The Map

I memorize the map and destroyed it. If you kill me, you'll never find the money. Have gone! Will travel! Starring Mr. John Dana as Paladin. San Francisco 1875.

The Carlton Hotel. Headquarters of a man called Paladin. Mr. Paladin! Yes, yes, yes. What's all the excitement? Oh, Mr. Paladin, you in trouble with Army? Trouble with the Army, well, no. Oh, that's good.

Why do you ask? Well, here, boy, here, Army Colonel, ask for you downstairs. And here, boy, maybe you in trouble, I'll give you a chance to get away. Oh, too late. Huh? That's Potter. Colonel Potter.

You fellas, man. Well, Potter. What are you doing here? Good to see you. Last I heard of you. You were on the trail of those payroll bandits. What are you doing now? Hell, I'm still on their trail.

That's why I've come to you. Three years and you still haven't caught them. Well, come on in. Come on in. Thanks. I'll talk to you later, hey boy. Oh, he is so. Well, sit on, John.

Have a cigar. Oh, thank you. Here. Well, you seem to have done all right, Ballad. Boy, I try. I just hope you're not so well off. You can't use $500. I can always use $500, John.

You want me to join the search, huh? We're getting close to him, Paladin. With your help, I think we can get him. How close are you? How much do you remember of the case? Well, let me think.

It was a payroll for Fort Anderson. Two men made off with the money, and they took, how much was it? $80,000? $90,000. And there were three men in on it. That's right. We discovered there was an army man involved. He did all the inside work.
