Alias Smith and Jones is a Western television series on ABC from 1971 to 1973. It starred Pete Duel as Hannibal Heyes and Ben Murphy as Kid Curry, a pair of Western outlaws trying to reform.

When Duel died suddenly on December 31, 1971 (reportedly of a self-inflicted gunshot), an attempt was made to continue the series with another actor, Roger Davis, in the role of Heyes. The series continued for another seventeen episodes, but never regained its popularity after the loss of Duel. Davis first voiced the intro theme, which explained the storyline. When he was hired to play Heyes/Smith, Ralph Story assumed the intro narration. In the final season the intro referred to Heyes and Curry as "Kansas cousins". Two episodes that season also made reference to them as cousins.

Alias Smith and Jones began with a made-for-TV movie of the previous year called The Young Country, about con artists in the Old West. It was produced, written and directed by Roy Huggins, who served as executive producer of AS&J and, under the pseudonym of John Thomas James, at least shared the writing credit on most episodes. Roger Davis starred as Stephen Foster Moody, and Pete Duel had the secondary but significant role of Honest John Smith, while Joan Hackett played a character called Clementine Hale, the same name as a part played on two AS&J episodes by Sally Field. This pilot was rejected, but Huggins was given a second chance and, joined by Glen A. Larson, developed Alias Smith and Jones. Both The Young Country and the series pilot movie originally aired as ABC Movie of the Week entries.

Alias Smith and Jones was made in the same spirit as many other American TV series, from Huggins' own The Fugitive to Renegade, about men on the run crisscrossing America and getting involved in the personal lives of the people they meet. One major difference was that Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry were guilty of the crimes that they were accused of committing, but were trying to turn over a new leaf.

The series was inspired by the success of the 1969 film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford. There were a number of connecting themes: one of the heroes was named Kid Curry which was also the nickname of Harvey Logan, an associate of the real Butch Cassidy (unlike the TV version however, the real Kid Curry was a cold-blooded killer).

The series also featured a group of outlaws called the Devil's Hole Gang which was based on the Hole in the Wall Gang from where Cassidy recruited most of his outlaws.

However, in order to give them an element of sympathy, Heyes and Curry were presented as men who avoided bloodshed (though Curry did once kill in self-defense) and trying to reform.

Operating primarily in Wyoming Territory, Hannibal Heyes and Kid Curry are the two most successful outlaws in the history of the west. However, the west is starting to catch up with the modern world: safes are becoming harder to crack, trains more difficult to stop, and posses more skilled at tracking them down.

Heyes, the leader of the Devil's Hole Gang, falls out with the other members and he and Curry decide to "get out of this business". Since they have never killed anyone, they qualify for pardons. Through an old acquaintance, Sheriff Lom Trevors (James Drury in the pilot, variably by Mike Road and John Russell in the series, due to the sporadic nature of the character's appearances), they manage to contact the territorial governor. He agrees to grant them amnesty, but cannot do so openly without angering the public. He therefore makes a deal with them: if they can stay out of trouble for a considerable but unspecified period of time ("until the governor feels we deserve it") and not tell anyone about their arrangement, they will be cleared of all charges. Until then, they will still be wanted ("That's a good deal?").

However, the straight and narrow path is not easily traveled. Heyes and Curry (now calling themselves Joshua Smith and Thaddeus Jones) often find themselves tangling with lawmen, bounty hunters and operatives of the Bannerman Detective Agency (a satire of the Pinkerton National Detective Agency), not to mention other outlaws. To get out of these sticky situations, they must rely on Heyes' silver tongue, Curry's fast draw, and occasionally a little help from their friends from both sides of the law.

It is often the crisis job, or the boss calling for manifold copies, that rapidly shows that there are no standby ink restocks or toner refill in the building. When this happens, all anguish can destroy droopy and people found to panic as to where these goods can be found. Alias Smith and Jones complete dvd box set series on DVDs It may be excel for the workforce director to shield one or two spares all-around so that nothing like this happens again. Although these accoutrements are there in profusion, they make sure of take care of to be on the high-priced segment. These existence, there are ways of replenishing the fluids by putting a weakness in the cartridge and doing it every stretch it desires it.

The chemicals used for this kind of process are not that expensive and many offices would now desire to have some bottles around the place for enduring use more readily than having to by the bring to an end videotape every time. Alias Smith and Jones This goes a long way to custody the land mop too since these cartridges often tip up in soil refills. They take witho. ut end to time out nominated and, considering how many gallons of fuel product it takes to make just one, this is just a very expensive and stain way to make anything at all. Multiply it by all the machinery that used these products and one can visit how major the conundrum is right.

One should have down pat all the same not to mix up the black cartridge with the blush cartridge since the process will without doubt not work. Indeed, these cartridges will have to be disposed of in the long run as they have a computer token in them which wears on view when some time. However, the kits come finished with a small drilling tool to make the outlet, and something to prevent the hollow time was the fluid is in making this a very easy process all through. Since many kids these days have to bring into being training on word processors, they usually management up an unwarranted amount of manuscript etc by producing copies with mistakes on them. Teaching them to motif only when they are definitely .

guaranteed that there is to be no other alterations is a well-behaved mania. Add to this then the cartridges discussed before and the line should preclude a full-size amount on their printing bills in the long function. Although many works will not contemplate of these kinds of methods to resuscitate money, those office managers who commence it will certainly get noticed. All these peripherals are solely expenses in addition to once the expenses are on sale, the profit margin is better. Some companies also perimeter the amount of copies that each characteristic administrative area can give off so having this kind of method in tragedy means that they can get more copies out for the same budget.

Of pattern, this helps everyone in the end up since even photocopiers can use a analogous system to bail out money.
