Bringing the suave, lady-killer private detective format to television, Craig Stevens stars as Peter Gunn. Gunn's leisure time is spent at "Mother's," a jazz nightclub featuring his singer girlfriend Edie. Helping Gunn is his close friend, police lieutenant Jacoby. A great deal of the series' appeal was the music of Henry Mancini, which never failed to deliver an episode's mood and tempo, as well as a chart-topping hit theme.
A gun used in a gangster's murder is found in a teenage Mexican immigrant's possession. The father asks Gunn to clear his son. Joe Besser guest stars as a talent agent, one of Gunn's informants.
Crew: Alan Crosland Jr. (Director), Blake Edwards (Creator, Producer), Gordon Oliver (Executive Producer), Tony Barrett (Writer), William W. Spencer (Cinematographer), Patrick McCormack (Film Editor), Henry Mancini (Music)
