William Gargon stars as Barry Craig, confidential investigator. The best time to die folks is in your own good time, but try arguing with a bullet. On national broadcasting company presents, William Gargon, in another transcribed drama of mystery and adventure with America's number one detective, Barry Craig, confidential investigator.
