Box 13 - "Short Assignment" (Old Time Radio, 2012)

from Box 13 | Old Time Radio Hosted by Old Time Retro Radio

Box 13 presents “Short Assignment,” originally broadcast October 3, 1948. This is episode 7 of the series’ 52-episode run, starring Alan Ladd as mystery writer and adventurer Dan Holiday. When Holiday agrees to fill in for a diminutive private detective, a seemingly simple protective assignment draws him into an elegant gathering shadowed by family worries, suspicious guests, and concern for a troubled young heir. Also cataloged as “George Flit, Detective,” the episode was written by Russell Hughes and features Sylvia Picker as Suzi. 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.
