Abbott Mysteries is a comedy-mystery radio program adapted from the novels of Frances Crane[1] (1896-1981).

Initially a summer replacement for Quick As a Flash, the series was heard on Mutual and NBC between the years 1945 and 1955.

Julie Stevens and Charles Webster starred as Jean and Pat Abbott, a San Francisco married couple "who were habitually involved in various sorts of mayhem and in solving murders.

"[3] In the supporting cast were Jean Ellyn, Sydney Slon and Luis van Rooten.

The Abbotts on NBC were copied exactly in Mutual's It's A Crime, Mr. Collins, including paraphrasing (the original author's) words.
