The show followed the adventures of Paladin, a gentleman-turned-gunfighter (played by Richard Boone), who preferred to settle problems without violence, yet, when forced to fight, excelled.

When working, he dressed in black, wore a holster with a chess knight emblem, and carried a derringer under his belt.
