The New Adventures of China Smith - Dan Duryea - Premiere Episode - The ...


Notes by Bill Russo

This is the first episode of 26 produced for syndicated television in 1952, starring Dan Duryea as a vagabond conman and part time Private Eye in Southeast Asia. A bush pilot is hired to drop a leather bag stuffed with money onto a makeshift cross in a remote field. It is the payroll for a large plantation and the owner says the pilot failed to deliver it - but we see in scene one that the pilot dropped the lot exactly at the proper spot. China Smith (Dan Duryea) decides to investigate the situation.
