Summoned to San Francisco's chinatown by the city's police department, Paladin (Richard Boone) agrees to provide protection to Chinese detective Joe Tsin (Benson Fong). But there are two major complications: Tsin has been marked for death by a vicious Tong, whose hatchet men have never failed to dispatch a victim yet. Also, Tsin is deeply concerned that he will "lose face" if he accepts Paladin's help. Lisa Lu, who would join the Have Gun--Will Travel cast as "Hey Girl" during the series' fourth season, is here cast as Li Hwa. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
