Frank Sinatra starred as Rocky Fortune, a footloose and fancy free private detective. NBC put the show on as a "sustaining" series, meaning they didn't have a particular sponsor but produced the show at the network's expense. There were only 25 episodes altogether. This is the first and sets the tone for an enjoyable show. Frank played this part his way (excuse the pun) and it was the perfect amount of over the top.
