This is the oldest TV series for which a basically complete run exists. It usually aired as part of a larger program. Often, the 17 minute episodes aired with panel show segments in which the panel tried to correctly guess the murderer. A single kinescope of how the program was presented exists at the Chicago Museum of Broadcast Communications.

As far as the content goes, it is a fairly enjoyable early crime series, reasonably amusing.
