Series Description:

I LOVE ADVENTURE was a summer replacement series from the pen of
Carlton E. Morse, heard over the ABC Network.   The series was a
revival of the I LOVE A MYSTERY series that first aired on Jan. 16,
1939.

In this series, we follow the exploits of Jack Packard, Doc Long and
Reggie York. These former comrades in adventure in the A-1 Detective
Agency are brought out of retirement when each receives an odd
message from the London-based "Twenty One Old Men of Grammercy Park".

Michael Raffetto played the part of Jack Packard, Barton Yarborough
played Doc Long and Tom Collins played Reggie York.
