- A late entry in the late-1950s television Western boom that featured a lead unlike other show heroes. Slade wasn't a Marshal, Sheriff, or gunfighter for hire; he was a private detective hired to track down criminals, return stolen money, or solve mysteries surrounding the deaths of townspeople. The show had more in common with shows like "Peter Gunn" (1958) and "77 Sunset Strip" (1958) than "Gunsmoke" (1955) and "Bonanza" (1959). This show depended on strong characters and storylines rather than action.
