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.
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.
