Acapulco bay
Plot
Ralph Taeger and James Coburn starred as Korean War veterans who, tired of life in the States, take up residence in southern Mexico as beachcombers. Each episode relates their experiences helping people in distress. They often worked for Mr. Carver (Savalas), protecting him from enemies he made during his career as a criminal lawyer.
Background
Taeger and Coburn were starring in Klondike, another Ziv Television/NBC series, when it was cancelled after 17 episodes. In order to fulfill Ziv's contract with the network, they were recast in Acapulco, which premiered two weeks later in the same time slot as Klondike (Mondays at 9:00 PM). The new show lasted for only eight episodes.
