DadTV’s Clip of the Day: ’Mickey Spillane’s Mike Hammer’ S01e01 “24 Karat Dead“ (1984)

In this episode, after being swindled out of their life savings, an elderly couple hire Mike to go after a fraudulent gold investment company. Recurring characters in this episode include ’Ozzie the Answer,’ Phillie Brock, Jenny the Barmaid, and Detective Hennessey. Guest stars include Tracy Scoggins as Claire DeVoe, Tom Hallick as Justin Heard, Barbara Stock as Lenore Wiggin, and Maria Heasley. NOTE: This is the FIRST episode AFTER the premiere of the 2-part TV movie (back-door pilot) “More Than Murder.“ Again, this is a RE-Post. This is for entertainment purposes only -- I had no involvement in the Mike Hammer show or of creating this episode. I found this gem while searching for all things pertaining to Mike Hammer. And what better way to start off our inaugural ’Mike Hammer’ segment than by posting the first episode (other than the TV movie pilot) to one of the 1980’s best crime shows on T.V. “Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use“ for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
