Hopalong Cassidy

The Plague of Parson's Folly

von

Hopalong Cassidy brings the Western adventures of the famed cowboy to radio. Known for his calm judgment and strong sense of fairness, Hoppy rides with his young companion California Carlson, whose enthusiasm and impulsiveness often contrast with Hoppy’s steady approach.

The program presents self-contained frontier stories shaped by ranch life, travel, and encounters with people in need of help. In “The Plague of Parson’s Folly,” the episode title suggests a trouble-filled Western adventure, with the familiar radio blend of dialogue, action, and atmosphere carrying the story.

Its appeal lies in the straightforward storytelling and clear moral center: courage matters, but so do patience, loyalty, and a willingness to stand up for others. The result is an inviting classic Western listen, led by a hero who prefers to settle trouble with good sense whenever he can.
