Our third installment of Dick Tracy Week is an episode of the 1950 Dick Tracy TV series, "Shaky's Secret Treasure."
The series starred Ralph Byrd as Tracy, and was considered the definitive Tracy at the time. Byrd had starred in the role in two previous movie serials and two of the four feature-length films of the 40s. When Byrd died unexpectedly during this series' run, the producers decided to cancel the series rather than recast the role because they didn't believe the public would accept anyone else but Byrd in the role.
Enjoy!
