Featured review
Two marquee names
If memory serves Edd Byrnes was on self imposed hiatus from the series on a contract dispute. So he was out for many episodes the latter part of the second season. In this story parking cars and assisting Bailey&Spencer is future Warner Brothers star Troy Donahue.
The client in this story is teenage novelist Tuesday Weld who still gets carded but has written a best seller. Her guardian is her aunt Andrea King. Weld wants a private eye to investigate some ghostly sightings, but Efrem Zimbalist doesn't believe in ghosts. And he certainly doesn't believe that ghosts are trying to kill Ms. Weld.
Others who could be are David Cross, a most protective former mechanic of a race car driver who was involved with Weld, aging lounge singer Robert Lowery and his wife Jeanne Bates. Lowery has a taste for pretty young things he can sponge off for his gambling debts. One of the cast winds up really dead and then it's LAPD's bailiwick.
I'm never ceasing being amazed at how when Bailey or Spencer calls in a homicide Lt. Byron Keith is there and how they work together. Usually when a PI calls in a homicide on the big or small screen they get a police grilling. Just ask Humphrey Bogart.
Seeing both Troy and Tuesday on the screen together is interesting enough. Both would be marquee names very shortly.
