Based on Craig Riceâs (a
female crime novelist who rivaled Agatha Christie in book sales) novels of
crime drama, Frank Lovejoy (and later Gene Raymond and George Petrie) plays
âfictionâs most famous criminal lawyer,â John J. Malone. Mr. Malone is our
amazing hero, a Chicago lawyer whose bar is more famous than Cheers. His hobby
is collecting clichÃs, and each weeks show is based off of one: cleanliness is
next to Godliness, a strong offense is the best defense, seek and ye shall
find, and so on. Stories are gripping, from tales of Chicagoâs biggest operator
who runs a nightclub and his right hand man, to a man looking for trouble in a
hotel and finds it in room 419, to a story of a man who owns the most luscious
gambling joint this side of Vegas. So brush up on your one liners, and grab
your gun, because youâll want to tune in for this exciting half hour of
mystery!
