This Episode: Richard Diamond is framed with diamonds, stolen from the Police Commissioner! The headlines in the paper that morning reported that the police commissioner’s house was robbed of $50,000 worth of diamonds last night and his gardener was murdered. Later Mr Burton calls upon Richard Diamond and pays him $500 to deliver a package of important papers to Philadelphia. Diamond suspects that someone is trying to frame him for the diamond heist.
Richard Diamond, Private Detective came to NBC in 1949. Diamond was a slick, sophisticated detective, with a sharp tongue for folks who needed it. Diamond enjoyed the detective life, but not as much as entertaining his girl, Helen Asher. After each show, he would croon a number to his Park Avenue sweetheart. Mr. Powell, a former song and dance man, was perfect for the role. He added an extra dimension to the 40's hokey private eye drama.
