The Devil's Hole Gang roamed the Old West in the
later half of the nineteenth century. It members
included Wheat (Earl Holliman), Lobo (Read
Morgan), Kyle (Dennis Fimple) Hannibal Heyes
(Peter Deuel/Roger Davis) and Jed "Kid" Curry
(Ben Murphy).
One day, however, Heyes and Curry decided they
wanted to go straight and so they struck a deal
with the territorial governor. If they stayed
out of trouble they would be pardoned but only
the Governor knew about the deal. Until then
they would still be wanted by the law.
Kid Curry and
Hannibal Hayes
In their new life they took on the alias of
Joshua Smith (Hannibal) and Thaddeus Jones
(Curry) and made the best of things until their
pardon came.
Throughout the series they were chased by
posses, bounty hunters and their old gang
members who tried to entice them back into the
fold.

[Kid Curry and Hannibal
Heyes escaping from a posse] |
|
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 Kansas cousins very popular
with everyone but the railroads and the
banks. |
|
Kid Curry: |
[Posse in
hot pursuit] There's one thing we've got
to get, Heyes. |
|
Hannibal Heyes: |
What's
that?" |
|
Kid Curry: |
Out of
this business! |
|
Governor's Assistant: |
The
Governor can't come flat out and give you
amnesty now. First you've got to prove you
deserve it. |
|
Hannibal Heyes: |
So all
we've got to do is stay out of trouble
until the Governor figures we deserve
amnesty? |
|
Kid Curry: |
But in
the meantime we'll still be wanted? |
|
Governor's Assistant: |
Well
that's true. Til then only you, me and the
Governor will know about it. It'll be our
secret. |
|
Hannibal Heyes: |
Hah,
that's a good deal? |
|
Kid Curry: |
[Escaping
from a posse] I sure wish the governor
would let more people in on our secret. |
