Edmund Lowe stars as David Chase, a newspaper columnist solving mysteries with his pretty secretary named Eve. In this episode David Chase reads in the paper he has been killed in a car accident. They must solve the riddle of who wants him dead, before the real David Chase REALLY ends up dead. Produced by Jerry Fairbanks using the Multicam system he invented in 1947. This three camera system of filming TV shows is still in use today. Content transferred from our 16mm film print.

I've never seen an episode of this show in such pristine condition- the show, not myself. Many thanks for the upload.

Isn't it amazing how shows like this from the 50s can be so clear & yet stuff from some of the 70s are unwatchable?

The outfits of that Era were so spectacular. I like them a lot.

Jerry Fairbanks, stunt pilot and cinematographer turned producer, had used Multi-Cam with 16mm film since 1947. This DuMont series went out the same year as the premiere of 'I Love Lucy', in which Karl Freund and Desi Arnaz adapted three-camera shooting for sitcom (on 35mm stock) in front of a live audience. They copped most of the credit for innovation. However, 'Amos and Andy', also at CBS, was simultaneously using the technique.

the women back in the 40's, 50, had such class, no weird hair dos, scrap iron hanging from every place. and tattoos that makes them look like a page out of the comic strip.

Never seen or heard of this show before but understandable as I live in the UK and brought up on British crime series in the 1950's. American series didn't really get screened until the Streets of San Francisco and other popular ones like Highway Patrol and the Untouchables. I quite enjoyed this episode. Thanks for the upload and greetings from here in the UK.

This is amusing and a good take on the dead man who comes back to see what others think of him.

Thank you for presenting silent film-pre-code star Edmund Lowe in Front Page Detective from 1951 on DuMont. Nice clear print. Also featuring Dayton Lummis as the gunman in the last segment. He played Graham McNamee, sportscaster, in The Winning Team (1952), starring Ronald Reagan as baseball pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander.

Edmund Lowe, born in 1890, was 61 years old when he played David Chase. Betty Ball (not a stripper name) was prolly in her mid-twenties. Hollywood at the time never had a problem pairing older actors with actresses old enough to be their daughter as their love interest, even tho Ball only appeared in two episodes. Her career in movies only lasted from the early to the mid-Fifties, with only six credits in her IMDB listing, which has no biographical info.
