The DuMont Network bought the nine filmed episodes and produced four more episodes in 1952.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEddie Drake was your typical hardboiled PI of the time, from his attitude to his roving eye for anything in a skirt. Eddie shared the details of his cases with beautiful Dr. Karen Gayle, perhaps televisionÍs first psychologist. She was writing a book about criminal behavior and wanted the point of view of a hardboiled PI. After nine episodes, Dr. Joan Wright replaced Dr. Gayle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe series stars Don Haggerty as Eddie Drake, a private eye from New York, and (in the DuMont episodes) Patricia Morison as Karen, his assistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBECAUSE MOST OF THE ORIGINAL DUMONT NETWORK FILMS WERE DESTROYED IN THE 1970's - ONLY TWO EPISODES OF THIS SHOW ARE KNOWN TO STILL EXIST.
