Premise

David Ross was an ex-convict, who spent six years in prison for a murder he did not commit, then became a private investigator in Los Angeles. Though he received a governor's pardon, he is constantly harassed by police partly for his alleged past crime and partly because he is a private eye. He only resorts to violence when forced to, and his carry pistol is a tiny .25-caliber semi-automatic. Many of his cases involve eccentric Hollywood or Southern California types, with whom he copes in a bemused fashion.
