STORY: The misadventures of a troop of cavalry men in Fort
Courage, located in Kansas. Episodes depict Captain Wilton
Parmenter, a bumbling buffoon constantly being outwitted by
Sergeant Morgan O'Rourke, the head of the illegal O'Rourke
Enterprises, a business dealing in Indian souvenirs made by
the friendly Hekawi Indian tribe. His long-time friend,
Corporal Randolph Agarn, often assists him in his scheme to
expand their business. Other stories deal with efforts of
the beautiful general store owner, "Wrangler" Jane Angelica
Thrift, to convince Captain Parmenter to marry her. F Troop
remains popular, even though only two seasons were produced,
because of the comedic talents of Larry Storch and his pal
Forrest Tucker. They later starred together on a Saturday
morning series called the Ghost Busters. (Which is
available on videocassette as "the Original Ghost Busters").
