We continue our look at actors who played villains in the 1966 Batman TV series.

For this week’s episode, we’re taking a look at Van Johnson who played the role of the Musical/Electronics Genius, The Minstrel.

For our Old Time Radio program, we present the Screen Guild Theater presentation of The Devil and Ms. Jones. 

The richest man in the world, Merrick (Guy Kibbe) goes undercover in a department store he owns where employees led by a forceful charismatic young man named Joe (Johnson) burned him in effigy. Merrick hopes to use Joe’s kindly girlfriend (Donna Reed) to find out the names of those involved in the action.

Also features Howard Duff
