Dale Robertson's agent Hardy was unlike other stars of fifties westerns. He was the forerunner of the Clint Eastwood type of western hero... soft spoken, but willing to beat or shoot a bad guy without formal notice. He was very cocky, walking around with swag and sneering smirking, and wisecracking with an attitude to annoy the outlaws. With the ladies, he was the same way. He knew what he wanted and so did they. Lots of action and this show may have conveyed the lawlessness and danger of the west better than any other. The action sequences with stagecoach horses galloping flat out, being pursued by outlaws was very exciting. Robertson was voted best horseman in a western series, and you could tell. All around great show.
