• This first show was considered a juvenile western.
• It aired between 1942 and 1945 from New York City.
• The show was based on a character created by O’Henry.
• The two main stars were Jackson Beck and Louis Sorin.
• The main character was a romantic leading man, who, with his fat comedic partner, wandered around the west.
• The title character was a ladies man and always got the girl at the end.
