The Alaskans

The Alaskans is a 1959–1960 ABC/Warner Brothers western television series set in the late 1890s in the port of Skagway, Alaska. Roger Moore plays Silky Harris and Jeff York plays Reno McKee, a pair of adventurers intent on swindling travelers bound for the Yukon Territories during the height of the Klondike Gold Rush. Their plans are inevitably complicated by singer Rocky Shaw, an entertainer with a taste for the finer things in life. The show was the first regular work on American television for the British actor Roger Moore.
