Colonel March of Scotland Yard
Boris
Karloff played one-eyed detective Colonel March, who operated
out of D-3; Scotland Yard's department for
"unsolvable" cases.
March's investigations invariably brought him into contact
with the unnatural, the supernatural, and the seemingly
impossible in such cases as The Abominable Snowman, The
Sorcerer, The Invisible Knife and The Second Mona Lisa.
The series was based on a collection of short stories
by Carter Dickson (John Dickson Carr) which were first published
in 1940 under the title The Department of Queer Complaints.
Three episodes were edited together to make a feature film, Colonel
March Investigates (1953).
