Supposed to be spun off from Davy Crockett on Disneyland, but made by a different production company that couldn't secure the rights, so it became about Daniel Boone (Fess Parker). He also wore the trademark coonskin cap and was a frontier hunter, who often met famous historical figures. This parody begins with Boone and store owner Cincinattus (Dallas McKennon).

Mingo (Ed Ames) was Boone's sidekick, played by a white man regularly cast as a Native American. (side note: he may be more known as the guy who narrowly missed Johnny Carson's crotch with a tomahawk). His wife was Becky (Patricia Blair) and son was Israel (Darby Hinton).
