The 15-minute series was sponsored by Bonded Auto Sales, and was hosted by Don Roper, who was assisted by Evelyn Peterson.
Although broadcast only on a single station, it is notable as an early example of a television game show.
The show returned to the air in 1971, with Dennis James as host, and ran for one season from 1971 to 1972.
In the episode broadcast on 20 November 1947, the names of several viewers who wrote in were plucked out of a bowl, and were each phoned for the answer to a question.
