Publisher's summary
Radio's longest-running private detective wasn't a smart-mouthed, gun-toting wise guy. He was the gentle, dignified, soft-spoken Mr. Keen. Bennet Kilpack stars as the intelligent investigator in this 16-episode collection.
The "kindly old tracer" didn't get into gunfights with thugs on foggy waterfront nights, he simply solved crimes...with a dogged determination. And he was always accompanied by his dense-but-loyal sidekick Mike Clancy (Jim Kelly). Join them as they uncover secrets and crack cases.
Episodes include: The Case of the Boy Who Used Big Words 02-10-44; The Case of the Leaping Dog 04-13-44; The Case of the Woman in Blue 06-15-44; The Case of the Absent Minded Professor 03-15-45; The Case of the Glamorous Widow 05-23-46; The Case of Murder and the Bloodstained Necklace 09-15-49; The Yellow Talon Murder Case 09-22-49; The Case of Murder with a Thousand Witnesses 09-29-49; The Silver Dagger Murder Case 10-13-49; The Case of the Ruthless Murderers 10-27-49; The Forgotten Cave Murder 11-03-49; The Case of Murder and the Jewel Thief 02-09-50; The Case of the Melody of Murder 03-09-50; The Case of the Murdered Detective 04-06-50; The Eccentric Millionaire Murder Case 04-13-50; The Broken Window Murder Case 05-25-50
