30 minute adventure show
"Adventure wanted: will go anywhere, do anything – Box 13."
The primary attraction of this detective adventure series was its star, Alan Ladd, who was also a big Hollywood star. He played former newsman, Dan Holiday. Holiday was a former newspaper writer who was now a mystery writer. The setup was that Holiday needed ideas for his novels, so he would put an ad in the paper: "Adventure wanted: will go anywhere, do anything – Box 13." As you may expect, an ad such as this brought in all sorts of responses. Okay, it brought in all sorts of responses that you would expect for an all ages radio program. Holiday would solve a murder mystery, or take a high stakes gamble, or infiltrate a gang, or just meet a bunch of odd balls. This was followed by 40 minutes of listening to him typing up his adventures…Okay, just kidding, the radio program was just the adventures, not his writing. The other main character was Holiday’s ditzy secretary, Suzie. Many felt that this character was so over the top that her personality distracted from the main story. Each episode is a half hour.
