This police procedural was hosted by Charles Bickford
telling us the story was "based upon actual police files";
Don Haggerty, B-film and early Syndicated TV star, was
the police detective in several episodes.
Credited composers: Raoul Kraushaar (ASCAP), and
Melvyn Lenard Gordon (ASCAP)
[pseudonym of David Gordon]
[although band arrangement & early credits were given to music
packager Raoul Kraushaar, and to Melvyn Lenard, pseudonym of
publisher David Gordon, the arrangement credit on the band
arrangement was given to Lucien Calliet, who may have been
a "ghost" composer.
Contributor T. Perrone has discovered the origin of this march
was the "B" theme of the Main Title of "Arson, Inc." -- a 1949
B-Film noir, which Raoul Kraushaar is credited with composing.
It is identical to the recording of the march used on television,
which begins with a rough cut into the melody.]
