russian-Jewish immigrant Nathan Shotness, who after witnessing a murder is pressured to keep quiet by a tough town boss. Nathan's daughter Rivka (Roxanne Berard) asks Paladin (Richard Boone) to provide protection for her father until the murder trial. The situation worsens when Rivka is kidnapped by the killer, a particularly vicious customer named Smollet (played by Robert Blake at his pre-stardom nastiest!). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
