19th-century government agent and master of disguise Jeff Cable operates out of a secret room in a San Francisco casino owned by his best pal Cash Conover. Conover is sort of a dandy, and would rather avoid trouble at all costs, but Cable's persuasiveness coupled with Cash's sense of duty and a weakness for the fairer sex shared by both men usually leads them into dangerous missions.
This was the first Creator/{{Paramount}} Television-produced series to lead into ABC's ''Series/MondayNightFootball'', and it didn't even do so for the entire season. Several other Paramount productions led into ''MNF'' over the years (as part the good relations between ABC and PTV that lasted almost a quarter-century), but only ''[[Series/MacGyver1985 MacGyver]]'' was able to do so for multiple seasons (1986-91). This also marked William Shatner's reunion with PTV 6 years after ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' was canceled.
