Cast: John Bromfield
While this sounds like a simple western, The Sheriff of Cochise was a contemporary police drama set in Cochise County, AZ. The stories seemed to emphasize fistfights and car chases rather than gun play. Tough Sheriff Frank Morgan was eventually promoted to U.S. Marshall and given the entire State of Arizona to keep under control.
The series title would subsequently change to “U.S. Marshal” and remain in syndication until 1960. A total of 156 episodes were produced under both titles.
