Sugarfoot

4 Seasons1957 - 1961TV-PG1h 00m7.4

Correspondence-school law graduate Tom Brewster travels west to seek his fortune. Unfortunately, his "cowboy" abilities leave a lot to be desired and earn him the nickname "Sugarfoot", which is one step lower than a "Tenderfoot".

Tom Brewster was an Easterner law graduate who moved to the Oklahoma Territory to seek employment. He was reluctant to use guns (though able to do so),and he was also a teetotaler whose favorite drink was "sarsaparilla with a dash of cherry". In the first episode, he was hired as a replacement sheriff to replace a murdered predecessor. He was nicknamed Sugarfoot by his predecessor's daughter for his apparent lack of fighting skills, though he eventually solved her father's murder. Subsequent episodes had him drifting from job to job, while wandering throughout the Old West and Mexico.
