Harlow Doyle
Harlow Doyle is a bumbling private eye who arrives in Odyssey from Chicago, coonskin cap and all, bearing a striking resemblance in face and voice to Officer David Harley. His motto is simple: if something is lost, he can find it - which leads him to take on cases as unlikely as a girl's lost faith, a stolen camera, and the death of a goldfish. Loud, earnest, and spectacularly wrong-headed, he spins wild theories, accuses nearly everyone in sight, and often blunders into the truth by accident, with John Whittaker usually supplying the actual solution. He operates around Whit's End, briefly employs Connie Kendall as a secretary, and turns up on Kids Radio broadcasts as a roving reporter, once even declaring a case solved upon discovering that crime doesn't pay.
