June 2, 1972. These are some of Dumont's notes on a crime-fighting renegade named Johnny California he wanted to develop for TV or the movies. Various episode ideas pop up from time to time in his musings. This appears to be just about all the background I can find on crime fighter Johnny California.
Johnny California. Crime fighter. As handsome as the rising son. Hair long and tangled. Unshaved. Masculine with no tolerance for hard criminals or mouthy women. Lives his life from the trunk of his candy-apple red 1969 Charger Convertible. As a master of karate and other Eastern forms of combat, Johnny California has no need for modern day weaponry. Devastating good looks, and insatiable charm, and the instincts of a mother of naughty children is all Johnny needs to get the job done.
Episode 1:
We open on a blush Beverly Hills residence. Johnny California is enjoying the comforts of three beautiful, barely clothed women when suddenly a masked man adorned in all black crashes through the pool-side sliding glass doors. In only his skivvies, Johnny springs into immediate action in the center of the sunken living room. Terrific man-on-man karate action ensues. Martini glasses fly, women scream, Johnny fights for his very life and those of his lady friends. Finally, a terrific blow to the nose sends the masked assassin through the very same window he came in through and into the nearby kidney-shaped pool. Johnny fishes the dead man out and pulls up the sleeve of the man’s shirt to reveal a scorpion tattoo. Johnny California is on the case.

Thank you, Kimberely. Wesley Dumont was truly an amazing man; I only wish he was still around to see his works finally out in public view.
Keep reading. More to come.
