WESTERN TELEVISION ( approx 90 minutes) Volume: ONE

SKY KING - One of the most fondly remembered adventure shows of the 1950's (and made by the same team responsible for The Lone Ranger), SKY KING--all about rancher Sky King (Kirby Grant) and his twin engine Cesna "The Songbird"--holds up remarkably well. In "The Porcelain Lion," a wealthy art dealer arranges for a pilot to fake the crash of his plane, in order to steal a valuable art object, and murders the pilot. But Sky King's niece Penny (Gloria Winters) and his nephew Clipper (Ron Hagerty) find the wreck and the body, and King and the Sheriff (Bert Freed) suspect foul play. Sky King tries to crack the case by posing as a would-be buyer, but Clipper ends up being held at gunpoint by the thieves as they make their getaway.
                YANCY DERRINGER - Jock Mahoney stars as a playboy with a strong sense of justice in post-Civil War New Orleans. This was one of the finest half-hour action series of the 1950's. This episode concerns an attempt by a pair of investors (Robert Lowery, John Stephenson) to buy up the shops adjoining the waterfront--but each store owner turns up dead after selling out, their money gone. Derringer takes this personally when one of his best friends becomes a target of the pair. The action is nicely paced in this series, with excellent performances all around, including Kevin Hagen as city administrator John Colton and, best of all, X Brands as Derringer's silent Native American companion Pahoo Ka-Ta-Wah. SKY KING comes complete with the show's original opening and closing plugs for Nabisco ("Reach For Nabisco"). In the third show of Annie Oakley, “Grubstake Bank”, everyone in Diablo is happy when an old prospector finally strikes gold.. He plans to open a bank for other prospectors. Annie is suspicious when a stranger arrives and pays undue attention to the old man.
