Banacek

Peppard played Thomas Banacek, a suave, Polish-American freelance investigator based in Boston, who solved seemingly impossible thefts (see locked room mystery). He then collected from the insurance companies 10% of the insured value of the recovered property. One of Banacek's verbal signatures was the quotation of strangely worded yet curiously cogent "Polish" proverbs. -- Wikipedia

Moitié américain, moitié polonais, Thomas Banacek travaille comme agent indépendant au service de la compagnie d'assurance Boston Insurance Company. Mis en concurrence avec d'autres experts, cet enquêteur à l'humour ravageur doit retrouver des objets volés et les auteurs de ces vols.

Tom Banacek (George Peppard) es un investigador de seguros de origen polaco que trabaja para las compañías de Boston, obteniendo las múltiples recompensas que las aseguradoras ofrecen para todo aquel que solucione casos de robos de valiosas piezas: joyas, obras de arte, etc. El inteligente detective siempre es ayudado por sus amigos: su chófer Jay y un librero llamado Félix.
