Thanks.....I think you'll like the plot and the dialogue. I'll be posting that later...but its a screenplay in progress, so it may change...especially if other members have good ideas to add.

THEME SONG:

Have Sword, will travel
Reads the card of the man
A knight with little amour in a savage land

His swift Sword for service heeds the calling shore
A knight-errant is the man called Sir Palidor

Sir Palidor, Sir Palidor where do you roam
Sir Palidor, Sir Palidor far, far from home

He travels on to wherever he must
A chess knight of silver is his badge of trust

There are campfire legends that the barbarians roar
Of the man with the Sword, of the man called Palidor

Sir Palidor, Sir Palidor where do you roam
Sir Palidor, Sir Palidor far, far from home
Far from home
      Far from home)

I was just thinking the same thing. :) An homage to "Have Gun, Will Travel" it sounds like. The character's name was Paladin, after all. :)

I've never seen that show, but I bet I heard it in the background somewhere when dad was watching it ... he loves the older B&W shows

I think I mentioned that I'm basing Sir Palidor on Paladin...even stealing some of his famous quotes. Palidin had a hidden derringer...and since Sor Palidor will be Scottish...even up till the end of WWI, they always kept two hidden daggers (started in medieval time) one in the boot and the other under the arm.I found the whole 250? episodes of "Have Gun, Will Travel" real cheap and am watching them a little at a time. I always liked him as a kid...and I like his episodes even more now...so much philosophy and high morals. They should put it on again for the younger people to watch. It would teach them some good things.

In my last post I forgot to include a photo of the outfit of Sir Palidor. I bought a Scottish claymore sword as you can see. And look close...under the arm and in the boot for those two daggers. I forget the Scottish names for them. I try to research everything I do to make things as close to realism as possible.
