Sheriff '''Ellsworth''' is the primary law enforcement officer in [[Paradise Valley]], [[California]], [[Earth (1980)|Earth]].

Ellsworth apparently in cahoots with [[John Stockton]] of the [[Stanford Chemical Plant]], and is called upon to deal with the meddling efforts of [[Warrior]]s [[Troy (1980)|Troy]] and [[Dillon]]. These two Warriors become involved in the issue of Stanford Chemical's toxic waste disposal methods after three of the [[Super Scouts]] fall ill, after drinking water from a lake containing toxic waste.

Ellsworth and three of his deputies, including [[Collins]], go to arrest the Super Scouts and their "phony scoutmasters" after word comes to him that their scout troop doesn't exist {{G80|The Super Scouts, Part I}}. However, they are bemused when they find their encampment gone, apples thrown from a non-apple tree, and their cars driving off (seemingly) by themselves. 

Ellsworth later calls on Colonel [[Jack Sydell]], with whom he relays his story. Ellsworth later accompanies Sydell to the hospital to check on the super scouts, and later drives him to an abandoned Nike missile base atop a mountain in the hopes of capturing Troy, Dillon, the Super Scouts, and the first definitive evidence of a UFO. While this fails, Ellsworth later finds a box of cubits and a note from the Warriors apologizing for the trouble they've caused, in addition to payment for the stolen money, much to Ellsworth's delight ([[1980]]: "[[The Super Scouts, Part II]]").
