Starring Jack Webb and Frank Graham (12 half-hour episodes / 6 hours via digital download)

Jeff Regan was one of three detectives Jack Webb portrayed on radio before hitting it big as Sgt. Joe Friday on “Dragnet.” The other two were Pat Novak and Johnny Modero. “Jeff Regan, Investigator” came to CBS radio July 10th, 1948. Jeff Regan was a tough private eye working for a detective agency run by Anthony J. Lyon. Regan introduced himself on each show with “I get ten a day and expenses. They call me the Lyon’s Eye.” Lyon (portrayed by Wilms Herbert) ran the International Detective Bureau, a small private investigations firm in downtown Los Angeles, with often oversized ambitions. Regan handled rough assignments from Lyon, with whom he was not always on good terms. Webb played Regan as tough, tenacious, and with a dry sense of humor. When Webb left the series in December 1948, the series ended but it was resurrected in October 1949 with a new cast. Frank Graham starred as Jeff Regan and Frank Nelson portrayed his boss Anthony J. Lyon. This version lasted until August of 1950. Enjoy 12 episodes from this terrific hard-boiled detective series. The first four episodes star Jack Webb and the remaining eight star Frank Graham.
