Summary
Box 13 presents “Dan and the Wonderful Lamp,” episode 32, originally broadcast March 27, 1949. Alan Ladd stars as writer-adventurer Dan Holiday, with Sylvia Picker as Suzy. A Box 13 invitation sends Dan to a garden charity bazaar at the Mannering estate, where a winning guess earns him an unusually ugly lamp. Before long, the curious prize draws intense interest from unexpected quarters—and turns a pleasant afternoon into a dangerous mystery. 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.
