ADD NOTES
- 2nd pilot for the TV series, re-introduces Tony Franciosa as investigative reporter Jeff Dillon, and Susan St. James as research assistant Peggy, and introduces for the first time Gene Barry as publisher Glen Howard. This pilot runs a bit longer than subsequent episodes clocking in at 77 minutes. This episode introduces the jazzy, pulsating theme song. Edit

- Howard: Come on, I don't get around that much. Dillon: Oh, sure, Glenn. Everybody knows what a steady character you are. Faithful for the last 20 years to the same dozen women. Edit
