Crime and Peter Chambers. Created by Henry Kane, transcribed and starring Dane Clark. Private investigator, duly licensed and duly sworn, Peter Chambers. You're a private eye. That's your business. Anything else? That's for laughs. No laughs now because you're working on a case and the case happens to involve a little matter of murder. And there ain't no laughs in murder, despite the Broadway playwrights in Arsenic and Old Lace. There just ain't no laughs and murder know-how…

Synopsis

In Crime and Peter Chambers, private investigator Peter Chambers finds himself embroiled in a murder case that could cost an insurance company a fortune. Frank Reed, a prominent doll manufacturer, has been shot dead in his office just after a scheduled meeting with his partner, Viola Carson. Chambers is brought in to investigate, as the insurance policy Reed took out only days prior could lead to a significant payout if the death is ruled accidental. With a potential $300,000 at stake, the pressure is on for Chambers to uncover the truth.
