The fearless detective Dick Tracy, portrayed by Bob Burlen, embarks on an international adventure involving the theft of the mythical Black Pearl of Osirus. Tracy's quest to retrieve the stolen artifact sees him clash with a diverse cast of characters, including Junior, played by Jackie Kelk, and the villainous Moloch, voiced by Ned Wever. Tune in as Dick Tracy navigates through perilous traps and deceitful alliances to secure the ancient treasure. Together, these episodes from "Box 13" and "Dick Tracy" offer a nostalgic trip into the thrilling escapades and cunning mysteries that captivated listeners in the era of classic radio dramas.

In this week's episode of “Tuesday Night Detectives” on Vintage Classic Radio, we dive into the thrilling worlds of deception and mystery with two classic radio dramas. First up, we revisit "Rocky Fortune," featuring the smooth-voiced Frank Sinatra as the ever-charming and witty Rocky. In the episode “The Football Fix,” originally aired on February 2, 1954, Rocky stumbles upon a scandalous plot to rig a college football game. Employed as a locker room attendant, he quickly finds himself tangled in a web of bribery and threats. The episode features Barney Phillips as the sly coach Simmons, and Georgia Ellis as the intrepid reporter Janet, whose zeal for the truth leads her right into danger. Following "Rocky Fortune," we continue with “Box 13,” starring the iconic Alan Ladd as the adventurous Dan Holiday, a writer who finds inspiration through the classifieds. In the episode “The Professor and the Puzzle,” first broadcast in 1948, Holiday is drawn into a cerebral game when he receives a cryptic note challenging him to solve a puzzle that's stumped a professor. His journey to unravel the mystery is fraught with peril, testing his wits to the utmost. The cast includes Sylvia Picker as the astute and determined Professor Helen Ashby, and Ed Begley as the cunning antagonist Mr. Granger, who has much to gain from the professor's failure. Together, these episodes showcase the allure of detective radio drama, featuring star-studded casts and gripping narratives that continue to captivate audiences decades after their original broadcasts.

Actor Alan Ladd was born 110 years ago this month, and we're celebrating his life and career with four of his old time radio appearances. He plays mystery writer and amateur gumshoe Dan Holiday in "Diamond in the Sky" and "The Professor and the Puzzle," a pair of syndicated adventures from Box 13. Plus, he recreates his big screen role (and reunites with Veronica Lake) in The Blue Dahlia from The Screen Guild Theatre (originally aired on NBC on April 21, 1949) and he steps into the shoes of Walter Neff in Double Indemnity from Hollywood Star Time (originally aired on CBS on June 22, 1946).
In this bonus show, I'm opening the mail and picking out my five favorite episodes of Box 13. Alan Ladd stars as mystery writer and amateur detective Dan Holiday who finds his clients - and his story ideas - through a clever classified ad offering his services as an adventurer for hire. First, Holiday is hired to pose as a fiance in "Look Pleasant, Please" and he's pressed into a citywide scavenger hunt alongside a killer in "The Better Man." He works to save an innocent man from execution in "Hunt and Peck" and expose a cadre of crooked gamblers in "Much Too Lucky." Finally, a weekend getaway lands Holiday in the middle of a bitter family reunion and a series of dangerous practical jokes in "Death is No Joke."
"Adventure wanted -- will go anywhere, do anything -- Box 13." The premise of the program was that Dan Holiday was an author who wrote mystery novels. To get ideas for his novels he placed an advertisement in a newspaper saying "Adventure wanted, will go anywhere, do anything, Box 13." The ads always brought fun adventures of all kinds: from racketeer's victim to psychotic killer looking for fun. Most of the episodes were based on Dan Holiday replying to a letter he received at Box 13. He would generally solve a mystery in the process, and return to his office in time to enjoy a hearty laugh at the expense of Suzy, his amusingly stupid secretary. He would certainly not meet the strictest requirements for private eyes (not licensed, collected no fees from clients), but the definition should stretch to sneak him in under the rope. In total there were 52 episodes of this radio program created. It was heard over the Mutual Broadcasting System as well as being syndicated. The series was produced by Mayfair Productions. Box 13, starring Alan Ladd as Dan Holiday. Sylvia Picker played Suzy, Dan Holiday's secretary and Edmond MacDonald as Lt. Kling. Other stars in the series were Betty Lou Gerson, Lurene Tuttle, Alan Reed, Luis Van Rooten, John Beal and Frank Lovejoy. Music was by Rudy Schrager and the writer was Russell Hughes. Announcer/Director was Vern Carstensen. The series was produced by Richard Sanville with Alan Ladd as co-producer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
