Storyline
Plot Summary |
In this Western series, Jason McCord, the only survivor of the Battle of Bitter Creek, is court-martialed and kicked out of the Army because of his alleged cowardice. Rather than demean the good name of the Army commander who was actually to blame for the massacre, McCord travels the Old West trying to restore his good name and reputation.

Did You Know?
Trivia | The show was supposed to be color from the beginning, but sponsor Procter & Gamble, who regularly sponsored NBC's Sunday night half hour programs between The Magical World of Disney (1954) and Bonanza (1959) insists that the show would be in black and white. It gradually went to color by its second and final season. See more » |
Goofs | Though the series overview states that this show was set in the 1880's, several episodes are clearly set during the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant, and two specifically deal with events leading up to Custer's Massacre at Little Bighorn. This proves that some of episodes were set in the 1870s. See more » |

Quotes |
Unknown singer of theme song:
All but one man died, There at Bitter Creek. / And they say he ran away. Branded! Marked with a coward's shame. What do you do when you're branded, will you fight for your name? He was innocent. Not a charge was true. But the world would never know. Branded! Scorned as the one who ran. What do you do when you're branded, and you know you're a man? Wherever you go for the rest of your life, you must prove... You're a man. See more » |
