Cool Million is an American crime drama series that aired on NBC as an element in its “wheel series” The NBC Wednesday Mystery Movie during its 1972–73 schedule.
Synopsis
James Farentino starred as Jefferson Keyes, a former agent in the clandestine services of the Central Intelligence Agency who, after he left “The Company,” as it was also called by its insiders, had established his own private detective agency. Keyes’s agency had, indeed, become so successful that he now charged his prospective clients a fee of $1,000,000 (hence the title) per case, which enabled him to live a fabulous lifestyle including his own executive jet.
