This pilot (which was never aired) was produced a year before the Roy Rogers Show began production. Pat Brady, who would portray the comical sidekick in that successful series, fills that same role here. Much of Brady's comedy was associated with his mode of transportation. In this pilot he rides a mule that is often taking him around in circles, but in the Roy Rogers Show he switched to a jeep named Nellie Belle that also seemed to have a mind of it's own.
Dale Evens, of course, would also star in the Roy Rogers Show, but it would have been nice if this pilot had been picked up and she could have headlined her own show. Maybe Roy could have put in a few guest appearances.
