Bold Venture is an adventure drama set in the Caribbean, centered on charter-boat captain Slate Shannon and his partner, the resourceful King Moses. Together they operate from the island of Tortuga, where travelers, schemes, and danger regularly cross their path.

The series blends action and mystery with the atmosphere of an island port. Shannon’s boat brings him into contact with people seeking passage or help, while King’s sharp judgment and local knowledge make her an essential partner in their encounters. The stories move through a world of seafaring, intrigue, and sudden peril.

Humphrey Bogart plays Shannon and Lauren Bacall plays King, bringing their familiar screen partnership to radio. Their dry wit and easy rapport give the adventure a relaxed, distinctive edge, balancing suspense with the pleasures of two capable characters navigating an unpredictable Caribbean setting.
