## Resource

Box 13 presents “Much Too Lucky,” episode 37 of the series, originally broadcast on May 1, 1949. Alan Ladd stars as adventure writer Dan Holiday, with Sylvia Picker as Suzy. When off-track betting operator Bert Hendricks is battered by a string of uncannily timed winning wagers, Dan Holiday investigates the race-broadcast and betting world to find out how the bettors seem to know the results before anyone else. Written by Robert Light, this suspenseful installment turns on horse-racing odds, last-minute slips, and an apparently impossible streak of luck. 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.
