A short lived radio series about Chris Casanova, a modern-day descendent of you-know-who, who works as a sort of globetrotting policeman. The lead role is ideally played by Errol Flynn – indeed, according to the end credits, the series was Flynn’s idea; this may also explain why the story for the episode I listened to (one of only two surviving, apparently) is set in Jamaica.
It revolves around the search for an old piece of treasure; Errol romances a married lady and gets up to some mild-derring do.
It’s quite entertaining and Errol has a good voice for radio; I wonder if he ever tried to get this up as a tv series because it would have made an ideal one. (The end credits say the show is courtesy of MGM – maybe it was an MGM project, or Errol had to get permission from that studio under his short-term contract with them.)
