Premise: After starting as a straight dramatic show in TV's infancy,
Armstrong Circle Theater developed its semi-documentary format six years ago,
has since covered every sort of theme. from Lizzie Borden to Hurricane Diane.
Sometimes hinged to news events; the sinking of the Andrea Doria, the 1959 discovery
of the B-24 that was lost in the Libyan desert during World War II; the program
has also treated myriad socio-psychological problems, from parole to suicide, gambling,
divorce, and legal and illegal adoption of babies. But most of all, it fingers every
sort of crook; stock market swindlers, antique swindlers, smugglers, moonshiners,
forgers; and tells how they operate, in fascinating documented detail.
