It's time now for Johnny$. Pat McCracken. Johnny, universal adjustment Bureau. Hi, Pat. What's on your mind? Ever heard of a, B and C? Well, yeah, back in the first grade. Look, I'm not talking about the Alphabet. I'm talking about an advertising agency. Oh, well, what about it? The A stands for Appleton. Alfred Appleton, 55 years old and Eastern Trust has his life insured for $100,000. So it's annuity. It starts paying off at the age of 65. And we'd like to see him collect. It looks like somebody else has different ideas. What do you mean? He thinks somebody's trying to kill him. I see. You want me to run down to New York and talk to him. He's up at his weekend place now, but 100 miles up the coast overlooking the sea at Skeleton Point. You can talk to him there. Skeleton Point. Now that's a cheerful name. I know, Johnny. Make sure it stays just a name. Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of the man with the action packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, yours truly, Johnny Dollar. And now, act one of Yours truly, Johnny Dol. Expense account, submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to the Eastern Trust and Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my Investigation of the 11 o'clock matter expense account Item 1, $8.40 Gas and mileage on my car to Skeleton Point through a drenching rainstorm. The Appleton home, perched high on a cliff edge of the sea was an old weather beaten affair. But right now it looked mighty good to me. Yes? Is this Mr. Appleton's house? This is the Gregory house. Oh, I'm sorry. Mr. Appleton only leases this house. Oh, I see. Well, is he at home? I believe he's expecting me. You're Mr. Dollar? Yes. I'm Mrs. G.R. gregory, the housekeeper. Come in. Mrs. Gregory had a strong, determined face and dark, metallic, piercing eyes. She took my coat and pointed to a door across the entry hall. I was conscious of her eyes following me as I entered the library to find two men seated in front of an open fire. Johnny Dollar? Yes, sir. I'm Al F. Appleton. This is my attorney, Grant Hillman. How are you, Mr. Dollar? Well, a little damp, Mr. Hillman. Oh, yeah. Here, sit down to the fire. Dry out. Oh, thanks. Feels good. And slightly warmer than the welcome the housekeeper gave you, I imagine Mrs. Gregory. Well, she did seem a little reserved. She's a widow, owns his house. But I love the place so. Anyway, I'm glad you came. I understand there's been some sort of attempt on your life, Mr. Appleton. Well, Mr. Appleton has received several, well, crank notes lately. We thought it wise to take what precautions we could. Have you notified the police, Mr. Hillman? No, no, I vetoed the idea, Johnny. Oh, why, Mr. Appleton, I didn't want that kind of publicity. Right now my advertising agency's right in the middle of landing a fat new account. Your agency is A, B and C? That's right. Who are B and C? Is? Nobody. Tom Baker and I like the idea of ABC but we didn't have any other partners. So C just stands for company. Well, this Tom Baker is your only partner then? He was. There's some question as to whether he still is. I don't follow you, Al. I don't think there's any need to go into that now. I guess you're right, Grant. Anyway, I don't want to accuse Tom of anything until I've had a chance to over the books this weekend. Al, did I hear someone at the door? A moment. This is Johnny Dollar, Laura, Mr. Dollar, my wife. Oh, I see. How do you do, Mr. Dollar? Mrs. Appleton Dollar. The crank letters Al has been getting are up in my room. I'll bring them down. Okay, Mr. Hellman. You'll stay overnight with us, won't you, Johnny? Now, haven't you imposed on Mr. Dollar Enough, dear? Perhaps he has business back in the City Nonsense. You know that storm out there. I'll have Mrs. Gregory make a room for him. Well, would you like a drink, Mr. Dollar? No. No, thanks. Mrs. Appleton, you seemed rather surprised when you saw me here. So did I. Almost as though you were expecting someone else. Someone else? Why, no. I. I wasn't expecting anyone in particular. Well, perhaps I just. Wait. Hold it. What's the matter? That flash of lightning. There's someone outside that window. Oh, no. You. You must be wrong. Stay right here. I grabbed my coat and went out into the storm. Because of the prowler? Sure. But also because of Laura Appleton. Because she'd been staring at that same window, shaking her head quickly, as though warning someone. But outside the downpour, in the mud, I could see no one. No footprints. Finally, I went back inside to the phone in the entry hall to call the local police. But the phone was dead. Maybe the storm had knocked down the lines. Yeah. Or maybe someone just wanted to make sure we'd have a nice, cozy weekend undisturbed. And my hunch was it might be too cozy for comfort. Act two of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment. And now for another episode in the life of Sergeant Donald Bellwether. My husband. Donald. Yes, dear? How much farther is it? No. About a hundred miles. You're not getting sleepy, are you? No, no, I'm all right. Now, you just close your eyes, honey, and take another nap. We'll be home soon. O. Will you stay awake now? Yeah, I will. Stop. Hotel. Sleepy Time. Gown. Sleepy time. Gown. Sleepy time. Sleep. 3. That'll be enough of that. Donald? Huh? Donald, are you awake? What? No, no, no, nothing. Re. It's all right. I. I guess I'm getting a little sleepy, that's all. Up a while. Take a little nap. It's a good idea. Oh, what if we do get home later than we planned? At least we'll arrive in good health. Yeah, you're so right. About 1800. American drivers lose their lives each year because they fall asleep at the wheel. Well, I'm just not gonna make it 1801. Have you caught far enough off the highway. Yeah, we're way off the road, Eddie. I could take a nap for about an hour. I'll be refreshed and we'll be on our way again, huh? All right, dear. No, sir. I'm not gonna make it 1801. And you're not gonna make it 18. Oh, that's my Donald. That's my doll. And now, act two of yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the 11 O'CL. Did you see anybody outside, Mr. Duller? In that rain, Mr. Hillman, I couldn't see 10ft in front of me. Can you describe the face you saw at the window? Well, it was more of a silhouette. I couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman. You sure you did see someone, Johnny? Yes, reasonably sure. Mr. Appleton. Come in. Your partner is here. Mr. Appleton. Tom Baker. Hello, Al. I thought I'd surprise you. I tried to call you earlier but your phone was out. Well, this is a surprise. I'd like you to meet Johnny Dollar. Hi, Tom. You're soaking wet. My car hit a big puddle about half a mile down the road and quit on me. I had to walk the rest of the way. Did you just now get here, Mr. Baker? Yes, why? Mr. Dollar thought he saw someone outside the window a few minutes ago. Oh, no, I just now got here. Well, I got some extra clothes up in my room that should fit you. Tom, let's get you changed before you catch cold. Thank you, Hellman. Look, this Wayne is getting all of us down. Why. Why don't we live a little, huh? How about going down to the beach house, building a fire, playing some records, having some drinks, huh? Yeah, might be a good idea. Where's the beach house? Down near the bottom of the cliff of the beach. It's real nice, but in this weather. Oh, there's a stairway leading down. Yes, why don't we go down there? I'm. I'm getting the creeps just sitting around here like this. So we went down to the beach house. The rain had lit up a little, but nobody seemed to feel much like a party. We just sat there in front of the fire, not saying much. Once or twice I thought I detected Laura Appleton and Tom Baker exchanging quick glances, but I couldn't be sure that's the intercom from the house alone. Oh yeah, I'll get it. Yes. Oh yes, Ms. Gregory, you can go on to bed. We won't be needing you anymore tonight, you know. Bed sounds like a good idea. Oh, it's almost 11 and I'm beat, so if you'll excuse me. Oh, sure, sure. Why don't we all. Could we have our talk now? Oh, okay, Tom, if you insist. Laura, why don't you fix us another drink? All right. Alright. How about you, Mr. Dollar? Yeah, I'm with you. Hellman, let's go on up to the house. Well, I'm glad the rain has let up. Yeah. Mr. Hillman, I didn't come with you because I was tired. I wanted to talk to you I thought as much. Earlier this evening, Appellant said something about not wanting to accuse Baker of anything until he'd gone over the books this weekend. What did he mean? Well, I'm not really sure, Mr. Donner. All I know is that Al seems to think he may have found some irregularities in the books of his advertising agency. Oh, well, if there is anything wrong, I'd blame myself partially. How so? Well, I manage most of Al's affairs, but the agency has been running so smoothly. At least, so I thought. Well, I see that that's going to change. As of right now, I didn't come up to go to bed either. I'm going to work on those books. Ought to take me about an hour. Just about 11 now. Will you be up by midnight? Yeah. I'd like to know what you find out. Where's that light switch? I never could remember. Solicitor. What is it? There's somebody else in here. Look out. What? $. I guess I was out only a few seconds because the clock was still striking when Hellman brought me to $. Are you all right? What? Yeah, I guess so. I grabbed at him, whoever he was, but he knocked me loose. By the time I got the lights on, he was gone. Lucky for you, he only stunned you momentarily. Oh, brother. Hillman, did you see where he went? Well, he didn't leave by this front door here. I'm sure of that. Then he must be still in the house. We worked our way through the house room by room. Finally, 10 minutes later, we stood by an open window in a back room. Well, there's our answer. He got out this window. Yeah. What is it? What's the matter? What? Oh, Mrs. Gregory? Yeah? Mr. Dollar was attacked by a prowler. A prowler? What? That's terrible. Where's the intercom to the beach house? We'd better tell Mr. Apple. Right there on the wall. Ah, this button here. Yes? No answer. Come on, Hillman, let's get down there. He pounded out of the house along the path to the edge of the cliff. Then we found her, Laura, standing at the top of the wooden stairway. One section of the railing was broken away. We looked over the cliff. There was a body lying in the rocks down below. It was Al Appleton, act three of yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment. Do you know who said democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people? Those words came from the American religious leader Harry Emerson Fosdick. From the earliest days of the United States of America there has been the sentiment that the average person can achieve an important goal if he is given an environment in which he can develop his capabilities to the fullest extent. An environment in which the individual is given the rights and privileges that he needs for development. It is the duty of every American to protect and stimulate this environment. Remember the words of Harry Emerson Fosdick. They are part of your American heritage. The extraordinary possibilities of ordinary people are inherent in American democracy. And now, act three of yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the 11 o'clock matter. We stood on the stairway at the top of the cliff looking down at Evelyn's body in the rocks below. That is, Hillman and I did Laura Apple. Appleton was in a state of shock and we couldn't get much sense out of her. We had Mrs. Gregory take her back to the house. Then Hellman and I got a flashlight and climbed down the rocks to Appleton's body. Dead. Mr. Darling, we'd better not move that body until the police get here. Yeah. Let's see. His Wristwatch stopped at 10 after 11. It's 11:30 now. That's right. And because the clock was just striking 11 when I got hit over the head in the entry hall. Yeah. Then we must have spent 10 or 15 minutes searching the house for that prowler. Meantime, he or somebody else was shoving Appleton over the cliff. Somebody else? There were a couple of people with Appleton down at the beach house. Laura and Tom Baker. I'd forgotten about Tom. Where is he right now? Hellman, that's a very good question. We went back to the house. The phone was working now, so I put in a call to the local sheriff's office. But all the units were out on call. They'd send somebody as soon as they could. I started for Laura Appleton's room. Grant Hillman overtook me in the hall. $I made a preliminary check of the agency records. Appleton brought up here with him this weekend. Did you find a shortage? Yes. Possibly as much as $50,000. I see. Thanks, Hillman. Yeah, I'll see you. Come in. Oh, Mr. Dollar, I. I'm feeling better now. I'm sorry to bother you with questions, Mrs. Appleton, but I'm afraid I have no choice. Yes, I understand. I want you to tell me exactly what happened. Well, I. I'll try. After you and Grant Hillman left the beach house, my husband and Tom Baker and I sat there a few minutes and then Tom left. I see. Then a couple of minutes later, somebody from the house called my husband on the intercom, so he left me. What time was that? Oh, a few minutes after 11, I guess. What happened Then I. I sat there a few minutes longer. Then I. Well, I. I just didn't feel like sitting there alone. So I started up the stairway. When I got to the top, I. I saw that the rail had been broken away. I. I looked over the edge. Okay. Mrs. Appleton, why did Tom Baker come here this evening? I. I don't know. I think you do. What? You tried to warn him. When I saw his face at the window earlier. His face? And the two of you kept exchanging glances all evening. I know you're wrong. Listen, Grant Hillman's in a position to know something about your husband's business affairs, isn't he? Well, of course. Why? Your husband suspected a short. Hillman confirmed it a few minutes ago after going over the records. Surely you don't think that Tom Baker. Baker was your husband's partner. Maybe he came up here to try to square things with him. Was that it? No. All right. Tom did come up here to talk to my husband. What about? I was going to ask for a divorce to marry Tom Baker. Oh, I. I know it sounds sordid now after what's happened, but it wasn't that way at all. Tom and I wanted everything in the open. We wanted to tell Al, but I. Well, I didn't realize that you and Grant were going to be here this weekend. That's why I tried to signal Tom not to come in. Go on. Down at the beach house, he wanted to talk to Al, but. Well, I guess he couldn't bring himself to it. That's why he went for a walk. And you haven't seen him since? No. Oh, Mr. Dollar, I know my story doesn't sound very convincing, but. But if you're trying to suggest that either Tom or I killed my husband. Yeah. $, could I see you a minute? Oh, sure. I'll talk with you later. Mrs. Appleton. What is it, Hellman? Tom Baker just walked in. Baker? Yes. I thought you'd want to talk to him. I sure do. Look, Mrs. Appleton claims somebody called her husband at the beach house on the intercom. A few minutes after 11. If so, that's what lured him up to the top of the stairway. A few minutes after 11? Well, that's when you and I were searching the house. We ended up at the intercom last though. Somebody could have had time to make that call. Now, wait a minute. Mrs. Gregory was near that room when we got to it. Yeah, I know. Why don't you question her, Hellman, while I see what I can get out of Baker? The fifth time, $, I didn't have anything to do with it. I went for a walk on the beach. I didn't even know Appleton was dead until Grant Hillman told me a few minutes ago. I'm telling you the truth. Yeah, well, I'm afraid we'll have to let the police decide that. Baker Sheriff Station. Malone. Hello. Johnny Dollar at the Appleton place. I'm still waiting for one of your units. Oh, yeah, I was sorry, Mr. Dollar. We've had a lot of calls in the count of the storm. Well, you're not the man I talked to when I called before. No, that was Harris. He went off duty at once. He left me a message about your call and we'll have somebody up there within 15 minutes. Okay, thanks. That's funny. Well, Mrs. Gregory denies making that call on the intercom dial M. Oh, yeah. Okay, Helen, what's the matter? Something that sergeant said over the phone. Hey, wait a minute. What time have you got? Why, 10 minutes or one. Yeah, that's what my watch says too. But according to the sergeant, it was after one. I checked the big clock in the entry hall and the one in the living room. They both agreed with my watch, 10 minutes. At 1, I slipped outside, unlocked my car door and looked at the clock on the dashboard. It read 10 after 1. When I felt a gun in my back, I realized I come up with the answer a little too late. Pity, $. I thought I had a foolproof idea, but I hadn't figured on your locking the car. So it was you hit me over the head when the clock was striking 11. Who called? Apple. And at the beach house, lured him up the stairway and shoved him over. Then came back and reset my watch and the clock so I'd hear it still chiming. 11. When you brought me to, I thought I'd only been out a few seconds. Actually, it was 15 minutes. Yes, but you're the only one who knows. Now, get in the car. We're leaving to get in. Then kicked at the car door behind me. It swung and knocked Hillman off balance. Before he could recover, I nailed him. By the time he came to, the sheriff's patrol had arrived and Hillman, you know, he wasn't one bit happy to see them. Expense account, item two. 13 even. Transportation back home. Total expenses $21.40. And a real bargain, if I do say so myself. Remarks. Hillman's motive was money. Of course. It was he who'd taken the 50,000 from Appleton's agency. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

Adam Graham
Welcome back. A pretty good episode and what I liked is the solid number of suspects, particularly for this era. Too often the solution becomes almost immediately obvious because there aren't enough characters who could be plausible perpetrators. And and Robert Rife introduced plenty. However, I think once the murder happened, it did become a bit obvious who did it, although it took a while for firm proof to show up. It was kind of weird that Johnny effectively deputized Hillman for some reason. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense given Hillman's position in this story. But it does make me wonder whether Robert Reif might have repurposed this from another script where that sort of arrangement made more sense. The Donald Bellwether PSA was probably one of the better ones and managed to really illustrate the lesson it was trying to teach most of the time. By necessity, these were often meant to be conversational breezy ways of talking about serious messages on traffic safety. But this time they were able to practically illustrate the concept they were trying to bring home to the audience. It was one of the best commercials I ever heard where everyone fell asleep at the end. Listener comments and feedback now. And we start out on Spotify with some comments from Harrison regarding the Latin Lovely matter. Harrison writes. Juanito Peso was the highlight. If this episode had about two more minutes, it would have been a stronger episode if they showed Carmela's full breakdown and confession. I agree. I do think that one challenge of these later episodes is that they were so constricted on time, so they had to exposit some things that really should have been shown. And then he writes regarding the Broderick Manor omnibus. A favorite story of mine. Bob Bailey leads a cast of amazing actors in this one. I'd forgotten a lot of details for this one, so it was nice hearing it in its entirety. The inflection Bailey has his dollar really shows his deep compassion. I feel felt like I was in the room right next to him. And that's a great point. Definitely the power of the performance and of radio drama in general. And regarding the Alkali Mic matter. So the Sargent went from working with Mr. Chameleon to Johnny Dollar. Now that's a tonal shift and that was regarding the alkali mic matter, but I don't think that might have been the clearest recording. But I am almost certain that Frank Butler, who played Sergeant Dave Arnold, was not in that episode. It can be hard to tell who was in it, but thankfully John Abbott does have the cast information, which didn't include Butler, who was still doing New York radio until at least the late 1950s, so wouldn't have been in a Hollywood program from 19. Then we go to YouTube comments on the ingenious jeweler matter Mechanics6682 writes, the method with the wire in the locked room was very reminiscent of a Poirot story where there was string and a squealing pig balloon used. Well, that particular story had been out nearly 20 years at the time this episode aired, so it may have been a source of inspiration. And another listener writes, since Johnny Dollar is a contractor, I would probably estimate his compensation would be daily expenses plus 30% of the policy large insurance companies have in house lawyers and in house investigators. But I'm sure their underwriters would insist on them hiring an outside independent specialist like Johnny Dollar for high profile policies. I think that's a possibility. The problem with concluding that that's, you know, what Johnny was really getting paid is he's not always used for those sort of cases. From a writing standpoint, the appeal of Johnny Dollar is that you've got a very wide open field where you can essentially write anything insurance related. But if you imagine that Johnny is a highly paid specialist, a lot of the cases he is offered and that he takes make no sense. Take the Broadrick matter. It's a $1,500 policy. So if he was charging 30%, the insurance company would pay out $450 plus expenses, which would not make sense for them, but it also wouldn't make a whole lot of sense for Johnny. $450 in a week is a good week's work in 1955, but there's such a thing as opportunity cost. If you're running out on fifteen hundred dollar insurance policies, you could miss the call when somebody's calling about a $500,000 $200,000 policy. Not only that, but keep in mind 1950s tax rates. Johnny Dollar is a single man who doesn't own a home, doesn't likely have a ton of tax deductions. Once you get above $70,000 in taxable income, and keep in mind that's 19, you would have been taxed at 80% plus tax rates. And if Johnny was getting paid like that because he deals with enough big policies, it wouldn't take him more than three or four months to start bumping up against that. It actually became a feature of the Nero Wolf novels of the era and into the 1960s when the tax rates went down. That Wolf would essentially work until he got up into the 90% tax bracket and then he would just stop. So all that to say, I think that the listener is probably guessing correctly for some cases, but just because Johnny's cases are all over the place in terms of the type, it's still not something you can easily guesstimate. And because we are off for a week, we had comments on another episode, the Latin Lovely Matter. Ron sir writes, wow, Adam, you found one I haven't heard. And Mechanic 6682 says, that was like a concert after the episode. I know a lot of those Armed Forces Radio and Television Service programs will end with a good deal of music because they aired without commercials. Now oftentimes they would add in various public service announcements, but sometimes Even with the PSAs, it wouldn't be enough to get the program to the length that the afrts needed it to be to make their schedule work. So then we get a little bit of a mini concert. Say Soft writes regarding the hapless Hunter matter Hey Adam, I just want to second the person who wrote the email about the impossibility of staging a shooting incident by hanging a rifle from the ceiling. But in addition to the things that this person already mentioned, there were a couple other things wrong with the plot to begin with. The guy who got shot in the shoulder said he got shot with a 30 30, but we later learned that he actually got shot with a 20 and Johnny should have picked up on that. I mean, getting shot with a.22 would have caused relatively minor damage, while getting shot with a.30 30 would have blown the guy's whole shoulder off. Also, at one point the guy stated that he had used the.30 30 to shoot something at 200 yards. That's not plausible either, due to the ballistic characteristics of a.30 30 bullet. Certain bullets, including the.30 30 and the.357 Magnum are really just for short range use. That's because when you shoot one of these bullets parallel with the ground, it will start losing altitude quite quickly. By the time the bullet travels about 150 or so yards, it will have fallen either to or close to the ground. Now, had the guy been using something like a.30 aught 6 or a 25 odd 6. Hitting a target at 200 yards would have been no problem at all. As for this week's episode, I'm with Ronser in that I've never also never heard this one. And I really have to wonder what I'd do if I were to be awakened from a deep sleep by such a sexy sounding voice. Well, thanks for the comment, Ronser. I appreciate it. As to being awakened like that, I would kind of assume she was either a spy or an assassin or something like that and be a bit nervous. But maybe that's because I've watched and listened to too many mysteries, if such a thing is actually possible. And then on our listener survey, Dee Bassman from New York City writes, this is my go to show for daily diversion and pleasure. Well, thanks so much. So glad to be of help. Well, now it is time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day.

Find him. Yes, ma'am. Come on, honey. Take it easy, huh? It. It's just never happened to us before. Sergeant Joan and Tilt have never gone off like this. It's not like him, that's all. Only babies, really. Would you like me to get that for you, Mr. Carson? Yes, sir. Would you please? Oh, hi, Wilkie. Joe. Anything? No, not yet. You wanna step outside? Yeah, yeah. Ralph and I checked with a guy who runs an ice cream wagon. He works the area in the park where the kids disappeared. What'd he tell you? He saw a couple of little girls about a half a mile from that eucalyptus Grove about 3 o'clock this afternoon. They were with a man here. Says he saw the man put the kids in a truck, drove off with him.
