This is a syndicated mystery-adventure radio series, that was produced and syndicated by Teleways. Later, the series was syndicated by Charles Michelson. Starting in 1946, these dramas were built around searches for missing heirs and unusual bequests of the deceased. Almost as strange as the wills, after twenty six programs, Michelson started syndicating an Australian series of the same name and format, produced by Grace Gibson Radio Productions. For the first twenty-six weeks of the series, well known radio actors played the roles, then the program switched to imported programs from Australia, with unknown casts. Warren William is the host as John Francis O'Connell. Del Castillo provides the organ music. Amparo Iturbi provided piano music. Albert Ulrich is the director.
