Premises
Dennis Chase was a private investigator with an office on 21 Beacon Street, in an unspecified city.[2] Chase was aided by Joanna Barnes as Lola, who was a combination of beauty and brains. She was able to glean information and then act as a decoy. Brian Kelly was Brian, a young law school graduate; and James Maloney played Jim, an expert on dialects, as well as a skilled craftsman.[5]
Chase and his assistants worked to discover who the criminals were, but then notified the police to come and apprehend the law breakers.[2]

The producers of Mission: Impossible were sued for plagiarism by the creators of 21 Beacon Street. The suit was settled out of court. Bruce Geller claimed never to have seen the earlier show; Beacon Street's story editor and pilot scripter, Laurence Heath, would later write several episodes of Mission: Impossible.[6]
