The Adventure of the Black Falcon I swear to you, Ellery, if he tries to bust open my case I'll detain him on his own lousy broadcast. Simon arrives at a restaurant where he will give a live-remote broadcast
of his show and reveal his results of a murder investigation. To that end,
he's invited the Queens so that he might gloat in person. But before he can
pull it off, a murder is committed in the restaurant. One of the owners is
poisoned by a bottle of wine.

The Adventure of the Sunday Punch A prizefighter is killed while training for a Championship bout and when
guilt points toward his sparring partner Joe Adams, Joe's girlfriend seeks
out Ellery to prove his innocence. The autopsy discovers death due to
poison, but who could have done it? Was it the fiancée that he abused? Her
father, the fight doctor? The mobster who needed him to take a dive? His
manager who was being muscled? Directed by Seymour Robbie
The Adventure of the Eccentric Engineer "Son, when it comes to women you'd better leave character analysis to your old man"
The Adventure of the Wary Witness One of the most serious episodes of the series, and one of
the best. Can Ellery help the accused murderer of mobster Nick Danello find
a missing witness who can prove his innocence? Ellery feels obligated and
more emotionally involved than in other cases, as the defendant is his old
college buddy, Lin Hagen. But things don't seem to be adding up. The missing
witness (a mysterious woman in a green dress) has left her fingerprints
nowhere in the apartment. And her description could match most of the women
in New York. Production: Richard Levinson, William Link, Peter S.

has been stabbed. Learning of this, Simon shares with Ellery the events of the day in
