Boxcars711 Overnight Western "Sugarfoot - Brannigan's Boots" (Aired September 17, 1957)
Back in the 1950s, when the television landscape was literally crawling with tales of sagebrush, Wagon Train was one of the most popular tube oaters—and classiest (the average cost per episode hovered around $100,000…compared to $70,000 for something like Sugarfoot…Sugarfoot…easy lopin’, cattle-ropin’ Sugarfoot…sorry…got carried away there for a sec). From 1958-61, it was the No. 2-ranked series in the Nielsens, beaten out by Gunsmoke…but in the 1961-62 season it sent Marshal Dillon and Company packing and claimed the top spot.
THIS EPISODE:
Brannigan's Boots, adapted for radio, from the classic show Sugarfoot which aired September 17, 1957 starring Will Hutchins as Tom Brannigan. Crooked politicians in Bluerock appoint Tom sheriff after noting his poor shooting aim. Tom, however, takes the job seriously, and in the sheriffs office he dons a pair of boots standing against the wall. A pretty girl who is watching him says he's not man enough to fill her father's boots and, to prove her wrong, Tom sets out to find her father's killer.
