The Lone Wolf, alias Michael Lanyard, was a lot like Boston Blackie - not only a thief who turned hero but also debuted in prose then moved on to movies and radio (also television!). He was created by Louis Joseph Vance.
The Lone Wolf's radio series lasted from June 29, 1948 to January 1, 1949 on Mutual -- and the only surviving episode appears to be the final episode, which just happens to be a Christmas-themed program! The title is "The Golden Santa" and concerns the Lone Wolf (portrayed by Walter Coy) being hired by a woman who claims to have lost a golden statue of Santa Claus.
Another Christmas radio program tomorrow!
