Synopsis

A guitar-strumming bovine sheriff and his rabbit deputy Rabbit-Foot maintain law and order in a small Western town. They have their hands full with a tough gang of banditos. Rabbit-Foot wants to capture crooks, but the sheriff has other ideas - like Rabbit-Foot sweeping the jail. That does stop "R-F," and soon, dandy traps have caught something: the sheriff!

Production notes

Pilot episode for an unproduced series.

Instead of an animated version of the real Gene Autry, there was this little-seen parody, which aired in limited markets before fading into obscurity.

This pilot ended up airing in the syndicated rerun of "Underdog." It was removed in 1994 and replaced with a "Tennessee Tuxedo" episode.
