I got a DVD of this series with the title "Man Against Crime", but the credits on the episodes are called "Follow That Man". The three episodes on the dollar DVD are Death Takes a Partner, The Day Man, The Doll Bandit.
A very young Martin Balsam shows up complete with a French accent in Death Takes a Partner. It's something about a 6-day bicycle race. The premise of the underhanded bets is confusing, The Doll Bandit features one of those 50's blondes who wanted to be Marilyn Monroe but didn't have the talent.
While there isn't anything outstanding about this series, and Bellamy certainly looks tired - it is the episode called The Day Man that is the most interesting. It features an actor named Kitt Russell in drag as a woman for several scenes, including the climax. Very bizarre! Worth a buck and a real time capsule of television production and techniques of the time.
