Dick Powell is Richard Diamond, private detective, the quick-witted, lighthearted detective. Quite possibly radio's first singing detective, Diamond was always quick with a quip or a sarcastic response. He sang his way through over 150 fast-paced adventures, most of which were written by Blake Edwards before the start of his successful career as a film director.

Everyone, from cutthroat business execs to sparring spouses, from real estate men to showgirls, from lawyers to ex-cons, and from fighters to fortune tellers, come seeking help with cases of kidnapping, blackmail, mysterious packages, and murder.

In these 16 digitally remastered episodes, Diamond takes the case - along with his sweetheart and sidekick, Helen Asher (Frances Robinson). Generally complicating matters, and occasionally passing work along his way, were homicide detectives Lieutenant Walt Levinson (Ed Begley Sr.) and Otis Ludlum (Wilms Herbert).
