Reese Bennett, played by Brand, is older than his two partners. Originally from New Orleans , Chad was in the Border Patrol during the war. He joined the Rangers to search for the gunrunners who had ambushed fellow border patrolmen. Joe was a gunfighter who was at times on the wrong side of the law. He joined the Rangers to obtain protection from a sheriff. Chad and Joe tease Reese about his age: he was in his forties.  The three Rangers are led by Captain Edward Parmalee, played by Philip Carey who was stern and disciplined.
