Alan Ladd Box 13 (Box Thirteen): "The Better Man" (1949: Old-time Radio)
Ойын-сауық
Dan Holiday's "client" is a cynical old millionaire bent on playing games with people for his own sick amusement. This time he goads Holiday into playing along by laying a guilt trip on him if he doesn't join an LA-wide treasure hunt for hidden cash ($100,000) versus a hardened criminal and two other avaricious types. Will Holiday outfox the old fox or will the eccentric (and criminal) old "philanthropist" have his way?

@@tesmusicnewsissues9770 Yes it is Jack Webb! Such a distinctive voice.
Winthrop sounds like the crypt keeper ! 🤣
These are excellent written scripts -varied in plots from one episode to the next - and ably acted by Alan Ladd and cast.

I juat remembered the title of the best of the box 13 episodes, the one with Barry Kroger.---'Find Me, Find Death'..
That's Jack Webb voice later in the show

good actor known in Hollywood as The quite man
Agreed!
Forst heard these shows on Stan Freeberg's 'old time radio' show in the 1980s and tape recorded them...tho they didnt come often ( Stan played a lot of 'suspense' shows, which were also fine). This os one of the best ones, with Jack ( 'Dragnet') Webb. My favorites are 'Last will and nursery rhyme', 'The haunted Artist' and the one ( cant think of its name right off) with Barry Kroger ( voice a bit like orson wells) as the letter writer who promises to find out the identity of the man behind box 13 and murder him within 3 days...that is the grimmest one...and Kroger was good in any role, tho not given much work in films ( he had a 'radio face') he was great as the crooked lawyer who meets a grisly end in the Richard Conte-Victor Mature film noir ' Cry of thr city' from 1947.
