The Adventures of Frank Race was an adventure melodrama radio show that focused on its protagonist, Frank Race, a former attorney who traded his career for the world of intrigue in the OSS during World War II. After the war, he set out to make adventure his new business. Alongside his sidekick Mark Donovan, Race often began his adventures in New York but traveled the world to investigate international insurance scams and other crimes. The show featured elements of espionage, cloak-and-dagger mystery, and even some romance, making it a unique mix of genres that could be considered a blend of more established shows like Dangerous Assignment and Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.

The show first premiered on the East Coast on May 1, 1949, and continued until February 19, 1950, with a second run airing on the West Coast from June 5, 1951, to March 25, 1952.

Tony Barrett portrayed Mark Donovan, and the show was written and directed by Joel Murcott and Buckley Angel. There were 43 episodes of the radio show, and due to its syndicated nature, it aired on different stations and days for various markets.
