Law of the Plainsman

The series recounts the exploits of Sam Buckhart, born among the Apache Indians but eventually educated at Harvard University and now a Deputy U.S. Marshal in the New Mexico territory of the 1880's. He is training under Marshal Andy Morrison in Santa Fe, living in a rooming house run by Martha Commager along with an orphaned 8-year-old girl he rescued. The Buchhart character originated in two episodes of The Rifleman: The Indian and The Raid.

Sam Buckhart était un Indien Apache qui a sauvé la vie d'un officier de cavalerie américain après une embuscade indienne. À la mort de cet officier, il a laissé à Sam une somme qui avait été utilisée pour des études dans des écoles privées et à l’Université de Harvard. Après l'école, il est retourné au Nouveau-Mexique où il est devenu maréchal adjoint du maréchal Andy Morrison et réside dans une pension de famille dirigée par Martha Commager. Tess Logan est une orpheline sauvée par Buckhart et âgée de 8 ans.

Sam Buckhard, Sheriff indianischer Herkunft, verrichtet seinen Dienst in New Mexico. Er wird zum Teil angefeindet, zum Teil aber auch respektiert. Die Serie wurde hier in Deutschland zusammengefasst als "Von Cowboys, Sheriffs und Banditen" mit anderen Western-Serien (The Westerner, Black Saddle, Johnny Ringo) gezeigt. Eine eigenständige Ausstrahlung gab es nicht.
