Bring 'em Back Alive was an American adventure show that was loosely based on the real life character of Frank Buck, a big game trapper living in Singapore.  The show featured Buck's adventures while trapping big game to bring back and sell to zoos and circuses all over the world.

Bring 'em Back Alive attempted to capture the popularity of 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' which was a hit at the time.  In reality, Frank Buck had written a book in the 1930's of the same name as the show , and starred in several movies and serials of the time based on his work.
