Synopsis

Dundee and the Culhane follows the exploits of two frontier lawyers who provided legal defense to their accused clients. Dundee, played by Mills, was an older English lawyer who travelled to the American Old West and partners with a young Irish-American lawyer, nicknamed the Culhane. The title of each episode ended with the word "brief", as in a legal brief.

The show attempted to combine the Western and legal show genres, but with little success. CBS had bought it on the strength of its pilot, but after seeing a few additional episodes and scripts, network officials were convinced that the show was going to fail before it even got started. CBS decided in September to replace Dundee and the Culhane in December with a Jonathan Winters variety hour.
