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.
