In BRANDED, Chuck Connors plays the part of Captain Jason McCord, West Point graduate and decorated Cavalry officer. As the sole survivor of the Battle of Bitter Creek, an Apache Indian massacre, he is judged to have deserted the field of battle and is stripped of his rank. He is branded a coward and disgraced in the eyes of the world.
In these sixteen episodes, the entire first season, McCord roams the West in search of redemption and justice, for others and ultimately for himself.
His exciting travels take him into the lives of many others searching for the dream of the American West. He moves from one job to the next, one town to the next, plying his training as an engineer. He always takes the time to lend a hand, to right a wrong, to stand up to injustice.
From time to time, Professor Ulysses S. Grant recruits him for daring undercover missions, which he courageously undertakes, but his disgrace and shame follow him wherever he goes.
BRANDED, first aired in January, 1965, had a very successful two year run, and was very well received. A mark of its success is the number and quality of television stars of the time that appeared in guest roles. They included Alex Cord, Burt Reynolds, Peter Graves, Rod Cameron, Claude Akins, Gene Evans, John Ireland, John Carradine, MacDonald Carey, Cesar Romero, Chad Everett, Marie Windsor, Marilyn Maxwell, Warren Oates, Greg Morris, John Agar, Bruce Dern, Beau Bridges, Lee Van Cleef and many more future stars.
BRANDED is a true Western classic and Chuck Connnors as Jason McCord is the epitome of the American spirit; rugged and courageous. He is unafraid to take on any task, and through his strength and will, he is able to overcome whatever odds are placed before him.
