Frontier Town is a radio show centered around the character Chad Remington, an aspiring lawyer in the big city, whose world is turned upside down when he learns of his father's murder back in the small ranching town of Dos Rios. His quest for justice leads him to a new career as a crime-fighting attorney, striving to bring order to his small corner of the frontier as it transitions from the Old West to the New. The show features a cast of interesting characters, including Remington's Western sidekick Cherokee O'Bannon, a hard-drinking gentleman of mixed blood, who is played by comedic character actor Wade Crosby. The tone of the show is adventurous and exciting, and the storytelling style focuses on the individual sagas of different towns in the wild west.

The radio show Frontier Town aired from 1950 to 1953 and was syndicated by Bruce Eells Productions. Jeff Chandler initially played the role of Chad Remington and was eventually replaced by veteran actor Reed Hadley halfway through the series. The show ran for 47 episodes, airing on different stations at various times due to syndication. Some parts of the show included organ music provided by Ivan Ditmars and Bob Mitchell, and the show was written and directed by Paul Franklin. The series gained the attention of radio fans and historians alike for its portrayal of the hardships and adventures of the early settlers in the untamed wild west.
