"Not your typical rough-and-tumble bounty hunter of the Old West, Josh Randall (McQueen) was a consummate gentleman who always gave half - or even all - of his reward money to charity. A man of few words, Randolph let his 'mare's leg,' a Winchester sawed-off shotgun, do most of his talking as he took on criminals, protected people in need and battled rival bounty hunters in each exciting, pulse-pounding episode."--Container.
