The show's theme song, "The Unknown Stuntman", was written by Glen A.

In the course of dealing with the villains, Seavers performs a stunt similar to the one shown at the beginning of the show. His case turns out to be more complicated than it first seemed. They are then assigned to finding, for example, a man who has skipped bail.
Typically, an episode starts with Seavers' crew performing a stunt for a film or TV series. He is accompanied by his cousin and stuntman-in-training Howie Munson, and occasionally by fellow stunt performer Jody Banks. He uses his physical skills and knowledge of stunt effects (especially stunts involving cars or his large GMC pickup truck) to capture fugitives and criminals. Lee Majors plays Colt Seavers, a Hollywood stunt man who moonlights as a bounty hunter.
