Thanks for Sharing this, ChillySunshine! I did figure this one out, early on in the story. But I still loved how the bright and cunning Franklin slowly drove the guilty party to own up to his menacing ways.

Another great story, a mystery, self-serving men with certain views, and a Founding Father of our great country! Enjoyed 5/2/2022.

Ben Franklin, my favorite. My dad used to take me to the Franklin Institute in Philly monthly. What would Franklin think of the idiots running the world nowadays?;

Amusing little tale. At some point in my teens I read a paperback novel titled The Devil and Ben Franklin (or maybe the whole name Benjamin was in the title). In that story Franklin also solved a murder mystery but it's been about 60 years since I read it and I don't remember any details except the murder was somehow contrived to appear as if the devil had done it. I wonder if it's still in print.

500$? At that time you could buy a whole state for that.

Blue pencil for the word ''relationship'' which was just coming into popularity at the time of this production.

Very cute. Depicting Dr. Franklin using a pre-steampunk version of the Ghostbusters' proton packs.

Sadly, the morning "air bath" never really took off. Ben's one real failure in Life.

Franklin was a ghost buster and Lincoln a vampire hunter.

the actors should have used more of the language of the period, felt like we were in current times.

Franklin a hot lover, really what did he do that was so appealing to females. The only thing would be keeping his clothes on, he was not attractive nor did he have a physique( maybe one of a sixty year old out of shape male.) Sam Dann the writer of this story always write women either as stupid, vicious or both. This was an okay story.

I have heard that Franklin was a real ladies man. He was rich, smart, charming, witty and funny. He made them laugh.

He got that reputation when he was on a diplomatic mission at the French court. He sought out women of influence and romanced (perhaps seduced) them to get help for the American revolution. Sorry, I haven't got a link for this; heard it years ago (on NPR I think).

@Nova Phonix Photography hadn't been invented yet and there wasn't a rackfull of slick magazines marketing the images of male and female sexiness we've all been trained to respond to, so people just went with their gut and trusted their own instincts about who was hot. Also this was during the Enlightenment when a brilliant and intellectually accomplished man or woman was liable to turn a lot of people on.

@Nova Phonix, “always” doesn’t allow for shades of gray or the opposite being true. Actually the female lead here was portrayed as intelligent and anything but vicious. So much for your sweeping generalization which simply isn’t true. So harshly judgemental, tsk tsk.
