Alias Smith and Jones

- Season 1

(1971)

A pair of outlaws seeking amnesty from the Governor must stay incognito and out of trouble in a town while a friend pleads their case. The wait is complicated by a lovely bank manager and the arrival of members of their former gang.

A wealthy art collector, McCreedy, hires the duo to procure a bust of Caesar that, unfortunately, the current owner doesn't want to part with. Of course he will want it back. But while we're waiting, let's see if McCreedy or Hannibal will out-con the other at cards.

Hannibal and the Kid have finally found good jobs in a town where they can really fit in. So why is everyone trying to convince them to get out of town? And more to the point; why are they being so polite about it? And why can't our heroes take some good advice just once?

Desperate to leave a town where the sheriff knows them on sight, Hayes and Curry steal train tickets and board a sold-out train bound for Brimstone. They discover the men they're impersonating are Bannerman detectives, hired to destroy their old gang.

Decoys, misdirections and deceptions are the order of the day as Hannibal and the Kid get a taste of the other side of the robbery business when they are hired to transport $50,000. To add to the confusion, throw in a very naive, idealistic young woman as a love interest and possible thief.

Hannibal has finally met up with a nice girl he can take home to mother. She's refined and proper and, wait a minute, a money hungry gold digger! And wait another minute, Hannibal is working a horse racing con on her. Has Hannibal given up bank robbery for the confidence game? There has to be another story behind this story.

A lovely lady hires Hannibal to help her find her husband who joined the Devil's Hole Gang to escape an errant murder change. At least that's her story, or rather one of her stories. Her supposed husband has a different story. Their relationship turns out to be not so loving and bullets fly, quite literally.

A crooked banker robs his own bank to cover his embezzlement and pins the crime on Heyes and Curry. In order to clear their name, they'll con the banker into investing in a fake diamond mine that is too good to be true.

A stagecoach is held up and the outlaws later realize that Hayes and Curry were on it. Hoping to collect on their reward money, they surround them at a way station - will one of the passengers collaborate for a share of the reward?

Hannibal and Kid Curry get two jobs; one dangerous the other, who knows. Kid loses the coin toss, and is to deliver a wagon-load of high explosives to a mining operation. Hannibal gets to play tour guide for a group of archaeologists looking for a long lost tribe of 7ft tall red-haired Indians.

On a stagecoach Heyes and Curry meet two lovely ladies who carry a note supposedly showing the location of a buried fortune, but may - or may not - be worthless Confederate money.

A killer's picking off participants in a poker game one by one, including the attempted murders of Hayes and Curry, to conceal the real target.

In Mexico Heyes and Curry meet two American women, one a singer, the other a casino owner. The four join together to drive a herd of maverick cattle to the States, hoping to sell them, but also for one of them to complete a secret agenda.

Accidentally grabbing the wrong bag on a train leaves the boys holding 5 million in jewels. Naturally they return them to the owner, but that only puts them in a deeper hole, as the owner claims they switched the real ones for fakes.

A $100,000 in stolen gold is buried somewhere in the desert and everyone wants to recover it. A saloon singer knows where it is and gets the boys to help her. Harry Briscoe is also around and seems to have a scheme of his own.
