The first episode of the short-lived private eye show, written, directed, and produced by creator Henry Kane. As we open, a beautiful woman ("dame") enters his office and points a gun ("roscoe") at Chambers. She's a bit incoherent but chambers learns enough to know that Bruce Burke is involved. Burke is "a crumb right out of the breadbox. A bum with a couple of million bucks."
For those who appreciate one-liners, and tough, crime solving guys who tend to get beat up and do some beating up in return. and still manage to get the gorgeous babe.
It's an acquired taste, I think. The show ran on NBC from April 6, September 7, 1964. Dane Clark starred.
Enjoy.

A short run! But not a typical of "summer replacement" series then and for most years since.
