As the program's title implies, each episode focused on a person or group that was being pursued.[2]
Plans for the program were under way in December 1957, with Charles Russell moving from New York to the West Coast of the United States to produce the show. Writers engaged in the project were Charles Larsen, Jonathan Latimer, Don Sanford, Robert Soderberg, and Hagar Wilde.[3] The program's pilot, "The Lady Died at Midnight" starred Earl Holliman and was broadcast on February 23, 1958.[4]
Russell and Eva Wolas alternated weeks as producers, and the Mennen company had full sponsorship on alternate weeks.[5]
