The Six Shooter
Apron Faced Sorrel
by
The Six Shooter stars Jimmy Stewart as Britt Ponset, a wandering cowboy whose travels bring him into contact with people facing trouble, danger, and difficult choices in the American West. Rather than a conventional lawman, Britt is a capable but thoughtful gunfighter, guided by a strong sense of fairness and a reluctance to use violence when another solution is possible.
Each installment tells a self-contained Western story, using dialogue, sound effects, and music to create its frontier settings and conflicts. Britt’s encounters range from tense confrontations to quieter moments of human understanding, with the people he meets shaping the course of each tale.
Stewart’s relaxed, distinctive delivery gives the series an approachable center, balancing the suspense of the Western adventure with warmth and dry humor. The result is a character-driven radio Western that favors decency and reflection alongside action.
