The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) | ABC Network - Tales of the Gold Monkey - "Cooked Goose" (Complete Broadcast, 3/4/1983) 📺 🐒 @FuzzyMemoriesTV | Uploaded 4 months ago | Updated 15 seconds ago
Here's the complete broadcast of a first-run episode of the short-lived adventure series Tales of the Gold Monkey, "Cooked Goose" (S01E17), as broadcast over the ABC Network via its Chicago outlet, WLS Channel 7.
This program (from the producers of Magnum, P.I.), set in the 1930's - and no doubt "inspired" by "Raiders of the Lost Ark" - starred Stephen Collins as Jake Cutter, ex-fighter pilot turned operator of an air cargo service on the island of "Bora Gora" in the South Pacific; his companions are mechanic Corky (Jeff MacKay), a government spy contact named Sarah Stickney White (Caitlin O'Heaney, later to star in another short-lived series, The Charmings, in 1987-88), and - no doubt the most popular character in the show - a one-eyed Jack Russell terrier named Jack.
Also features Marta DuBois as Princess Koji; John Calvin as "Rev." Willie Tenboom, a Nazi spy; John Fujioka as the Princess' bodyguard, Todo; and Roddy McDowall (of everything fame) as Bon Chance Louie.
In this episode, a clipper pilot honeymooning on the island (and old acquaintance of Jake's) is brutally beaten and his new wife is abducted by mercenaries, and Jake's attempt to find her is complicated by a fire on the Cutter's Goose after Corky passes out while working on it.
