A sister-show of sorts to ''PeterGunn'', since they were both created by Blake Edwards and shared many [[ProductionPosse key personnel]], including composer Music/HenryMancini. Based on the story ''Bundles for Freedom'' by Milton Holmes. (That story was also the basis of a 1943 motion picture with which this show shares its name but little else.)
