as General Francis Marion (The Swamp Fox)

Premise:
Leslie Nielsen was General Francis Marion.
..aka The Swamp Fox. Based on the heroics of real-life patriot Francis
Marion, this mini-series produced by Walt Disney for his early TV show
"Walt Disney Presents ...", is a rollicking adventure. Francis Marion and his men fought
the British during the Revolutionary War and he earned the name Swamp Fox
by eluding the British in his native Carolina swamp land. He works with a
band of loyal colonists to form a small army that is quite similar to Robin
Hood and his men to stop invasions of Charleston. Like most Disney
adventures of the time (Davy Crockett, for example), this featured a
catchy theme song that the troupe sang as they marched down the road. It
was also used during the show's opening and closing credits with the lead
sung by none other than the Swamp Fox himself, Leslie Nielsen.

Directors included: Lewis R. Foster, Harry Keller, Louis King
