The Planet Man

Science fiction adventure radio serial, 1952-53
from archive.org

From pdsh.wikia.com:

Dantro, the Planet Man, is an agent of the League of Planets who upholds peace and fair play. Like all agents of the League, he is forbidden to resort to violence, except in self-defense. However, he is a skilled fighter, and he carries a sidearm at all times. He is a humanoid from Planeris Rex, and he was the first representative of the League to make contact with the humans of earth. He still has much to learn about human customs and sayings. He goes on to save the solar system from the evil of Marston of Mars, and later has adventures beyond the solar system.


From comicbookplus.com/?cid=3052:

Planet Man, targeted at kids, was produced by Palladium Radio Productions. It is: "... the fascinating story of Dantro, the planet man, trouble-shooter for the League of Planets Organization."

If you are wondering the League of Planets Organization is: "the law enforcement body for peace and justice in the celestial world." The headquarters is Planeria Rex "the capital of the planets".

So Planet Man (AKA Danto) is part of the popular 1950's space rangers genre. But he was not a human. He was in fact a humanoid which was handy for his dealings with Earth.

Other regular characters who appear in the show are: Dr. John Darrow and his daughter Pat, Jane and Billy and Slats his engineer.
