Carlton E. Morse graced the airwaves. The main ones remembered are
ONE MAN'S FAMILY, I LOVE A MYSTERY and ADVENTURES BY MORSE.
ADVENTURES BY MORSE related the escapades of Captain Bart Friday and
Skip Turner, two San Francisco private investigators. Friday was a
no-nonsense type, raised in the California. Turner was quite a bit
the lady's man, complete with a laconic Southern accent. Their
occasional work for U.S. Military Intelligence takes them around the
globe.
The series consisted of eight serials that ran from October 26, 1944
to October 18, 1945. The first serial, "City of the Dead", consisted
of 10 episodes. The second serial was done in 3 episodes. The
remainder of the series alternated between 10 and 3 30-minute
episodes.
The adventures cover the world as well as the world of adventure.
They take place on a South Pacific island, South America, Cambodia
and South Carolina plus other locations. They deal with murder,
espionage, Nazis secret bases, kidnappers, voodoo and even snake
worshippers. If you're looking for adventure, you'll find it here.
