Barbary Coast

“Humorous adventure series” — The New York Times A secret agent brings law and order to 1880s San Francisco Golden Globe® winner William Shatner ( Star Trek, Boston Legal) is Jeff Cable, an undercover agent patrolling the wild streets of 1880s San Francisco. Filled with casinos and saloons, this bustling slice of post–Gold Rush California runs on corruption, greed, and violence. It’s Agent Cable’s job to crack down on the numerous criminals who have made a home there. Even top public officials can’t be trusted, so Cable weaves elaborate ruses to uncover the Barbary Coast’s many plots. He also relies on the slick but beleaguered Cash Conover (Doug McClure, The Virginian; Dennis Cole [Pilot only]), proprietor of the Golden Gate Casino. Conover reluctantly puts his business and well-being on the line for Cable time and again. The charismatic pair often find the cards stacked against them, but that doesn’t stop them from having a rollicking good time as they police a town mired in vigilante justice. Also starring Richard Kiel ( The Spy Who Loved Me), this Emmy®-nominated series is a playful take on traditional Westerns with a terrific cast.
