Box 13 presents “The First Letter,” the first episode of the Alan Ladd mystery series, originally broadcast on August 22, 1948. In this opening adventure, Ladd stars as mystery writer Dan Holiday.
After placing a Star-Times classified ad seeking adventure, Holiday receives a serious reply from Carla Williams, who asks for help with a blackmail problem. A meeting at a French restaurant draws him into a case more perilous and complicated than it first appears. Written by Russell Hughes and directed by Vern Carstensen, the episode also features Sylvia Picker as Suzy.
Box 13 presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
