Sidekicks is a 1974 American made-for-television comedy Western film directed by Burt Kennedy and starring Larry Hagman and Louis Gossett Jr.

The film was a pilot for a proposed television show[1] as a continuation of the 1971 theatrical release Skin Game, with James Garner and Gossett.

[2] Quince and Jason (played by Larry Hagman and Louis Gossett Jr.), two grifters traveling the Old West, are arrested by Prudy Jenkins (Blythe Danner), the zealous, rifle-wielding daughter of a small-town sheriff (Harry Morgan).

Sure enough, two outlaws, Sam and Ed (Gene Evans and Dick Peabody), break into the jail, tie up Prudy, and abscond with Quince and Jason, mistaking them for two suspected bank robbers.

In the resulting confusion, all criminals are arrested, Quince and Jason are kicked out of the county, and Prudy is saved from a fate worse than sanity.
