SYNOPSIS
A grizzled old ex-cavalry scout and
his grandson searched the West for the boy's father in this unusual Western, set
in the 1870's. James Sonnett had disappeared
19 years before, leaving the infant Jeff in Will's care. As the years passed
the boy had grown into manhood determined to find his father, who had meanwhile
become a notorious, but elusive, gunfighter.
The old man (played by character
actor Walter Brennan, then 73) and his grandson
followed James's trail, finding many who knew of him, some with bitterness
and hatred, others with gratitude and awe. James Sonnett (played by Jason Evers) was seen fleetingly in a few episodes, and Will and Jeff finally
caught up with him at the end of the second season. They convinced him
to stop running and begin a new career with them in a frontier town as
lawmen!
Unfortunately ABC did not renew the show, so their new careers
were brief.
