8/10
Best screen adaption of the radio program is also one of the best B movie mysteries

Warning: Spoilers
First of the three films based on the Carlton E Morse radio program is the best of the series and a great little mystery too boot. The plot of the film has Jack and Doc helping Jefferson Monk who appears to have run afoul of a weird cult that is out to kill him and take his head. Jack and Doc wade into the mess with typical aplomb and it isn't long before there are complications and bodies. The closest to the radio series because its based upon a fourth season story. Its clear that the series, had it remained on this course and either brought Morse's stories to the the screen or attempted to approximate them, could have and would have been one of the best B-movie series ever produced. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a really good mystery.
