Alias Smith & Jones
1 9 7 1 - 1 9 7 3 (USA)
50 x 60 minute episodes
Hannibal "Joshua Smith" Heyes (a safe
cracker and card sharp), and Kid "Thaddeus Jones" Curry (a gunslinger
who never actually shot anyone!) are two loveable ex-outlaws trying to
go straight. The Governor has promised them a pardon for their past
crimes if they can stay out of trouble for one year.
Unfortunately the deal is a secret and
there is still a bounty on their heads so trouble usually finds them.
For three television seasons Heyes and
Curry were chased across the American West by posses, bounty hunters,
and fellow outlaws looking to settle a score. Despite their earnest
attempt to lead honest lives, circumstances would often dictate that
they fall back on the tools of their former trade to get themselves
out of trouble.
TRIVIA NOTE
Roger Davis was the narrator heard in the opening credits of the
series until Peter Duel's death. He then took the role of Heyes and
someone else took over the role of narrator.
