Details of this episode are in the second edition of John Abbott;s YTJD book on pages 431-433. At the end, the credits are presented as the story being written by Jack Johnstone. It was not. Jack did not get involved in the series until after Lund left YTJD, Johnstone was tasked with reviving the series, directing the 1955 audition, The rest is history, with Johnstone leading the Bailey series. After the show moved to NYC, Johnstone kept writing for YTJD until the very end.
