Alan Ladd stars as Dan Holiday in Box 13. Also starring Sylvia Picker as Suzy and Edmund MacDonald as Lt. Kling. To seek out new ideas for his fiction, Holiday ran a classified ad in the Star-Times newspaper where he formerly worked: "Adventure wanted, will go anywhere, do anything -- write Box 13, Star-Times". The stories followed Holiday's adventures when he responded to the letters sent to him by such people as a psycho killer and various victims.
