Series summary:

Pat Novak, for Hire, is an old-time radio detective drama series which originally aired from 1946-1948, and revived in 1949. It started as a West Coast regional produced at KGO in San Francisco program. This regional version originally starred Jack Webb in the title role, with scripts by his roommate Richard L. Breen. When Webb and Breen moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles, Webb was replaced by Ben Morris, and Breen by Gil Doud. Meanwhile in LA, Webb and Breen, joined by Director William P. Rousseau, would work on an extremely similar nationwide series, Johnny Madero, Pier 23, for the Mutual network. Webb would then star in Jeff Regan, Investigator until December, 1948. By 1949, a year after the end of the San Francisco run, Jack Webb resumed the Novak role, and Breen his duties as scriptwriter, this time for a national audience on ABC.

Pat Novak, for Hire is set on the San Francisco, California waterfront and depicts the city Pat Novak knows it - a dark, rough place where the main goal is survival. Pat Novak is not a detective by trade. He owns a boat shop on Pier 19 where he rents out boats and does odd jobs to make money.
