Originally telecast on December 14, 1951 (and repeated on March 9, 1953), for Sterling Drug {makers of Bayer aspirin, Phillips Milk of Magnesia, Molle Brushless shave cream, Double Danderine shampoo, and other fine products}. Verne Smith is the announcer.

Willie Best was one of producer Roland Reed's favorite actors. He was also featured on Stu Erwin's "TROUBLE WITH FATHER" and "MY LITTLE MARGIE" (essentially portraying the same character).

He did appear in a few of them, in small roles.

J. Donald Wilson had previously produced {and directed} "THE NEW ADVENTURES OF NERO WOLFE" for NBC Radio in the 1950-'51 season.

Lester Dorr, the coroner, had a very long career, starting in 1930, until 1975. I've seen him in 8 movies on KZread: (I Wanted Wings (1941), Roar of the Press (1941), Stranger in Town (1943), Destroyer (1943), Roses Are Red(1947), Without Honor (1949), Quicksand (1950), Take the High Ground (1953), and now this TV show (1951). He was one of the original members of SAG, 1933.

Thank you Mr. Best for paving the way 🙏🏾

There are other TV episodes to be found on KZread. However, the issue with finding them is in how the person who shares these writes the Title? The way the Title appears for the episodes looks like this: MYSTER THEATER Starring TOM CONWAY as Inspector Mark Saber HOMICIDE SQUAD It was how I found more than one episode after this. Also; George Sanders and Tom Conway are brothers. Hollywood studio flipped a coin to see which one would change their name.
