Hearse On The Highway (Aired July 11, 1948)

This is a short-lived series for true fans of I Love A Mystery and Adventures By Morse. It serves as something of a bridge between the eras that the longer series' cover. Morse accomplishes this with a plausible back story and a somewhat implausible artifice to reunite the members of the A-1 Detective Agency after their dispersal during World War II. The story line for I Love Adventure resumes, appropriately enough, in post-World War II London where the top secret non-governmental agency known only as The 21 Old Men of 10 Gramercy Park, whose mission is to fight all enemies of international peace. Jack Packard [Michael Raffetto] was recruited by the 21 Old Men to lead a select group on assignments circling the globe. Packard never meets the 21 Old Men face to face. His assignments were given to him from behind a 20-foot by 40-foot, two-way mirror at 10 Gramercy Park, usually from a single spokeman for the 21 Old Men [Everett Glass].  Show Notes From The Digital Deli.
