The famous Doc Elliot (Benjamin R. Elliot) was a character who went from a big life to serve a rural community in Colorado.

However, the famous doctor Elliot didn’t get a chance to see how much he could offer the local community as the show lasted for only 14 episodes. After the show ended, James Franciscus went on to further his career in the Italian acting industry. He did well for himself until 1991, when he died from emphysema.

11 episodes were made, but only five managed to make it on air as viewers were already tired by the time it reached midway.
