Crime and Peter Chambers was an American old-time radio detective program. It was broadcast on NBC from April 6, 1954, until September 7, 1954. The show starred Dane Clark as Peter Chambers, a fictional private detective created by author Henry Kane. Kane also produced the show and wrote for it. Chambers was based in New York City, and his fee was $500 per day. Unlike many private detectives on radio, Chambers usually coordinated his work with that of the police. In fact, his best friend was police Lieutenant Louis Parker, played by Bill Zuckert. The show's episodes were typically 30 minutes long and featured Chambers investigating a variety of crimes, from murders to robberies to kidnappings. The show was well-received by critics and audiences alike, and it ran for a full season of 30 episodes. Here are some of the show's most notable episodes:
- The Burke Murder Frame (April 6, 1954): Chambers is hired to investigate the murder of a wealthy businessman. The evidence seems to point to Chambers himself, but he is determined to clear his name.
