Gunslinger was a Western television series starring Tony Young that aired on the CBS television network from February 9 until May 18, 1961 on Thursdays from 9 to 10 p.m. EST. The series theme song was sung by Frankie Laine. Young played Cord, a young gunfighter who works undercover for the local army garrison commander, acting as a secret law enforcement agent in the territory. The series lasted for only twelve episodes. Gunslinger was the successor to Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theater.
Directed by Charles Marquis Warren, Gunslinger leans on a strong ensemble — Tony Young, Preston Foster, John Pickard — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about western titles of 1961.
