“Destruction… Death… Fire… Robbery… all these result in insurance claims.
Once in a while, some joker comes along with an attempt to defraud.
By any other name, they are still The Cheaters. That’s where I come in.”

Oscar-nominated actor John Ireland gives a laid back, drily humorous performance as dogged insurance investigator John Hunter in this classic series. Hunter is partnered by his boss, Walter Allen, with whom he shares a humorous chemistry. His cases take Hunter to all kinds of places, from London’s docks and East End to Russia, Switzerland, Zanzibar and more. Filmed in and around London in the early 60s, a city populated by murderous pensioners, devious spouses, double-crossing crooks and opportunistic thieves.
