Barbary Coast is an American television series that aired on ABC . The pilot film first aired on May 4, 1975, and the series itself premiered September 8, 1975; the last episode aired January 9, 1976. With an 1870s setting, Barbary Coast features the adventures of government agent Jeff Cable (played by William Shatner ), and his pal, conman and gambler Cash ("Cash makes no enemies") Conover ( Doug McClure ; played by Dennis Cole in the pilot) who is the owner of the Golden Gate Casino. The title was taken from the setting, "a square-mile section of San Francisco called the Barbary Coast, a wide-open, rip-roaring district whose inhabitants ranged from flashy ladies to sourdoughs." This was Shatner's first live-action series since Star Trek (also produced by Paramount Television ). Cable and Conover battled against various criminals, and Cable frequently donned disguises in the course of his investigations.
