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.
