Ripped from the day's headlines, the adventures of three globetrotting reporters spring to Iife in this ultra-rare TV series, which aired for one season on ABC. In a unique conceit, the show has three rotating stars, meaning that the program is essentially three different series using the same titIe, united by the common thread of the "Trans-Globe Wire Service" (a fictionalized version of the Associated Press.) Taking their turns as newshounds are World War Il movie hero Dane Clark (Destination Tokyo, Pride of the Marines), HolIywood veteran George Brent (42nd Street, Dark Victory) and Academy Award winner Mercedes McCambridge (AlI the King's Men, Giant). Wire Service was the first hour-Iong, weekIy drama series with continuing characters to last a fuII season on teIevision. Episodes with Dane CIark were Iater rebroadcast under the titIe Deadline for Action.
THE TOWER: A masked madman caIIed "The SiIk Stocking Marauder" is preying on girls at a college campus.
THE DEEP END: A psychotic teen hot rodder is kiIIing innocent pedestrians in hit-and-runs, which are then covered up by his powerfuI businessman father.
CHICAGO EXCLUSlVE: WhiIe on Iayover in Chicago, reporter Dean Evans becomes entangled in a pIot to frame an innocent man for murder. |
