Davy Crockett is a five-part serial which aired on ABC in one-hour episodes on the Disneyland series. The series stars Fess Parker as real-life frontiersman Davy Crockett and Buddy Ebsen as his friend, George Russel.

The first three episodes of the serial were edited together as the 1955 theatrical film Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier, and rebroadcast in color in the 1960s when the Disney program went to NBC. This series and film are known for the catchy theme song, "The Ballad of Davy Crockett". It was filmed in color at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park at the Mountain Farm Museum adjacent to the visitor center at Oconaluftee near Qualla Reservation's entrance and Janss Conejo Ranch, California.

The final two episodes were edited together as the 1956 theatrical film Davy Crockett and the River Pirates. It was filmed in Cave-In-Rock, Illinois.

Davy Crockett bat un chef indien en combat singulier et lui promet que seront respectés les droits de son peuple. Il ira jusqu'à se faire élire député pour tenir sa promesse. En 1836, Davy et son ami Georges Russel partent au Texas avec 200 volontaires, pour défendre le Fort Alamo. Après un siège de treize jours, Davy Crockett et ses camarades seront massacrés par les 5000 soldats envoyés par le dictateur Santa Anna.

Con il suo cappello di pelliccia da cacciatore, Davy Crockett difende e protegge gli interessi della comunità degli indiani e dei pionieri dagli affaristi corrotti. Il salto successivo è la politica, che però lo delude troppo...
