Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles

is an hour-length American television private detective series created
by Roy Huggins and starring Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., Roger Smith, and Edd
Byrnes. The show was the subject of an ownership battle between Roy
Huggins and Warner Brothers, which was the proximate cause of Huggins'
departure from the studio. The series was based on novels and short
stories written by Huggins prior to his arrival at Warners, but, as a
matter of legal record, derived from a brief Caribbean theatrical
release of its pilot, Girl on the Run. The show ran from 1958 to 1964.
