"Tightrope," starring Mike Connors as undercover cop Nick Stone, aired during the 1959-1960 season. This is the original opening and closing to episode #21, "Three To Make Ready," that first aired on February 2, 1960. Jim
ojala alguna televisora venezolana c dedicara x lo menos a dedicarle una temporada a estas series d los años 50 y 60 q su rainting subiria bastante ya q somos mucho mejor dicho demaciados los q añoramos esas series q tienen mejor calidad d prouccion a pesar d la tecnologia d esa epoca ya q n tendrian tanta fantacia
THANKS for posting! Looks like it was an exciting show! I can see why they gave the beefy, hunky & handsome Mike Connors the lead. Gave him some much needed experience which he put to good use later in his long running & highly acclaimed private eye series "Mannix". CHEERS! :-)
Mike Connors actually played a Bond-like character in the little known Dino deLaurentis movie Kiss The Girls And Make Them Die from 1966, a year before he landed his most famous role as Joe Mannix.
At the time cops wore the gun either in a belt holster or a shoulder holster, either of which would be revealed if "patted down" - that "secret gun" saved him countless times.
Incidentally, I always thought that Connors would have made a great James Bond (note that swagger and arched eyebrow on leaving the room)

When I was a kid we would stick our cap guns in the small of the back and play "Tightrope." Thanks for posting.

BTW, Joe Mannix's PI licence is numbered 13 007!
