Description: The one-hour program revolved around two private detectives who had their own detective agency in Los Angeles. E. L. (Early Leroy) "Tenspeed" Turner is a hustler who worked as a private detective to satisfy his parole requirements. His partner Lionel "Brownshoe" Whitney is an archetypal accountant, complete with button-down collars and a nagging fiancee, who had always wanted to be a 1940s-style Bogart private investigator.
