Box 13 presents “The First Letter,” episode 1 of the series, originally broadcast August 22, 1948. Alan Ladd stars as mystery writer Dan Holiday in the program that established the series’ “Adventure wanted” premise.
After placing a classified ad seeking real-life adventures to inspire his fiction, Holiday receives a troubling letter from Carla Williams, who asks for help with what she hopes will be her final blackmail payment. Written by Russell Hughes, this opening mystery follows Holiday from the Star-Times office to a tense meeting at a French restaurant.
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.
