He moves from one job to the next, one town to the next, plying his training as an engineer. He always takes the time to lend a hand, to right a wrong, to stand up to injustice.; ; From time to time, Professor Ulysses S. Grant recruits him for daring undercover missions, which he courageously undertakes, but his disgrace and shame follow him wherever he goes.; ; Branded, first aired in January, 1965, had a very successful two year run, and was very well received.
