Tightrope! 1959 - 1960

The television version, produced and filmed at Tightrope! is an American crime drama series that aired from September 1959 to September 1960.

The series stars Mike Connors as an undercover agent named "Nick" who was assigned to
infiltrate criminal gangs. The show was originally to have been titled Undercover Man, but it was
changed before going to air.

Mike Connors' character would narrate the episode, echoing film noir technique. He starred as an
undercover police officer, known only as "Nick" (although some sources revealed that his last
name was "Stone", his last name was never shown in the series' ending credits). Only his immediate
superior on the police force knew he was working undercover. Because the police often did not
know that Nick was working for the law, he was often in danger from both the good guys and the
bad guys, as he walked the "tightrope" between good and evil. A special gimmick was that in
addition to a gun in a shoulder holster, he carried a second gun, a snubnosed revolver, in a
holster behind his back; he was often searched by both cops and bad guys, but they stopped
searching after finding the first gun.
