Operating out of the \u003ci\u003eCasa del Gato\u003c\/i\u003e nightclub in San Francisco, Cat skirts the edge of the law with the help of his one-handed police liaison, Captain McAllister.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eThe comic adaptation from \u003cb\u003eDell Publishing\u003c\/b\u003e ran for four issues in 1967, mirroring the high-stakes, noir-inspired tone of the television show.
