The Four Just Men
 

The Four Just Men was a 1959 Sapphire Films production.

Plot

The series, loosely based on a series of novels by Edgar Wallace, presents the
adventures of four men who first meet while fighting in Italy during the Second
World War. The men later reassemble, and decide to fight for justice and against
tyranny, using money set aside for the purpose by their late commanding officer.
They operate from different countries: Jeff Ryder is a professor of law at Columbia
University in New York, Tim Collier is an American reporter based in Paris,
Ben Manfred is a crusading independent MP who works from London and
Ricco Poccari is an Italian hotelier based in Rome. Their reputation as the
"Four Just Men" is well-known.

The series is unusual in having the four lead actors appear in turn other than
in the first episode; one or occasionally two makes a brief appearance in each
other's episode, usually on the phone.
