I Love A Mystery 259 Episodes
I Love a Mystery was one of the most thrilling adventure mystery programs of radio’s golden age, delivering a potent mix of suspense, exotic locations, eerie supernatural overtones, and nonstop action. Created and written by the legendary Carlton E. Morse—famous for One Man’s Family—the series debuted in 1939 and quickly became a fan favorite for its breakneck pacing, cliffhanger storytelling, and trio of unforgettable heroes. Part detective yarn, part horror serial, and part globetrotting adventure, it stood out as one of radio’s most imaginative and atmospheric productions.
The show followed the exploits of three wandering thrill seekers who never met a mystery they didn’t want to chase. With high drama, strange characters, ancient curses, lost cities, and heart pounding danger, I Love a Mystery remains one of the most beloved and influential adventure serials ever produced.
The Stars
The cast was anchored by:
Jack Packard the calm, thoughtful leader, originally played by Michael Raffetto and later Russell Thorson.
Doc Long the excitable, wisecracking Texan, portrayed memorably by Barton Yarborough.
Reggie York the refined, fearless British member of the team, played by Walter Paterson, then Jim Bannon.
The chemistry between the three actors was a huge part of the show’s charm. Their banter, loyalty, and distinct personalities brought warmth and humor to even the darkest story arcs.

Other Information
I Love a Mystery was known for its vivid sound effects, haunting music cues, and the unique blend of mystery and pulp adventure. Although many episodes were lost due to poor transcription storage, the surviving episodes remain prized by collectors.
The show even inspired a film series in the 1940s and a revival called I Love Adventure in 1948, which continued the trio’s exploits in a more espionage focused setting.
