This episode is going to be have Gun Will Travel Original air date is August 14, 1960 this is part two of two, and the title is Extended Viva. Let's get into it. And I hope you enjoy. The revolution is over, but it's still a long way from here to the mission. If we're going to get the organ back in time, we'd better get started. Have Gun will travel starring Mr. John Dana as Paladin. San Francisco, 1875. The Carlton Hotel, headquarters of a man called Paladin. Wait. Hey boy. Ms. Wong very busy today. Big party and hotel last night make so much work. But missy wong, look. A letter from Mr. Paladin. Oh, Mr. Paladin. Work can wait. You read letter, hey boy? Oh, no. Up here it say sensavia mission. And then it say, dear missy Wong. And hey boy, you and me. After I finished my business in laredo, I came here to san xavier mission to see my friend. Father o' toole had hoped to be able to lie in the hummock and lovely garden here and get good rest, But I am afraid won't be time for that. As I have offered to do errand for the good father. However, I plan to be back in san francisco in time for the opera ball. But hey boy, opera ball? Last night. Oh, that's right. That's right. Oh, look here, Ms. Wong, he state Mr. Para didn't write this letter long time ago. Take long time to get here. What happened? You suppose he don't get home? Oh, poor Mr. Paladin. Poor Mr. Paladin don't mind missing opera boy. He go to lots of parties. Oh, missy Wong mean poor Mr. Paladin. We never have time to rest in hammock. That's a warning signal for all drivers. And that can be a warning signal for drowsy drivers on long, monotonous trips. You see, driving can make you drowsy no matter how much sleep you get. And driving and dozing just don't mix. Why take chances? Take no dose. Stay awake. Tablets millions of times a year, safe. No doze keeps drivers awake and alert. Helps you bounce back so that you feel sharp, ready for any emergency. How does no dose do it. Ask your doctor. He'll tell you that no dose contains a safe and accurate amount of caffeine, the same refreshing stimulant you get in your coffee or tea. But safe, no dose acts faster, is handier and more reliable. Best of all, it is not habit forming. And no dose is so safe it is legally sold on a national basis without a prescription. Get no dose. Stay awake. Tablets to help you stay awake and alert. It could save your life. I had made the offer to Father o' Toole to see that an organ, a gift to his church, was delivered from the Gulf of Mexico to his San Xavier mission. I was accompanied by Tono, a fine young Indian who had been reared of the mission. The wagon road we had to follow led us through the war zone of a revolution that was in progress. But Father o' Toole was well known and well loved, and I was sure that an explanation of our trip would grant us safe conduct. I didn't know, of course, that confusion at the customs house loading docks would result in the switching of crates. So that instead of the organ, we were hauling rifles intended for the government militia. Things were looking pretty grim for a while after we were halted by the People's army and sentenced to be shot for aiding the enemy. But with some quick thinking, fast talking and decisive action, it seemed that now we had the situation well in hand. It looks like we have just won a revolution. Yes, I guess it's all over with the shouting. But we better get Poncho and move out of here fast before somebody decides it's time for another uprise. Here comes General Perez. Senor. Well, General, senor, your. You are the herald of the day. Oh, no, it was nothing, General. Just a simple matter of cutting down the odds. The militia was well armed and your boys weren't. That makes it a little difficult to win a war, see? But what is this miracle you performed for my poor little army? That rifles of the militia fire backward. Oh, well, Tono and I rammed the barrels of their rifles with adobe mud. Ahia. I beg your pardon. As such, superb military strategy. We were lucky that the soldiers of the militia sleep so soundly during their siesta. It is a moment of glory for the rebel tossos, the army of the people. You, senor, and your companero will please to join in celebration of victory. Oh, well, thank you, General, but we don't have time. When you and your men stopped our wagon and I told you I was hauling an organ to San Xavier Mission, I was telling you the truth. But the organ Was delivered here to the militia. It is here now? Yes, we found it all right. It's in that little stone jail over there. What is organ are doing in jail? Well, the cell is jointly occupied by the organ and the man who delivered him. I believe he was scheduled to meet the firing squad. The militia didn't take kindly to uncrating an organ when it expected rifles. Porsupuesto. Of course. I shall say that the organo is released to you, senor. Say, general, I'd like to have the prisoner, too, if you don't mind. You want this prison? I'm afraid so. His name is Pancho. I had a little run in with him at the Matamoros. I don't think I trust him any further than I can show that organ. But he can play it, and we may need him. This becomes confusing, senor. You see, general, Father o' toole is counting on having this organ for mass when the bishop visits San Xavier. But no one in the parish knows how to play it. Just before the battle, we were hiding back at the jail. There. We heard poncho play very well, too. So I figure, if it's all right with you, we'll just deliver him along with the organ. Just as you like, senor. We are in your death. Senor Paladin. These are fine horses the general took from the militia and gave to you. Yes, Poncho. With the time we've lost, we'd never make it without ox team. We started with we are lucky. Horses are hard to come by in this part of the country. Beautiful animals, beautiful people, beautiful world. Pancho is glad to be alive and not dead from the firing squad. This is a lucky day. But why were you delivering arms to the militia, Pancho? Were you on their side? Pancho is only on the side of Pancho. I deliver arms to the militia because the militia can pay. Make business, importante. That's all. Well, just don't you forget our business, importante. Oh, no, senor. For my life. I play organo for the mass at the mission of San javier. We will be reaching the town of Roma pretty soon. I know. I think we better stop there for the night. I don't like to take the time, but the horses need the rest. Roma. I. I know this town. I think maybe because this is a lucky day for Pancho, I'll sit for a short time at a game of chance. You don't press your luck too far, Pancho. Clerk. Hey, clerk. Clerk. Mr. Paladin. Mr. Paladin. I'll be with you In a moment, Tono. As soon as I settle up for the hotel. No, no, Come quick. What is it? Organ crate is sitting out there in front of the hotel. It can't be. It's on the wagon down. Delivery. No, it's out there on the boardwalk. And a man is driving off with our horses and wagon. He. Oh, no. Yes. You see there. There he is down the street. Hey. Hey, Stop, you. Hey, you. Stop there. Hello. What's your trouble, friend? Mister, horse stealings are pretty serious matter. Well, now, don't that beat all. Climb down off that wagon. Say, what's eating you? This happens to be my team and wagon you're driving. Oh, no, it ain't. It's mine. How do you figure it's mine? On account of four of a kind beat a straight. What are you talking about? I win this outfit fair and square in a poker game last night. I'm afraid that's a lie. This is my outfit. It. Now, looky here, mister. You climbed down off that wagon. I'm just going to do that, and you're going to be sorry. Steve Perkins don't take likely to being called a liar and a horse thief. Now, Mr. Pollard, that's for the liar. You. Yeah. Looks like I got to whomp you again. Oh, no, I don't think so. That was some punch. Yeah. Looks like he's out for a while. Mr. Paladin. That's the man who was playing cards with Pancho last night. Pancho? Of course. I should have thought of that. Where is Pancho? I couldn't find him this morning. He didn't sleep in his room last night. I guess he figured his luck ran out. And he'd better run out, too. I'm afraid I owe this man an apology. Well, Tony, we haven't time to argue the fine points of the this thing. Why, what are we going to do? Get some rope out of the wagon there. Rope? Yes. We're going to tie this fellow up, shove a gag in his mouth, and then load him and the organ in the wagon and get on our way. Why do we take him? Well, it's his outfit. He win it fair and square, as he said. But I'm afraid we're going to have to borrow it whether he likes it or not. Well, at least Poncho didn't gamble the organ. Probably saving it for the next hand. But now we're back where we were. Nobody to play for mass. Yeah, now we'll worry about that later. There he is again. I guess I better untie him and I hope he decides to be reasonable about this. I wouldn't count on it. No. Afraid he has a point. Oh, no. Oh, say, Perkins. Look. Look, Perkins, I'm sorry we had to shanghai you like this, but we needed the wagon. There wasn't time to argue. You see, now, whether Pancho had a right to bet it or not, I. Well, I guess it's yours. We'll pay you for this trouble, trip, but we have to get to San Xavier mission. Climb on back there, Tono, and take the gag off. Sure. Yes, sir. Just let me untie you. Here. You don't say it or you'll stay tied up. All right, you win. Let me tell you, the only reason Steve Perkins is standing still for this kind of shoving around is because I was headed toward the mission anyway. You were? Yeah. They got one of them fiesta things going on in town there. Usually some pretty good betting money floating around at them celebrations. Are you a professional gambler? Oh, I wouldn't say that exactly, But I managed to pick up a little change here and there. When I win these horses, I figure to take them to the fiesta and race them. Our horses? My horses. And don't forget it, mister. You don't know horse flesh. They ain't hauling horses. They're running horses. It doesn't matter. If they'll just get this organ to send Xavier, I'll be satisfied. Untie him, Tono. Almost there, Tono. Yes, it's been quite a trip. What's so special about this here organ? It was a gift to the mission. Father o' Toole is very anxious to have it. When the bishop visits San Xavier, he'll have it, it seems. But there is no one to play it. Hey, Tono. Yes, you Injun, ain't you? Yes. Well, how come you don't dress like an engineer or talk like an engine? I was raised at the mission and went to American schools. Oh, I see. Well, now, looky over there. Figured that's some of your kin folk. Band of indians on horseback. They are Navajo. That is my tribe. Well, Paddy Lot, Gap. Look. They got a rope around that feller's neck. They're leaving him behind. Their horses. Benny. That looks like puncho. Mr. Paladin. It is Poncho. Well, see it? That's the fellow I played poker with. What kind of business importanta do you suppose he tried this time, Tono? I don't know. But he can play the organ. Oh, yes. Yes, he can. Well, I suppose we better go see what we can do for him. And now here are Edgar bergen and charlie mccarthy. Bergy, I think someone's looking for you. Oh, Mr. Bergen. Well, hello, Epic linker. What's wrong? My car battery is run down. I think it's an acid condition. Oh, I see. Well, have you seen a serviceman? Well, I had a blind date with a sailor last night, but he got away. No, I mean a mechanic. Seeing you own a General Motors car, you should see your GM dealer for service. His mechanics are GM trained. They have specialized tools and factory approved parts to provide your fine GM car with the GM care it deserves. So if you own a Chevrolet car or truck, a Pontiac, an Oldsmobile, Buick, Cadillac or a GMC truck, you should make a date with a General Motors serviceman. Oh, that sounds exciting. Will he have blue eyes? What's the story, Tono? What'd the Indians say? Well, as near as I can tell, Pancho wandered into the Indian camp this morning and offered to trade some cattle for a horse. Cattle? Yes, but it turned out the cattle he traded already belonged to the Indians. It was some stock they had turned out to graze. Say, he's some slick fella, ain't he? Never quite slick enough. What now, Tono? What are they going to do with them? This is small band of Navajo. They have set up a camp just beyond the missions. They want no trouble. Yeah. They are willing to release Poncho, but they insist he must walk to the mission that way with the rope around his neck, following the horses. How far is the mission from here? 12 miles. Seems a little cruel. Maybe not. Give that old boy some time to figure a couple of new angles. Yeah. Yeah, you could be right, Perkins. Oh, it's good to be back in your lovely garden, Father. And it's good to have you, lad. Bless you for the happiness you brought me. I'm afraid the trip took longer than we planned. I hope you didn't worry, Father. Not at all, Tono, my son. I had my faith and you had my prayers. They came in handy a couple of times, Father. Will you have more lemonade, Mr. Perkins? Well, no thanks, Father. I got a gift. I got a little business to take care of. Business? Yeah, you see, I gotta set me up a little race meet, get out a few bets. Oh, yeah, and I gotta move fast. Now, this here fiesta is gonna be over Saturday night. So I gotta get going to promote this race meet for Sunday morning. Sunday? But that's the day the bishop will be here. Well, doggone, Father, I don't aim to interfere with your business. Oh, loud. Don't give it another thought, son. It'll work out. Well, if you must go, I'll walk out with you. Well, thank you, father, but please, now, come again. Well, sure. I'd be right proud to, father. So long, fellas. See you later, Perkins. Well, Tono, we had a few bad moments, but it was worth it, wasn't it? To see father o' toole so happy? Say, you know what I'm going to do right now? I am going to get in that hammock, and I am going to stay there. Oh, no, wait. It is not time to relax yet. What do you mean? I know father o' toole's flock. If perkins sets up this race meet, the pews will be empty Sunday. Ah, yeah. That's no way to impress the bishop. Maybe I ought to talk to Perkins. No, no, I think there is another way. Come on. Where? We will have to take a little trip. Oh, no. Yes, out to the Navajo camp. Why, Mr. Paladin, it hasn't rained here in a long time. You know, the dust is about a foot deep. Well, what's that got to do with it? If it should rain, the mud would be so deep, no horse could run. But it never rains this time of year out here. When I was talking to the Navajos today, I learned that in their camp is a man I remember from my childhood. A wonderful old medicine man. I recall that his rain chant work miracles. Ah, I see. We must impress the bishop. Of course. Look, Mr. Paladin. Hey, that's poncho. Hola. Hey, Pancho, where'd you get that horse? Pancho make a little business importante. Oh, beautiful world. Pancho's glad to be alive. And now Pancho come to play organo for the mass at san jair mission. I think we can start now. Most of the crowd seems to be out so well, Tono, I'd say the bishop's mass was quite a success. It certainly was. Look. Look at father o' toole at the door, Beaming at his flock as they file out. Mysterious ways of God performing his miracles. Yes. Bless you, my child. Father. Ah, Tono and paladin. God bless you, my sons. Thank you, father. It was a wonderful day, wasn't it? Oh, my. That is a day I'll remember all my life. Say, the bishop was impressed with, wasn't he? Oh, indeed he was. But how strange it should rain today. Hey boy or me's for paladin. My, this is find you home again at last. Here, let the hey boy take back. Thank you, hey boy. This was a successful trip. Yes, yes, it was. Oh, seem too bad. You miss potty. Big operable. No, hey boy, that wasn't important at all. Since I was able to help to make a very good man very happy. Oh, hey, Mr. Paladin. Missy Wong pretty upset about you. Oh, why? I don't know. Women kind of funny. You, hey boy don't understand women very good. I know, hey boy, I know. Oh, there, missy wong. Now, missy wong, look here. Oh, Mr. Paladin, welcome home. Thank you, Ms. Wong. It's good to be home. Mr. Paladin, did you ever have time to lie in hammock, have good rest? No. No, I didn't, Ms. Wong. When I finally had the time, it was raining.
