Story:

• A college professor is murdered at the local college, leaving campus shocked and puzzled. Local whiz-kid detective Daulton Deadwood unearths a strange necklace.

He loses him in a graveyard, not knowing the necklace may be connected to the murder. To be continued.....

Thoughts:

• My half-assed attempt at doing an "indiana jones-ish" series. We only shot the first part of episode #1, as the second episode was only partly shot and never assembled. I kind of look back on this series now and admire it a little bit, even though the first episode has alot of problems, mainly from the little amount of pre-production work I did on the series. We shot at teaser about a year earlier, which I thought looked great, but the final product never was on that level of excitement.....
