It’s a perfect, sparkling, turquoise morning on St. Croix, that jewel of an island in the Caribbean. The palms are swaying, the rum is running sweet. But the taste in services director Nola Stewart’s mouth is distinctly sour. Two new guests - the first, quiet, intriguing, the other, loud and obnoxious - have just checked in. Together they’re turning the beach, the pool, and the weekly Pirates’ Feast into a four-alarm food fiasco.

Horatio Black was known to friend and foe as Boston Blackie - an ex-jewel thief and safecracker constantly suspected of crimes he did not commit and forced to play the role of detective to clear his name. His girlfriend, Mary Wesley, assisted Blackie from time to time, as did his pal Shorty. Forced to defend himself against the accusations of New York Police Inspector Faraday, Blackie always managed to stay one step ahead of the cops in solving a crime.

Initially launched as Barrie Crane, Confidential Investigator on NBC in 1951, the series soon made a name change to Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator.

In the summer of 1951, Gargan cleared the decks for his role as Barrie Craig. Gruff, blunt and sardonic but with a good sense of humor, Gargan was perfect for the genre and in the role of Barrie Craig.
