Based on the novels by Frances Crane, The Adventures of the Abbotts featured the mystery-solving husband and wife team, Pat and Jean Abbott! This particular episode, “The Clicking Silver,” tells the story of a visit to a steel factory that results in murder and a reunion with an old flame! (Fair warning, the story includes a reference to a husband “spanking the daylights” out of his wife, ostensibly not “fun” spanking.) What is the clicking silver?
