Quite possibly radio's first singing detective, Richard Diamond was delightfully unpredictable - as much inclined to shoot off his mouth in a tight spot as he was to shoot off his gun. He could take more than his share of punishment from goons and gunsels without having his sense of humor take a beating. Tailor made for screen legend Dick Powell, the sleuth sang his way through scores of fast paced adventures, most of which were written by Blake Edwards. Diamond was flirtatious with female clients, but always remained true to his lady love -- his socialite sweetheart and side-kick, Helen Asher (played by Frances Robinson and Virginia Gregg). Generally complicating matters, and occasionally passing work along his way, were homicide detectives Lt. Walt Levinson (alternately played by Ed Begley, Ted de Corsia, and Arthur Q. Bryan) and Otis Ludlum (Wilms Herbert).
