Summary
Box 13 presents “Hunt and Peck,” episode 29 of the Alan Ladd mystery-adventure series, originally broadcast on March 6, 1949. Ladd stars as writer-investigator Dan Holiday in this Mutual network production, written by Russell Hughes and directed by Vern Carstensen. With a condemned man facing execution in 48 hours, Dan reviews a murder case built around a crucial typed note. The investigation hinges on an overlooked detail: the difference between touch typing and hunt-and-peck typing. 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.
