42nd Street Cavalry originated as a two-hour episode of the popular TV series McCloud. Assigned to the NYPD's mounted police unit, detective McCloud (Dennis Weaver) takes chase when several armed robbers hold up a National Guard Armory and wound a cop. The trail leads McCloud to a looney paramilitary leader. Before all this happens, we are treated to a comic scene wherein McCloud leads his fellow mounted officers through the canyons of Manhattan. 42nd Street Cavalry was first broadcast on November 17, 1974. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
