Rick, used to love watching Yancy Derringer, with Jock Mahoney and Pahoot, played by X Brands who may have been a real Indian for all I know. On the other hand, he never said nothin' so he coulda been an out of work Italian waiter from Flatbush. (You want spaghetti with your chianti? Soitanly!)

I still remember, more than 50 years later, a great line spoken by Yancy to a guy who had better start talking fast: "Pahoot knows tricks with a knife that would turn the Sphinx into a blabbermouth."

Great music too. Can still hear the theme in my mind. Even the carpetbagger governor was a nice guy. Great show, and at the time I really envied Yancy's lifestyle of hanging around in French Quarter saloons, whiskey in hand, flirting with beautiful women under slow-turning fans.

No fire water for Pahoot, though. His only joy in life was yanking out his sawed-off and playing mumbledy-peg with that Arkansas toothpick!
