PART 1. The Birth of the Swamp Fox One of producer Walt Disney ’s more blatant efforts to duplicate the success of his early TV miniseries Davy Crockett , the eight-part Swamp Fox featured another flamboyant frontiersman hero who wore coonskin-style headgear and whose adventures were introduced with a catchy, memorable theme song. Based on a book by Dr. Robert D. Bass, The Swamp Fox stars Leslie Nielsen as real-life American patriot Francis Marion, a wealthy landowner who during the Revolutionary War led a hardy band of guerilla fighters against the Redcoats and pro-British tories in his native South Carolina. The villain of the piece (at least in the first few episodes) was another actual historical figure, the ruthless Banastre Tarleton ( John Sutton ), an officer in the British Green Dragoons (Marion and Tarleton later served as the models for the hero and villain, respectively, of the 1999 Mel Gibson film Patriot). In the first episode, Marion is prevailed upon by his friends and neighbors to help free South Carolina from the grip of British rule. His task is made difficult by the fact that his sweetheart, Mary Videaux ( Joy Page ), is from a pro-Tory family. "The Birth of the Swamp Fox" originally aired as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.PART 2. Brother Against Brother In the second episode of Walt Disney's eight-part miniseries The Swamp Fox, the Redcoats have retaliated against the raids of Colonel Francis Marion's guerillas by burning down their homes. While Francis ( Leslie Nielsen ) advises his men to wait before striking back, his own brother Gabriel ( Dick Foran ) is in no mood to bide his time. Gabriel has vowed vengeance in particular against the pro-Tory Videaux family, even though Mary Videaux ( Joy Page ) is in love with Francis. What neither Gabriel nor the Redcoats realize is that Mary is secretly working on the guerillas' behalf, spying on the British and reporting their activities to Francis. "Brother Against Brother" was originally telecast as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.PART 3. Tory Vengeance In the third episode of Walt Disney's eight-part miniseries The Swamp Fox, Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion ( Leslie Nielsen ) must pretend to despise his sweetheart, Mary Videaux (Barbara Eiler), lest anyone suspects Mary is one of Francis' most valuable allies against the Redcoats. Despite this charade, Redcoat leader Col. Tarleton ( John Sutton ) smells a rat. Meanwhile, Marion's nephew, Gabe ( Tim Considine ), hopes to impress his girlfriend, Melanie ( Sherry Jackson ), and dons his new Continental Army uniform and rides off to visit her -- whereupon he is captured by British officer Col. Townes ( Henry Daniell ). "Tory Vengeance" originally aired as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.PART 4. Day of Reckoning In the fourth episode of Walt Disney's eight-part miniseries The Swamp Fox, Continental Army guerilla leader Francis Marion ( Leslie Nielsen ) feels responsible when his nephew Gabe is killed by the Tories. Letting revenge outweigh his duty to his men, Marion personally sets out to kill Gabe's murderer, Amos Briggs ( John Anderson ). As a result of Marion's dereliction, the Redcoats seize control of South Carolina's valuable salt supply, necessitating a desperate last-minute raid against British fortifications. " Day of Reckoning " originally aired as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.PART 5. Redcoat Strategy In the fifth episode of Walt Disney's eight-part miniseries The Swamp Fox, the guerilla forces under the leadership of Francis Marion ( Leslie Nielsen ) have succeeded in capturing British officer Col. Townes ( Henry Daniell ). Unfortunately, Marion's longtime enemy Col. Tarleton ( John Sutton ) has, at the same time, seized the home of Marion's brother Gabriel ( John Sutton ). As Marion prepares to escort Towne and his wife to Continental Headquarters, Tarleton lays a carefully planned trap for the elusive "Swamp Fox", using Redcoats disguised as American patriots. "Redcoat Strategy" originally aired as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.PART 6. A Case of Treason In the sixth episode of Walt Disney's eight-part miniseries The Swamp Fox, 18th century American guerilla leader Francis Marion ( Leslie Nielsen ) has again succeeded in thwarting the plans of Redcoat officer Col. Tarleton ( John Sutton ). Escaping from Marion's men, Tarleton takes refuge in the home of Mary Videaux (Barbara Eiler), whom he believes is a pro-British Tory. But when Tarleton sees Mary kissing Francis during a secret rendezvous, he puts two and two together and realizes that Mary is working for the Continentals. Capturing Mary and putting her on trial for treason in Charleston, SC, Tarleton hopes to flush out Marion and his men for a final, bloody showdown. "A Case of Treason" originally aired as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.PART 7. A Woman's Courage In the seventh episode of Walt Disney's eight-part miniseries The Swamp Fox, Revolutionary War hero Francis Marion ( Leslie Nielsen ) has rescued his sweetheart Mary Videaux (Barbara Eiler) from the clutches of British officer Col. Tarleton. In their efforts to escape the British-held port of Charleston, Marion and his band of guerillas must first find themselves a sailing vessel. Mary works out a clever scheme whereby she convinces the captain of a British prison ship that she is a loyalist and that she hopes to throw Marion's men in irons. "A Woman's Courage" originally aired as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.PART 8. Horses for Greene In the final episode of Walt Disney's eight-part miniseries The Swamp Fox, Revolutionary War patriot Francis Marion ( Leslie Nielsen ) and his fellow guerillas have placed themselves under the command of Continental Army officer Captain Richardson ( James Seay ). Intending to instill some discipline into Marion's ragtag band, Richardson soon finds that he is fighting a losing battle. But all worries about "following the book" are set aside when Marion is ordered by General Greene to capture some horses from the Tories. "Horses for Greene" originally aired as part of the Walt Disney Presents anthology.
