Texas Ranger Cordell Walker kicks posterior -- usually in slo-mo. Because of his martial-arts skills, he has a competitive edge against the bad guys. With the help of retired ranger C.D. Parker, partner James Trivette and A.D.A. Alex Cahill, Walker ruthlessly fights for justice.

Walker uses a psychic (Susan Blakely) to find an 8-year-old girl kidnapped from a grocery-store parking lot.

Dangerous escaped convicts go on a crime spree, knocking over banks throughout Texas, and Walker is hot on their trail.

Walker and an old friend, Boomer Night, create a midnight basketball league, uniting two rival gangs on the court and preventing violence on the streets.

The mob intimidates a local supper club into laundering money and Walker steps in to save the club and its owner, a crooner refusing to bend the rules.
