A private detective themed show starring Buddy Ebsen as the ageing Barnaby Jones.
A typical Quinn Martin production, at the start of the series Los Angeles based Jones had retired leaving his business in the hands of his son Hal but when Hal is murdered during an investigation Barnaby once more takes an active role.
Hal's wife Betty also became part of the business helping Jones on his cases.
