- I Love a Mystery is an American radio drama series that aired 1939-44, about three friends who ran a detective agency and traveled the world in search of adventure. Written by Carlton E. Morse, the program was the polar opposite of Morse's other success, the long-running One Man's Family.
The central characters, Jack Packard, Doc Long, and Reggie York, met as mercenary soldiers fighting the Japanese in China. Later, they met again in San Francisco, where they decided to form the A-1 Detective Agency. Their motto was "No job too tough, no adventure too baffling." The agency served as a plot device to involve the trio in a wide variety of stories. These straddled the genres of mystery, adventure, and supernatural horror, and the plot lines often took them to exotic locales. Over the years, Jack was played by Michael Raffetto, Russell Thorson, Jay Novello, Jim Bannon, and John McIntire. Doc was played by Barton Yarborough and Jim Boles. Reggie was portrayed by Walter Paterson and Tony Randall. The agency's secretary, Jerry Booker, was played by Gloria Blondell. After Paterson committed suicide in 1942, his friend Morse could not bear to recast the role and Reggie was written out of the series. In later shows, Jerry's role was increased, and she replaced Reggie.

Yes, the plot is ludicrous, over the top. And I LOVE it. Of course, these are essentially adventure stories aimed at teenage boys. Unfortunately, despite the word "Complete" in the heading, it is NOT complete. Oh well, still enjoyable, and yes I love the yeast ads too.
Well, that's got to be the most ludicrous plot since Monty Python's 'Across the Andes by frog'.
The only thing that made any sense were the yeast advertisements.
It is a little hard to understand why they'd need to go by way of Africa and both Americans in order to smuggle someone from Spain to London. But with Spain under a Fascist regime only slightly distanced from the Italian one, and German Uboats patrolling the waters around France, maybe there is a logic of sorts to it. I could definitely see how this story could be made good with a little thought... I'm not even too bothered by the lack of an ending.
Thank you for your time
Now if only someone would edit out the yeast commercials.
Hilarious In it’s awfulness...... the opening scene, omg, the thundering of. Coconuts .......🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is been the worst story ever! There’s no ending, no conclusion - do they ever make it to Canada? And at this point, who really cares?
A lot of the radio dramas werent complete because they never thought to preserve them for future generations, they didnt take good care of the recordings they did have, or in I love a mysterys case a lot of the episodes are lost
