From January 16, 1939 to January 26, 1952, stories from the pen of Carlton E. Morse graced the airwaves. The main ones remembered are One Man's Family, I Love A Mystery and Adventures By Morse. Adventures By Morse related the escapades of Captain Bart Friday and Skip Turner, two San Francisco private investigators. Friday was a no-nonsense type, raised in the California. Turner was quite a bit the lady's man, complete with a laconic Southern accent. Their occasional work for U.S. Military Intelligence takes them around the globe. The series consisted of eight serials that ran from October 26, 1944 to October 18, 1945. The first serial, "City of the Dead", consisted of 10 episodes. The second serial was done in 3 episodes. The remainder of the series alternated between 10 and 3 30-minute episodes. The adventures cover the world as well as the world of adventure. They take place on a South Pacific island, South America, Cambodia and South Carolina plus other locations. They deal with murder, espionage, Nazis secret bases, kidnappers, voodoo and even snake worshippers. If you're looking for adventure, you'll find it here.
