The fifth season of Have Gun, Will Travel begins as soldier-of-fortune Paladin (Richard Boone) provides escort for Adella Forsyth (Mary Fickett), a prim, idealistic nurse who is determined to minister to a frontier town that would rather have a male doctor. While trekking through a wintry mountain pass, the two travellers meet a pair of scrungy prospectors (one of whom is played by future Oscar winner George Kennedy), who may have killed their partner. The experience proves to be a harrowing one for Adella--so much so that Paladin worries that she'll forget her dreams about being an "angel of mercy." With this episode, Kam Tong returns after a season's absence in the role of pixieish bellhop Hey Boy.
