The program was based on a series of Saturday
Evening Post stories by Everett Rhodes Castle
and was broadcast live. Retired, witty, dapper,
Colonel Humphrey Flack and his partner in crime
Uthas P. Garvey, also known as Patsy, teamed up
to play modern-day Robin Hoods around the world.
Conning the con men wherever they found them,
the two men change their clever tactics as often
as they change locales, giving their proceeds
to the needy, and retaining a percentage for
themselves, of course, to "cover expenses."
The show ran through several aliases: "Colonel
Humphrey Flack," "Fabulous Fraud," and "The
Impostor." In 1958 the series was filmed
for first-run syndication.
