Ralph Byrd, the actor who portrayed Dick Tracy in Republic serials of the 1930s and RKO features in the 1940s, again brought Chester Gould's comic strip hero to life in this rarely seen television program which ran on ABC from 1950 to 1952. UnIike previous adaptations, the TV series featured many of the coIorfuI characters from Gould's strip, including FIattop, BB-Eyes, Influence, B.O. PIenty and Gravel Gertie.
