SYNOPSIS

When he was in Italy shortly after the end of World War II, John Woodruff was almost pick-pocketed by a very young street hood named Tony. Years later, a fully grown Tony arrived in America to join John as half of a private-investigation team.

Professor Woodruff, whose academic career in criminology had given him the ability to analyze the most obscure clues to resolve cases, needed Tony to do his legwork and handle the physical side of the business.

As they traveled around the country on assignments, the contrast between Woodruff's conservative, analytical approach and Tony's carefree spirit provided a very productive relationship.
