Tales of the Gold Monkey
Created by Donald P. Bellisario
On ABC
A swashbuckling 1930s adventure series built on camaraderie and episodic thrills, where a ragtag crew's weekly escapes are more about charm and spectacle than existential stakes.
In a backwater corner of the South Pacific in 1938, a young American adventurer and his ragtag group of friends become involved in death-defying hi-jinx, transporting people-on-the-run in a well-worn Grumman Goose seaplane.
