Cannon was portrayed in the series as a veteran of the Korean War and a former member of the Los Angeles Police Department. He was street smart but appeared to have an unusually high level of education outside the law enforcement field. Besides his obvious familiarity with several languages, he showed extensive knowledge of such diverse subjects as science, art and history. Cannon was a widower, having lost his wife and son in a bomb attack while he was on the police force.

Conrad was an overweight actor, and the series, especially in its early episodes, made frequent mention of Cannon's size and weight. Other characters would often remark critically about this, while he himself would joke self-deprecatingly about his girth and great love of food. In fact, Cannon was a gourmet cook who enjoyed preparing food for his friends. Despite his large size, he was a man of action, often engaging successfully in fistfights and shoot-outs with bad guys.

In total, there were 122 episodes, plus the series' two-hour pilot and a 1980 "revival" television film, The Return of Frank Cannon. The plots, as in other detective series, revolved around Cannon solving crimes for a variety of clients. In a number of early episodes, he was hired by insurance companies to investigate losses. Other episodes involved him working for people from his past. In some cases, he was forced into action to clear himself of falsified charges.
