    Sugarfoot is an American Western series that aired on ABC from 1957 to 1961.
    The series stars Will Hutchins as the fledgling frontier lawyer from Oklahoma Territory, Tom Brewster,
    and Jack Elam in occasional episodes as sidekick Toothy Thompson.
    Brewster was a correspondence-school graduate
    whose apparent lack of cowboy skills earned him the nickname "Sugarfoot".


    Another teenage memory.
    Much lighter in tone then some of the other horse operas,
    but enjoyable in its own way.
    Sugarfoot was one of the earliest productions
    between ABC and the new Warner Brothers Television Department,
    chaired by William T. Orr. Other shows to come from this, included,
    Maverick, Cheyenne, Bronco, Lawman, and Colt .45.
    Will Hutchins appeared as Sugarfoot in crossover episodes of
    Cheyenne and Maverick,
    and in an installment of Bronco called
    "The Yankee Tornado" featuring Peter Breck as the young Theodore Roosevelt.

    Plot Summary
    Correspondence-school law graduate Tom Brewster travels west
    to seek his fortune.
    Unfortunately, his "cowboy" abilities leave a lot to be desired
    and earn him the nickname "Sugarfoot" which is one step lower than a "Tenderfoot."
