User Reviews

Excellent and lots of fun! A real "B" Classic

This one's a real kick! 12-episode series, always ending in a climax and somewhat fun! There's a fight each episode, and see if you can guess how many times their hats come flying off! The good guys are always straight-shooters, and the bad guys are the worst shots in the world. Watch also for 8 and 10 shot guns!

Also, who ever the bad guy is that in each episode partners up with Spear ain't going to make it! Prof. Carver sure is a sly one as well! This series is a classic of a time period when life was simple!
