After inadvertently leading his Union troops to victory, bumbling Capt. Wilton Parmenter (Ken Berry) becomes a hero and is made commander of Fort Courage in the first season of this hilariously satirical Western sitcom. But while Parmenter and his soldiers stumble through their military duties, it's wily Sgt. Morgan O'Rourke (Forrest Tucker) and his sidekick, Cpl. Randolph Agarn (Larry Storch), who are really running the show.
