Created by Larry Cohen, his first series as creator and producer, the series was originally intended as an allegory about blacklisting during McCarthyism, which, according to Cohen, lead to him being fired from the series after mistakenly telling its right-wing star, Chuck Connors. Following star Connors' popular 1958-1963 Western series "The Rifleman," Connors stars as Jason McCord, a former US cavalry captain who was court-martialed after being unjustly accused of cowardice.
