From Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar, Pat McCracken, Johnny Universal Adjustment Bureau. Hi Pat. What's on your mind? 75,000 bucks. Yours is somebody else's. Johnny, ever hear the Subala Diamond? Yeah, matter of fact, I have. It's a pink diamond, isn't it? That's right. One of the companies we represent wrote a $75,000 policy on it. The owner of the stone, a jeweler named Joseph Wentworth, was trying to sell it. So? So last night the Savella diamond was stolen. I'll be right over. Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of the man with the action packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly, Johnny Doll. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hartford, Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Rolling Stone matter. Expense account item $1.20. Cab fare from my apartment at the office of Universal adjustment bureau. Pat McCracken gave me one additional dopey had which wasn't much, and I headed for New York. That' $26.40 and the apartment of Joseph Wentworth. I was just released from the hospital an hour ago. They kept me overnight for observation. Nothing serious I hope, Mr. Wentworth? No. I was hit on the back of the head. At first they suspected a skull fracture, but it was only a slight concussion. Well, you're lucky. Practically my total asset stolen and you call it lucky? You mean the Ceballa diamond? I borrowed heavily to purchase that stone, Mr. Dollar. I'm afraid I'm just about ruined. Well, if I'm not mistaken, it was insured for $75,000. You don't understand. The insurance money will barely cover the loans. The diamond wasn't insured for its full value. I see. And what's worse, I had a customer for it. I was almost ready to close the deal. Could have gotten at least 100,000, maybe more. Try to tell me exactly what happened, Mr. Wentworth. Last evening. Eloise stopped by the shop at six. We were going to have dinner together. Eloise? Eloise Barnes. By fiance. I started to close up and I remembered I'd forgotten to put some things in the safe. She went down the street a ways to hail a taxi and I went back inside. And left the front door unlocked. I must have. I was in a hurry. I opened the safe. Then I heard a sound behind me. I started to turn, but. Too late. That's the last I remember. The police figure out what you were hit with? Yes. A heavy brass candlestick in my shop. Then when Eloise brought me to Zibala, diamond was gone. Just a minute. You say Eloise brought you to. Yes. You see, when I didn't come right back outside, she started wondering what had happened. She came in and found me lying on the floor. How long have you known Eloise, Mr. Wentworth? About a year why? Mind giving me her address? I think I'd like to talk to her expense account. Item 3, $1.80 cab fare to Eloise Barnes apartment. Eloise looked, if anything, more expensive than the Savala diamond, and I had the feeling that underneath that lovely surface, she was almost as hard. Her gray eyes never left my face as we talked, and I got the impression she had neatly weighed me, cataloged me and put a price tag on me braid. I can't help you much, Johnny. Joe Wentworth apparently told you all there is to tell about it. You were out looking for a taxi at the time Wentworth got slugged. That's right. I feel sorry for Joe. That was a lot of diamond to lose. Must be quite a stone. Don't you go for those things? I don't know. I guess some people really have a thing about diamonds. But not you, huh? All right. Just happens there are a couple of things I prefer. Like what? Like money and mink. But now, according to your fiance, you were just a minute. According to my what? Your fiance, Wentworth. Donny. That may be his idea, but it's not mine. Well, you're not engaged. Joe's been very nice to me and I like him, but we're just friends, so far as I'm concerned. Oh, yeah? I'm afraid I'm not the engaged type, Johnny. I've tried it once or twice, but it didn't work. Seems to interfere with my hobby. Your hobby? Yes. Having fun. What's your hobby, Johnny? Well, at the moment, trying to find the Savannah diamond. Then what? Well, I. I have been known to have fun now and then, Johnny. I hope you find the diamond real soon. The invitation was printed in large type, but this was no time for an rsvp, Especially since I remembered Wentworth mentioning a customer who had been anxious to buy the diamond just before it was stolen. I called Wentworth and got the man's name, Gerald Mantell, who had an apartment just off Fifth Avenue in the East 70s. Ah, yes, Mr. Dollo. The Sabala diamond. An exquisite stone. The pink radiance of it when it caught the light, positively hypnotic. Such a pity it was stolen. Mr. Wentworth tells me he was negotiating with you for the sale of that diamond. That is correct. Unfortunately, we had reached a stalemate yesterday. You see, he wanted more than the diamond is worth. Well, maybe that's a matter of opinion, Mr. Dollar. I am a collector and a connoisseur. I know what such things are worth. Ah, yes. I only hope it'll be recovered before Friday. It would make things so much more enjoyable. For me. What happens Friday? I'm leaving for Europe. Oh, business trip? Not really. As a matter of fact, more of an impulse than anything else. Anything wrong with that, Mr. Van Tael? That's a good question. Act two of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment. Our flag now numbers 50 stars and behind each star there stands yet another flag representing one of the 50 states. Alabama's state flag is of St. Andrew, the symbol of the Confederacy, and the national flag of Scotland. Alabama's state capital, Montgomery, served as the first capital of the Confederacy and it was on the steps of its capitol building that Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as President of the Confederated States of America. The Scottish cross is in the form of an X or saltier and is also found on the state flags of Georgia and Mississippi. Perhaps it is the independent, rugged spirit of the Scots that recommended its national symbol to the Confederacy. And as a symbol of its rebellion, Alabama's state flag, the flag of the 22nd state to enter the Union, was adopted on February 16, 1895. And now, Act 2 of yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the Rolling Stone matter. I went back to my hotel, stretched out on the bed and went over the whole thing in my mind. Eloise, who liked the things that money could buy and who supposedly had been looking for a taxi while Wentworth was slugged and the diamond lifted. Then there was Gerald Mantel, a collector who was now suddenly leaving for Europe. Yeah, could be either of them. Johnny Dollar. You looking for the Sabala diamond, Mr. Dollar? Who's that? Well, it doesn't matter. I know where the diamond is. Oh, where? Not so fast, Dollar. I'm sure the insurance company you represent would pay quite a bit to get that stone back. The question is how much? Oh, there's a bigger question than that, friend. Whether you're on the level or not. Suppose I can show you the case the diamond was kept in. Would you be convinced then? Maybe. Antonio's bar on East 53rd. Yeah, maybe there in an hour. Now wait a minute, Howl. I know you, I'll know you. Hey, wait a minute. Item four, two dollars even, drinks at Antonio's. While I waited for my telephone buddy to contact me, a half hour went by. Nothing happened. Then somebody came in and went to a corner booth. Not the person I'd been expecting, but just as interesting. So I went over it. Hello, Eloise. Johnny. Sit down. Ah, thanks. Expecting someone? All sorts of people. But this is a pleasant surprise. What brings you around here? Business, I thought. You know, Johnny, you've got a one track mind. Always Business. With that attitude, you miss a lot. I don't doubt it. Oh, here you are, Eloise, I. Oh, why, it's Mr. Dollar. Well, Mr. Mantel, I. I didn't know you two knew each other. Oh, yes, we've been friends for years. As a matter of fact, it was Eloise who told me about the Cebala diamond. Oh, you didn't tell me that, Eloise. You didn't ask me, Johnny. Oh, Gerald, the head waiter seems to be signaling to you. So I see. I'll be right back. Well, look, Eloise, I. I think I better be getting along. Don't leave, Johnny. You've got a date with Mantel. He just wanted to have a drink with me before he left for Europe. I told him I was meeting Joe Wentworth here, so he said he'd stop by for a minute. Did Wentworth know that you and Mantel are old friends? I saw no reason to tell him, Johnny. Joe's very tiresome about things like that. You mean he's jealous? No. Wonder what happened to Gerald this trip he's taking to Europe. I gather he got the idea rather soon suddenly. Gerald's very impulsive that way. Yeah. Well, I'll be getting along, Eloise. Looks like the man I came here to meet isn't going to show. I can't imagine what's keeping Joe. I'd say we've both been stood up, Johnny. Maybe we should do something about it. Well, as I told you, right now, the only thing I have on my mind. I know that diamond. A girl could get tired of waiting, Johnny. Eloise, I don't think you've ever waited very long for anything. See you later. I'll count on it.

Dollar. What? Oh, Wentworth. We were wondering what had happened to you. Mr. Dollar, I'm certain you're a very efficient investigator, but it seems to me that you've questioned Eloise all you need to. Or have your conversations with her now reached the unofficial stage. Oh, now look, if that is the case, and I suspect it is, I'd better remind you that. Eloise. Maybe I'd better remind you of a couple of things, Wentworth. In the first place, you Mr. Johnny Dollar? Yeah. Over here. Wait. Oh, Mr. Dollar is a note and a package for you, sir. Gentleman just left with me. Did he give his name? Oh, no, sir, no. But he was a short man, stocky, and he wore a gray suit. Okay, thanks. Here you go. Oh, thank you. As I started to say. Hold on, what do you want with. Couldn't take a chance contacting you. Somebody was following Me? Contents of the package will show you I know what I'm talking about. We'll contact you later. What's this all about, Dalek? It's from a man who phoned me a couple of hours ago. If it's what I think is. And his package? Yeah. Empty jewel case. Your name on it. Wentworth. What? That's the case I kept the Ceballa diamond in. Yeah. See you later. Wentworth. Where are you going, darling? Back to my hotel room. And wait to hear from him. I went outside and started for the corner to grab a cab. As I passed the alley, I spotted something sprawled on the ground. A body. It was Gerald Mantel. Act three of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment. The way a man conducts himself, at ease or under stress shows what he's made of. It shows his character under the strongest light. This is particularly true when a man becomes a prisoner of war. One of the points of the code of conduct of the American fighting man says, if I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information nor take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them up in every way. The very essence of the ideals set forth in those words were displayed by Commander, later Rear Admiral Richard Antrim in April 1942, while a prisoner of war in Macassar, Dutch East Indies, during World War II. Acting instantly on behalf of a naval officer who was subjected to heavy punishment, Commander Antrim boldly tried to quiet the guard and persuade him to discuss the charges against the officer. The guard refused. Tension increased. The entire enemy prison force was faced by 2700 allied prisoners. An order was given to continue the punishment. Suddenly, Commander Antrim, at the risk of his own life, stepped forward and volunteered to take the remainder of the punishment. This sudden move got a roar of acclaim from the inspired Allied troops and so amazed the enemy that both men were spared any further indignities or punishment. Commander Antrim's heroic and unselfish conduct brought about better conditions for the prisoners and earned new respect for American officers and men. Commander Richard Antrim upheld the highest ideals of an officer and earned for himself the Medal of Honor. And now, act three of yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the Rolling Stone matter. Come on. Mantel. Mantel. Mantel. Come out of it. Come on. Come on. My head. Here, I'll help you. All right, Easy now. Are you okay? I guess so. Who did it? I don't know. $, the head waiter told me a taxi driver wanted to see me outside. I came out, but there was no cab in sight. I thought he might be at the corner, so I started walking past the alley. Here. Yes, Mr. Dollar, why would anyone want to beat me up? I can think of one possibility. Mantel. Yes. You wanted the Savala diamond pretty badly, but Wentworth wouldn't sell at your price. Are you suggesting. I'm suggesting you lifted the diamond and somebody was trying to get it back from you just now. But I don't have the diamond. I never did. Maybe you know where it is. No, I swear I don't. As for getting beaten up just now, I'm every bit as much in the dark as you are. I didn't know whether he was telling the truth or not, but I had no proof he was lying. Item five, a dollar, even. A pot of coffee in my hotel room while I tried to pull some threads together. But they didn't pull. If Mantel had the stone, who phoned me and sent the empty jewel case to convince me he had information. How did he fit? Yeah? Oh, Watworth. Come in here. Mr. Dollar, I. I have some information that will interest you. Yeah? Yes. First, though, I. I owe you an apology for, well, flying off the handle when I saw you with Eloise at Antonio. Okay, okay, so you're touchy about Eloise. Now, what's the information? Well, just a few minutes ago, a man telephoned me at my apartment. Ah. I think he was the same one who phoned you and sent the empty jewel case. What'd he say? That he knew where the diamond was and for a price would furnish the information. Ah. Now, I wonder why he suddenly switched negotiations from me to you. Well, perhaps he thought it too dangerous to continue with you. Yeah, maybe. Speaking of danger, I wish I could locate this character before something happens to him. That's the point, Mr. Dollar. I think I know where he is. How? Well, he must have placed his call to me through a switchboard because I heard an operator in the background saying Hotel Macefield. Hotel Macefield, huh? Thanks for the lead, Wentworth. I'll check with you later. I headed for the Macefield and described the man I was looking for to the desk clerk. The clerk said his name was Kraus, that he checked out that morning. This I didn't get because he'd called Wentworth from the hotel shortly before I had the clerk let me into Kraus's room, hoping I could find some lead on where he'd gone. I did a scratch page with the imprint of a pencil. Still Visible. A phone number and a name. Cathcart Hotel. I headed there fast and was referred to room 413. Hello, Krauss. There must have been mistake. My name is Carlos. Don't give me that. Your name's Krause. And you're the guy who phoned me and said he had information about that diamond. Oh, no, no, no, that's wrong. Oh, come on, let's quit playing games. When you call Wentworth. A while ago, he found out the name of the hotel. It's a lie. I haven't talked to him since. Yeah, yeah, that's what I thought. Went with Wyatt about that phone call. Why? Because he hoped I'd find you for him. But you had talked to him earlier. Yeah. The theft of that diamond was rigged between you and Wentworth, wasn't it? And you slugged him to make it look legitimate. Well, yeah, yeah, but now you're hiding from Wentworth. Why? What happened to your cozy little partnership? It was blackmail. $wentworth. Don't move, either of you. Well, Wentworth, it looks as though I figured you right. You thought I might have better luck finding Krause than you had, so you gave me his last known address and followed me. Now, what's this about blackmail? I thought I could trust you, Krause. Look, I wasn't really gonna blackmail you. You gotta believe that. I think I get it now. Krause was supposed to turn the stone over to you after a decent time had elapsed. Instead, he held onto it and tried to blackmail you about your being involved in the fake robbery. That's why he pretended to open negotiations with me. To scare you into buying. Yes, but you made a big mistake, Krause, trying to blackmail a desperate man. I had no money to pay you. I needed every cent from the insurance and from what we'd get for the stone when it was cut and sold. Why, Wentworth? Why'd you need the money? For Eloise. For Eloise? Does she know about all this? No. No, she knows nothing about this. But she. She wants so many things. And I want to give them to her. I. I've got to. I've got to. To hold onto her brother. Oh, you wouldn't understand. You don't know what it's like when a girl like that gets into your blood. You're willing to. To do anything like a couple of murders. Wentworth. You willing to add them to your list, too? Yes. Yes, I am. Oh, now, look, put that thing down. Why don't you stop kidding yourself about eloise? She loves me. $I tell you, she loves Me? Are you kidding? She told me what she loves. Mink and money. How long do you think she'd stick with you after the money ran out? Get back. Stay where you are. You're a thief and a fool, Wentworth, but you're not a killer. Stay away. So you just better give me that gun right now. Thanks. You're right about Eloise. I guess I always knew it, but I just. I just couldn't face it. You just did. And you were right about me, Dollar. I'm no killer. You want to know something, Wentworth? I wasn't sure about that. At expense account total, including the trip home, $146 even remarks. Kraus handed over the diamond. He and Wentworth are both in custody. It was Wentworth who beat up Mantel for hanging around Eloise. And Eloise. Last I heard, she was going her merry way, having fun, as she calls it. I never did accept her invitation to join her after the diamond had been recovered. And I'm not about to. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Our star will return in just a moment. Our flag now numbers 50 stars and behind each star there stands yet another flag representing one of the 50 states. The origin of Hawaii state flag has been the subject of much debate. It is now believed that it was the work of foreign advisors to King Kamehameha. Legend also has it that it was designed at the request of King Kamehameha by George Beckley, an English sea captain. The flag consists of eight horizontal and alternating stripes of white, red and blue, representing the eight major islands in the chain. Also represented is the British Union Jack, a reminder of Captain Vancouver, who, on his voyage around the world in 1794, gave King Kamehameha a British flag and the promise of British protection. The Union Jack is also a reminder of Captain James Cook, who discovered the Hawaiian Islands in 1778. Hawaii state flag, the flag of the 50th state to enter the Union, was adopted in 1845. Now, here is our star to tell you about next week's story. Next week. Well, the title of the yarn is the Ghost to Ghost Matter, and the story lives up to it. So join us, won't you?

Welcome back. So once again we get a gold digger. Though in some ways, Eloise is a bit of a figure ahead of her time, she was what we might call in modern parlance an ethical gold digger. Who lets you know that she was a gold digger. At least she was electively ethical. She let Johnny know that she was a gold digger. She may have let Wentworth know and he was just not broad enough to notice. Of course, ethical gold diggers are a rare breed, and there's a reason for that, because admitting to being a gold digger kind of kills the game. And that's true for gold diggers of either sex. I mean, what she did would be the equivalent of a man today admitting to being only interested in beer and PlayStation games. So no points to Johnny for not being interested. He seemed awfully proud of not following up with a woman who told him that she was really just interested in his expense account. I'm also not sure what the point of beating up Mantell was unless it was just a random thing that happened. And that does happen in big cities. Even back in 1958, certainly. And then of course, you have another tease for the next week's episode titled the Ghost to Ghost Matter, and we'll have to find out whether Johnny is right that it lives up to its name or dies down to it, I guess. All right, well, listener comments and feedback and we've got some comments on YouTube regarding the wayward Trout Matter. We start with Mark, who notes Los Angeles. The older pronunciation was pre present in this particular episode, and that is an interesting point. Now, those who've been listening a while will remember an episode of Dangerous Assignment we played about a year and a half or two years ago where it was mentioned that the decision had been reached and I think it was in 1952 that Los Angeles was the official pronunciation, but old habits die hard for many people. Reincerratz Love the interaction between Johnny and Buster. These two seem to really like working together, and I think that there really is some fun energy between Bob Bailey and Barney Phillips. And you can hear that in a lot of the Pre Buster Faber Johnny $5 part. And so you kind of get the feeling that the recurring role of Buster was created to kind of harness that and to give Johnny this sort of unique friend who can act as a partner from time to time. And in other listener comments, I'm actually surprised there isn't some kind of classic noir movie and radio detective conventions. There are soap operas, Hallmark Christmas movies, and game show conventions. Why not a classic movie and radio noir detective convention? Well, thanks so much for the comment. In many ways it just comes down to finding the combination. There are plenty of mystery conventions out there. A lot of them tend to be geared more towards writers. There's some fans that go, but there's a huge professional development element for mystery writers. There is also a convention called Noircon being held in Palm Springs October 23rd to 26th. Kind of interesting. It's actually a biannual conference, and as someone who actually organized small writers conferences, I like the idea of a biannual conference because it's kind of exhausting when you do the annual event because once you the way it works, essentially you begin really soon after the end of the last event planning for the next one. So the idea of taking a year between sounds great, but anyway, there is Noir Con over in Palm Springs and they have a focus on books and films but nothing on radio. So you have a convention there that's pretty close. They just need to incorporate the radio element. But with a lot of things it's just a matter of who's organizing it and how they see the connection. Thanks so much for the comment. I did not actually know about Norcon until I started researching your questions, so I appreciate you bringing it up. And this one comes from, I think Scala. I'm probably mispronouncing that, but she writes and this one is on Facebook. Regarding the Eastern Western matter, I'm sure someone mentioned this to you already, but I had to chuckle when you wondered who would take a sled to Florida. As a native Floridian who moved to Georgia, my dad told me they sledded on cookie sheets and cardboard boxes. Obviously this worked better for small children. Thank you for all the great shows. I learn a lot and enjoy so much about your podcast. Well, thank you so much. I appreciate it and really was actually a unique comment and so I was glad to learn that from you. Well, now it's time to thank our Patreon supporter of the day and I want to thank Matthias, patreon Supporter since May 2024, currently supporting the podcast at the Detective Sergeant level of $7.14 or more per month.

Lieutenant Berman, out of your window. Yeah, what about it? In those green, green forests, as you may know, still roam the ancient peacocks and the sacred elephants of Siam. Louie, I may as well tell you right now there are four things I know definitely about your country. What are these, my friend? The Siamese twins were named Eng and Chang. Siamese cats have blue eyes. Somebody wrote a book called Hannah and the King of Siam. And what is the fourth? Tan Yak dai fuying Mai. The one line I know of your language, which translated means do you want a meet a girl? Well, rest easy. There will be no need for you to speak more of the language. Must a ghost have need of words? Once we arrive at Bangkok, you will be spirited from one place to another, my friend. As a ghost, fasten your seat belt. Kindly fasten your seat belt. We are coming into the Dun Muang Fi. So far this has been too easy for Rangoon. To a secret airport in Siam where you pick me up in this plane. And here we are in Bangkok. Is this another hidden field, Louie? No, not exactly. What do you mean not exactly? Oh, I should say There are about 800 Japs on hand about the field, huh? Fasten your seatbelt, Lieutenant.
