THE CHASE was an NBC anthology series that had stories of mystery, adventure, drama, fantasy, crime, horror and science fiction. None of the plots had much to do with the series title and signature chase scene.

The series was created by Lawrence Klee, of MR. KEEN fame. Fred Weihe, who directed X MINUS ONE, was the director. It had many of the same actors and production qualities as X MINUS ONE. The announcer was Fred Collins.
