Nothing but Trouble

He asks for nothing but trouble. A writer looking for inspiration for his stories puts an ad in a newspaper. That if you write to him for help no matter the problem, he will help for free. He gets asked for help by both bad and good people. Alan Ladd who was a great actor was great in this show. His character might bot be a Sam Spade or Phillip Marlowe but he gets the job done. He even has a ditzy assistant, and a much put on Police contact. A great show.
