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. -

Information From IMDbPlot 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."
