About this episode
Alan Ladd is Dan Holiday, the mystery writer who plays detective to get story material, in Box 13 . The syndicated series found Holiday soliciting danger with an ad offering himself as an adventurer for hire – one who would "go anywhere, do anything." Answering those letters addressed to Box 13 meant Holiday could be volunteering to put a target on his back or to solve an impossible crime. We'll hear Ladd in "Much Too Lucky" and "The Perfect Crime."
