After Annie thwarts a bank robbery attempt, young Smiley Douglas decides it would be a great joke to pretend to rob the bank the very next day without benefit of a weapon. Lofty fails to see the humor in the practical joke, but sets the man free. The outlaw gang who bungled their earlier attempt trick the trickster into helping them rob the bank yet again. .br br Director Frank McDonaldbr Starring Gail Davis, Brad Johnson, Jimmy Hawkins, Bob Woodwardbr br Castbr Gail Davis as Annie Oakleybr Brad Johnson as Deputy Sheriff Lofty Craigbr Jimmy Hawkins as Tagg Oakleybr Bob Woodward as Stagecoach Driverbr Harry Lauter as Bert Slade br Stanley Andrews as Chet Osgoodbr Gregg Barton as Boyd Spencer br Myron Healey as Al Proctor .br br ANNNIE OAKLEY is an American Western television series that fictionalizes the life of the famous Annie Oakley.
