Two-fisted Irish salesman Ike Brennan (Robert Gist) comes to Paladin (Richard Boone) to help save the life of Brennan's wife, currently held hostage by Indians. Paladin agrees to help Brennan deliver a wagonload of trade goods--food, blankets, etc.--to use as ransom. What the gunslinger doesn't know is that the shipment also includes a Gaitlin gun (an early form of machine gun), which the Indians plan to use in a fullscale war against the Cavalry. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
