Strange Wills was a unique radio program syndicated in 1946, produced by Teleways/Michelson Syndication in Hollywood. The show starred stage and film actor Warren William, who also played a part in the creative team. The premise of the show was based on actual wills from lawyer-turned-author Ken Krippene's research, with the names changed to protect the identities of those involved. This mystery drama series focused on the complexities, dramas, and legal entanglements arising from unusual wills, and starred William as Probate Attorney Warren Francis O'Connell.</p><p>The show had a talented cast, including Howard Culver, Carleton G. Young, Lurene Tuttle, William Conrad, and Peggy Webber, with a supporting cast of talented West Coast voice actors. Despite only having one season of 26 shows, the program left a mark for its intriguing stories ranging from insanity, horror, to pirate tales and lost treasure.</p><p>Charles Michelson bought the syndication rights of Strange Wills and licensed them to Grace Gibson Radio Productions for distribution in Australia. Warren William eventually acquired the entire series of productions with plans to continue the series on NBC under the name I Devise and Bequeath. Sadly, William passed away in 1948, and no further work on the series is known to have occurred.
