Sponsored by Pall Mall cigarettes, the program began on NBC Radio on April 2, 1947. With Lucky Strike cigarettes
sponsoring the last two seasons, it was broadcast until March 23, 1955.[1]

The radio series was top rated, rivaling Bing Crosbys Philco Radio Time.[2]

Produced by Barnard J. Prockter, the shows were scripted by Gail Ingram, Arnold Pearl and Max Ehrlich.
Tom Victor and Harry Ingram directed the series.[1] Gail and Harry Ingram were husband and wife.
[3] The theme was taken from Ein Heldenleben (A Heros Life), a tone poem by Richard Strauss.[1]

Prockter was inspired to create the program after hearing about a man who was freed from a life sentence in jail
by the work of two newspaper reporters in Chicago. Most of the stories in the show dealt with stories about closed cases.
[4] Ross Eaman, in his book, Historical Dictionary of Journalism, wrote that the program was originally intended to honor
reporters ignored by Pulitzer committees ....[5] Jim Cox also cited that plan in his book, Radio Crime Fighters:
More Than 300 Programs from the Golden Age.[6]

Each week the program recognized the reporter who wrote the story on which that episode was based and the newspaper
in which the story appeared. The reporter received $500, was interviewed on the air and was acknowledged in the introduction, as in this example:
