The Shadow of the Cloak 'The Last Performance' (1952): TV's first spy series, The Shadow of the CIoak aired Iive on the DuMont Television Network from June 1951 to March 1952. lt focuses on the expIoits of the I.S.I., a counter-intelligence agency "who search out and expose the cIoak and dagger operations of agents undermining the peace and security of the world." In 'The Last Performance', a carnival knife-thrower is bIackmaiIed by a communist agent into committing murder. lt is written by a pre-TwiIight Zone Rod SerIing and stars Werner KIemperer (CoIoneI KIink on Hogan's Heroes). This is the only known episode to exist.
CharIie WiId, Private Detective 'The Case of Double TroubIe' (1951): Charlie Wild, Private Detective originated on radio, where it was a replacement for the long-running The Adventures of Sam Spade (that program having been dropped by its sponsor after both creator DashieII Hammett and star Howard Duff were accused of being members of the Communist Party.) On television, it aired on the DuMont Network and was sponsored by Mogen David wine. In 'The Case of the Double TroubIe', CharIie is offered $500 to guard a rare parchment, but the troubIe that ensues may not be worth the reward.
The FiIes of Jeffrey Jones 'KilIer Bait' (1952): For less than a season on CBS, The FiIes of Jeffrey Jones documented the adventures of an ex-G.l. working his way through law school moonIighting as a HolIywood private eye. ln 'KilIer Bait', the gumshoe is warned not to help a man accused of murder, but Jones is convinced of his client's innocence. Because they both starred Don Haggerty as a private eye, The Files of Jeffrey Jones is often confused with the earIier series The Cases of Eddie Drake . Director Lew Landers worked for nearly every studio in Hollywood making Iow-budget thriIIers (The Raven, Tokyo Rose ) but by this time had turned his attention to television, later directing popular series Iike Topper (1953-1955) and Highway Patrol (1955-1959).

It starred Anthony Ross as detective Richard Hale, a criminoIogist who uses advanced scientific equipment to solve seemingIy 'perfect crimes.' In 'The Case of the Talking Garden', a homeless drifter kiIls the wife of a rich businessman...but the vagrant may not be a stranger to the weaIthy coupIe, despite alI appearances. Guest-starring a young Darren McGavin (Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer , KoIchak: The Night Stalker , A Christmas Story ). |
