It's a Crime, Mr. Collins

The Case of the Pink Elephant

by

It's a Crime, Mr. Collins is a radio mystery series centered on private investigator Mr. Collins, whose cases bring him into contact with crime, deception, and the people caught up in them. The title's dry, conversational wit hints at a detective story with a lighter touch than a grim police procedural.

Each installment presents a self-contained case, using dialogue and sound to unfold its clues and complications. The episode title, “The Case of the Pink Elephant,” suggests an unusual mystery, while the series format invites listeners to follow Collins as he works through the evidence and reaches a solution.

The appeal lies in the blend of classic radio suspense and an approachable detective lead. With its compact mystery format and wry tone, the program offers an easy entry into a world of puzzling cases and old-fashioned sleuthing.
