The Six Shooter
Silver Annie
by
The Six Shooter stars Jimmy Stewart as Britt Ponset, a wandering cowboy whose travels across the American West bring him into contact with people facing difficult choices and unexpected trouble. Britt is a capable gunman, but he is also thoughtful and humane, often looking for a way to resolve a conflict without violence.
Each episode is a self-contained Western drama, shaped by the people Britt meets and the dilemmas they encounter. The stories draw on familiar frontier settings—small towns, ranches, and open country—while giving their characters room for humor, tension, and moments of reflection. Stewart’s narration and performance help make Britt feel like a companion recounting the people and incidents he has come across.
The series has a measured, character-focused style rather than relying only on gunfights and action. Its appeal lies in the contrast between the dangers of the frontier and Britt’s steady decency, with Stewart’s warm, distinctive voice at the center of the listening experience.
