    Storyline

    Edit
    Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry, two of the most wanted outlaws in the history of the West, are popular "with everyone except the railroads and the banks", since "in all the trains and banks they robbed, they never shot anyone". They are offered an amnesty on condition that they stay out of trouble for a year and that they don't tell anyone what's (not) happening. Trying to keep their noses clean they adopt the identities of Smith and Jones and use all of their ingenuity to keep out of the way of the law. —Anonymous

      During the entire show, Heyes and Curry have either one pair of saddlebags each, or nothing at all, yet they continually appear in different recurring outfits, including heavy coats, suits (with matching hats), and different vest/jacket combinations.
    • Quotes

      [first lines for first season's episodes]

      [narrator speaks over scenes of Heyes and Curry committing various robberies]

      Narrator: Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry - the two most successful outlaws in the history of the West. And in all the trains and banks they robbed, they never shot anyone. This made our two latter-day Robin Hoods very popular - with everyone but the railroads and the banks.

      [cut to scene of posse in hot pursuit of Heyes and Curry]

      Jed 'Kid' Curry: There's one we thing we gotta get, Heyes.

      Hannibal Heyes: What's that?

      Jed 'Kid' Curry: Out of this business!

      [cut to meeting between Heyes, Curry and Sheriff Trevors]

      Sheriff Lom Trevors: The governor can't come flat out and give you amnesty now. First you have to prove you deserve it.

      Hannibal Heyes: Ah. So all we have to do is just stay out of trouble till the governor figures we deserve amnesty.

      Jed 'Kid' Curry: But in the mean time, we'll still be wanted.

      Sheriff Lom Trevors: Well, that's true. Till then only you, me and the Governor will know about it. It'll be our little secret.

      Hannibal Heyes: That's a good deal?

      [cut to scene where another posse is in hot pursuit of Heyes and Curry]

      Jed 'Kid' Curry: I sure wish the governor'd let a few more people in on our secret!

    Best comedy western
    I agree with the other review. I was devastated when Peter Duel died. I did not like the replacement, Roger Davis in 1971. I watched it recently and boy was I wrong. I miss Peter Duel, and wish he had not committed suicide, but the show with Roger Davis was as good as with Peter. I wonder why they did not use Roger Davis in the first place. I will watch the series again and again, all 50 episodes, wishing they tried a fourth season. This could have been the longest running show on TV had it not been for the damage of the stars death. A transition of stars is what killed the show at the time. But both stars were as good as the other, even though at the time I was devastated by Peter Duel's death. I will always wonder why a 31 year old, rising star, on his third series, with all his success would kill himself.
