Dangerously Yours was a half-hour radio program that focused on romance and adventure, with a strong emphasis on love stories between the characters. The show starred Victor Jory as the leading man, and often featured scenes where lovers would whisper sweet nothings to each other, while action and adventure played out in the background. At the end of each episode, an announcer would tease the audience with a brief preview of the upcoming week's show. The series underwent a title change towards the end of its run and became known as Vicks Matinee Theater, continuing to deliver romantic adventures to its audience.

Broadcast in 1944, Dangerously Yours was sponsored by Vicks and aired sixteen episodes during its time on the radio. Out of these sixteen, eleven are still available for collectors today. After the series transitioned to Vicks Matinee Theater, twenty-five more episodes were broadcast, some of which were repeats of earlier shows from Dangerously Yours. Out of these twenty-five episodes, twenty-two are known to still exist. The show was supported by the Vic Chemical Company, which produced various products like nose drops and vapor rubs. Victor Jory, a Hollywood actor, served as the primary hero and starred in adaptations of pirate, espionage, and adventure stories, all imbued with elements of romance. The show's name changed to Matinee Theater in October 1944.
