Pat Novak For Hire, played by Jack Webb, was a private detective working out of Pier 19, a waterfront office in San Francisco. The stories were always very similar: Someone would hire him, (if not a beautiful woman, the job would lead to a beautiful woman) someone would get murdered, he would investigate the case, get beaten up by the thugs, and then the case would be solved and end with glorious violence. The closing was always the same; the listener would be told who had done what, to whom and why they had done it. Broadcast History: From 1946 to 1949. CAST: Jack Webb, Tudor Owen, John Galbraith, Raymond Burr.  Announcer: George Fenneman.
