2:02
the brand I use in my beef cattle is a lazy JD. Yeah,

2:16
I listened to your radio program every week, all those insurance cases you

2:23
I thought the lazy JD being your initials too, and all the local
2:28
color out here, and well, maybe you'd like to come and get some
2:31
local atmosphere or what are your starting Oh no, wait a minute, mister
2:35
Dnham, If you have some insurance matter you'd like me to investigate? Oh
2:38
no, no, I told you why I thought you ought to come,
2:39
so can you right away? You sure there's nothing wrong out there? No,
2:45
Like I said, A lot of local color, A nice place to
2:46
stay at the ranch, how about it? Well, I've a couple of
2:51
days work on some reports to finish up. Then right after that, huh
2:53
oh, good good, I'll be waiting for you. Goodbye. Oh look,
2:59
and everything's really okay. Huh right, mister Denham, I think you're
3:07
lying through your teeth. Bob Bailey and The Exciting Adventures of the Man with
3:19
the Action Fact expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator is truly Johnny Dollar.
3:30
Now act one of yours, Truly Johnny Dollars. Expense account submitted by
3:49
Special Investigator Johnny Dollar the tri Western Life and Casually Insurance Company, Home Office,
3:53
Denver, Colorado. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation
3:59
of the Bumsteer matter. Expense account out of one three seventy long distance call
4:08
to hal Vursky, my contact to try Western and Denver. Johnny good to
4:13
hear Brodian, you want this neighborhood. No, I'm still in Hartford,
4:15
Hell. I want you to okay. An expense account for me. Well,
4:18
now that depends. Listen, you know a client of yours for the
4:21
name of Jake Denham. Yes, as I recall, he owns a big
4:25
cattle ranch over here, the little town of Craig. Huh, Gary's a
4:28
straight life for something like forty fifty thousand. Well, look, I got
4:30
a phone call from him begging me to come out there and see him.
4:33
Oh, something wrong, he says, not, but I don't believe it.
4:36
Do you any reason to think something is wrong? Well, only the
4:40
half baked excuse he gave me for wanting to see me. Look, now,
4:43
I realize this is just a hunch, but certainly sounds like it to
4:46
me. But my hunches have saved your company a lot of dough on occasion.
4:48
So how about it. Okay, put it this way, if you
4:53
run into something out there and clear it up, we'll pay the break and
4:56
not well, you just go ahead and have yourself a vacation at your own
5:00
expense. Oh, now, why don't you relax that iron grip on the
5:03
purse strings for a change? What what would you do? Okay? Okay,
5:08
But I warn you how if this does turn into a case for your
5:11
company, my expense account is going to knock you right off your feet.
5:15
Bye bye, Johnny. It took me nearly four days to clare if the
5:21
reports I had to finish. I wish now it happened that I had left
5:25
Hartford immediately expense account had them two one hundred and thirty three dollars plain flair
5:30
and all the incidentals I could think of. Hartford to Denver. I got
5:32
there shortly after seven am. I had them three fifty dollars deposit on a
5:36
drive your own car, in which I promptly headed north and west on Highway
5:40
forty. That is, after getting out of the traffic in Denver itself.
5:44
And believe me, that town hasn't. The two hundred mile drive to Craig
5:47
was routine, except for the lush green hills, the snowtop mountains, the
5:53
vast meadows and forests. Colorful Colorado they call it, and it's sure it
5:58
is. Finally, about noon, I pulled in the Craig and stopped at
6:01
the Cosgrive Hotel for lunch. That's not him. Four three fifty. From
6:05
the waitress, I got directions to the Lazy JD Ranch, about eight miles
6:10
out on the Amber River, just off Route seven. Eight nine. You
6:13
want some dessert? Oh no, thanks, this is fine. Hey you
6:18
one of the relatives. Relatives, how stars that you're too late? Too
6:23
late for what? It was real beautiful though half the town turned out,
6:27
but most of the big ranchers. What are you talking about? Oh my
6:30
gosh, it's a too one thirty. Look, I'm not supposed to be
6:31
on duty now, and I got a date with my bike friends. They
6:34
well out a second just paid a cashier in the law. But look,
6:39
okay, I paid my check to the cashier, went out to my car,
6:47
climbed in and headed for the lazy JD. That must have been several
6:51
thousand acres to the ranch, all rich, green, healthy looking pasture.
6:57
Land lord knows how many ahead of beef fantels. The main ranch house was
7:00
a rather small but well kept. It fair and he had a gate to
7:03
the roads in the highway. And then I saw it, a long piece
7:16
of black crape hanging on the door front. Yes, how do you do?
7:29
My name is Dollar, Johnny Donner, Oh, Johnny Dollars. Why
7:33
didn't you come before? What he begged you to come to me, to
7:36
come right away? Yes, but I told him, why didn't you you
7:41
might have saved him. Saved him, Yes, saved him. We buried
7:45
him this morning, and I think he was murdered. Act two of yours,
8:03
truly, Johnny Dollar in a moment. The American writer Christopher Morley once
8:09
wrote, when you sell a man a book, you don't sell him just
8:13
twelve ounces of paper, ink and gloom. You sell him a whole new
8:18
way of life unquote. Now that goes double when you give not sell a
8:24
book, but the gift of five hundred and fifty books the little children increases
8:31
the legacy tenfold. Near the end of nineteen sixty, the employees of the
8:37
Chase Manhattan Bank started a Peopled People program with such a gift to school children
8:43
of a town in Tanganyika. It's on the southeast coast of Africa. And
8:48
I'll give you an idea how the books were received by the children. Let
8:52
me first quote from Francis Bacon. He's an English writer of a few centuries
8:56
back. He said, some books are to be tasted, others to be
9:01
swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. In the past,
9:09
children in Tanganyika may have done a little tasting and chewing and a little swallowing
9:13
and digesting that there's one certain thing. They wound up devouring the books they
9:20
received from the United States, and they did so much of it that they
9:26
the ones in high school anyway, were able to reach the level of English
9:30
children their age and pass the exams at the same time. It takes a
9:35
lot of book learning, As they said, the gift of these books from
9:39
the United States of America may have seen a small thing to the senders,
9:45
but the boys in Tanganyika who received them know that they've opened a whole new
9:50
way of life. They've greatly increased understanding in the classroom of freedom, the
9:56
right of all men everywhere, and no two of yours truly. Johnny Dollar
10:01
and the bum steer Mutter. The tall, beautiful girl standing in the doorway
10:07
of the ranch house with the lazy jd outside of Craig Colorado was dressed in
10:11
black. The right about her eyes showed that you've been crying, but there
10:16
were no tears in them now, Jake Jennaen was my father, mister Dollar,
10:20
I'm Virginia. And do you think he was murdered? Why do you
10:22
think he called and begged you to come out here? Any idea who might
10:26
have done it. Yes, Big Mike, Mike crazy. He owns to
10:30
see Lucky Star and one Stone every other ranch around here, and he will
10:33
unless somebody stops him. How did your father die? And track? That's
10:37
what they said it was. I thought that was a disease of cattle people
10:41
too, They get infected from the cattle, and that's what happened to your
10:45
father, That's what they say. But there's no amtracks around here. Our
10:48
ranch is clean. Look, let's go inside and sit down and talk about
10:50
this. Sure, I'll talk about it. Only somebody will listen here,
10:56
Johnny Nice, Are you all alone? Now that Dad's gone? He and
11:01
I ran the ranch. Now it's up to me with you. Virginia,
11:07
were you trying to tell me out there that you think somebody tried to infect
11:09
your herd with anth rex? What would you think? Who is your father's
11:13
doctor? Doctor Regis Ross from in town? Who are you? My name
11:18
is Dollar Insurance investigating. So you fellas like pretty fast? Don't you sometimes?
11:24
Doing all right? Now? Honey? I guess so? I told
11:26
the hands if you're in full charge now, they'll take their orders from you
11:31
or from me's from sure? Sure, I guess that's best, thank you
11:35
to They might as well get used to it because after we're married. Look,
11:39
honey, why wait any longer. I know this is a bad time
11:43
to talk about it, but I also know and you know that this is
11:46
no time for you to try to go it alone. It's what about your
11:48
medical school? I'll give it up. This is a lot more important than
11:54
you're a lot more important. Oh look, Jenny, you stalled me for
11:58
a long long time. I know, Pete, because don't you see I
12:03
can run this ranch alone. No, you need me, honey, and
12:07
I'm here to help you. Do you know how Dad felt sure that all
12:11
I wanted was this ranch, the same as he felt about anybody else who
12:13
ever came here. Just who are you, Pete? This is Pete Tram
12:16
johnny Man fiance? I guess that's right. Didn't I see a Kermer ranch
12:22
on the way out here? A small one? That's right? My pause,
12:24
he's Karl Kremer. Or what do you think caused the death of Virginia's
12:28
dad? Just what everybody says, mister Donnar galloping anthrax from that Herford?
12:33
Then why did he send for mister Dollar to come? I'm afraid we'll never
12:37
know, honey, Well I do. It's because he knew something was going
12:41
to happen to him. Where is that stair now? Buried on orders from
12:45
the VET and the State inspector. Mister dollar, Now, you said investigator,
12:52
hadn't you better talk to doctor Ross? Yeah? I guess, so
12:56
let me have his address. Sure, I'll write it down for it.
13:00
And while you're at it, tell me where I can find the veterinarian.
13:05
And that's stayed inspected too, huh? Sure? Why not? When I
13:13
left them a few minutes later, people was still making it quiet. But
13:16
I must say effective pitch for Virginia's hands expense con had him five ten cents
13:22
from a phone call to the state infector. He told me he'd never seen
13:26
the infected steer on the lazy JD, but he was confined to his bed
13:30
at the time. I called the vet's office and he was expected back shortly.
13:35
So I sat around a hotel lobby and glanced over some magazine and then
13:39
in one of them I found an article that made my eyes fairly pop out
13:43
of my head. I had them six. I called the VET again.
13:45
He was in. He taught me this entire essterday. I was about to
13:50
drive over to the Sea Lucky Star range for dinner. Mike Craven and I
13:54
old friends, that's all. Yes, it was in his new room together
13:56
at college. Oh, I see, I understand you other man who spotted
14:01
the anthrax out of the Lazy d yes, it is well just that one
14:05
heard it. Oh, never got the human. I'll never know the rest
14:07
of that herds absolutely clean that pool. Jake Denham too, You think he
14:13
became infected from that steer? Well, how else could it be? Galloping
14:18
end trucks? Doctor? Where is that steer buried? You know I had
14:22
it buried myself. It's some miles out in the far corner of the Lazy
14:26
JD property and fall in the Sea Lucky Star and call out your dinna date.
14:31
You and I are going out to take a look at that carcason.
14:33
Well no, just imagine, investigator, did you say? That's right?
14:39
I suppose you have some power what I don't have I can get. Tell
14:45
me, doctor, is there some reason why you don't want me to see
14:48
the carcass of that Steer's let's go along the way. We've pick up two
15:00
fellows who were handy with pick and shovel, it was almost dark now,
15:03
so I bought a couple of powerful flashlight in one of the local hardware stores
15:07
that item seven nine twenty five. It took a couple of hours for the
15:11
two men to dig down to the carcass of the steer, but they finally
15:15
exposed one flank of the unfortunate animal. Yeah, so you you sure planet
15:18
this critter, deep doc part. I mean, give us a few more
15:22
minutes. We were having no wait, Chris Dollar, come down here into
15:28
the hole. Sure, Oh, what's the man that the color of that
15:37
Caucasus and understands what are you talking about? This doesn't make sense. The
15:43
deteriation, cutrefaction, it always occurs, and it simply isn't here. You
15:50
mean, it's possible that was an anthrax killed this steer, But I'm sure
15:54
that all the symptoms, the swillings in the subcuctenus connected tissues in the interstices
16:02
of the muscles and emphatic glens in the membranes of the mountain too. They
16:07
were all there, and they were a demothist too. But some poison have
16:12
possibly produced those symptoms. Look, I read in the magazine this afternoon that
16:18
strictly often produces symptoms very much like those of tetanus. Lock yow is that's
16:22
true? Are a poison that would good heaven? Yeah? Well I haven't
16:27
heard of it since my college days. Quintennigen souliphigh? But why good question?
16:36
No dollar, because it wouldn't explain me the death of old Jake Denham
16:40
If it was anthex? I was he poisoned? Too? Good heavens?
16:44
You mean you doctor? The brand on the rump of this animal, Well,
16:48
that's Denham's own brand of lazy Ja. Yeah, but it looks to
16:51
me like it was put on over another brand. Yes, yes, sure
16:56
right? Any way of finding out what the original brand was? No?
17:00
Yes, yes, missus Allen the other side the inside of a hide might
17:04
short and doctor, you've got a skinning job to do? Hand me murs
17:08
bag there, okay, here go to a doctor. Kid that poisons?
17:15
How much to infect a man? Even a small scratch on the skin,
17:19
it's sore of enough to be fatal. No wonder the doctor Ross Ross was
17:25
the one who treated taken him. No wonder we couldn't understand why death came
17:29
to Wow? Can you see what the original brand was? Yes? Yes,
17:37
like phrase, sue, let me hold the line up. Oh,
17:44
I see, but I can't believe it, mister Doll. Pretty clear though,
17:48
isn't it. See Lucky Star act free of yours truly Johnny Dollar.
17:59
In a moment a couple of thousand years ago, the ancient sage Diogenes remarked
18:04
that all things are in common among friends. Ali didn't mean that only material
18:11
goods were in common among friends, but that they shared their troubles as well.
18:17
For a long time, the United States Armed Forces have been a friend
18:21
in time of need, during fires, floods, and pestilence all over the
18:26
world. Many peoples of the earth have come to believe in the friendship which
18:30
the U. S. Military personnel have spread for so many years, and
18:36
the calls for help they answer in time of personal emergency, a response which
18:41
has always been immediate. Not long ago, a Korean Buddhist nun was suffering
18:48
from berry berry, an advanced form of acute malnutrition. But she was living
18:52
in an isolated monastery deep in the Korean hills and valleys. Her sister nuns
18:57
contacted the nearest Army Signal Corps relay station, and wheels began turning. In
19:04
no time. An Army helicopter landed at the station's helipad. American soldiers carried
19:11
the stricken nun to the copter. She was flown to a waiting ambulance and
19:15
whisked away to the hospital. Her recovery was rapid thanks to the United States
19:22
Army, her new found friends. Army helicopter men helped in many other ways.
19:27
Over the one hundred eight islands of the Ryukus that spread from southern Japan
19:33
to northern Formosa, Army helicopters are constantly whirling their blades as they hop from
19:38
one island to another on missions of mercy. They bring food donated by American
19:44
women on Okinawa, or they bring vital medicine to save a life. They
19:49
also bring friendship, an understanding, and freedom, the right of all men
19:56
everywhere, no act free of your yours coolly, Johnny Dollar and the bum
20:02
steer matters right. Looks pretty bad, doesn't the mister Dallar, Yeah,
20:15
Doc, And looks as though this Herbert Steele was brought over from the sea.
20:18
Lucky Star was rebranded with a lazy JD was given the poison and make
20:22
it look like a dynamanthraxis. But Mike Curven wounds the sea, lucky Star.
20:26
I know him Dollar, knowing the members is our college days, medical
20:30
college. Oh no, this during the preparatory years. But Dug Mike couldn't
20:34
have done a pig lankers. Big Mike has wanted to get his hands in
20:37
the Lazy JD for years. There's the course of a lot of other big
20:41
ranches. But I'd just take my life on it. He'd never do it.
20:45
Wait, wait, wait, you should have taken that left turn to
20:47
get to the sea, Lucky time. That's not where we're heading. Well
20:49
then where if I remember correctly, it's this road to the right here.
20:53
Well, you mean the k barcade got any fetter iteas ranch House has done,
21:07
It won't be for long. But you call this a good ranch?
21:11
Don you? Who Carl is from? Just a hangar around? He hasn't
21:15
made the place paved on out there? Who is it Johnny Dollar, Pete?
21:22
Oh, I want to talk to you. Oh, George, will
21:26
I'll be right down. Come on, doctor, let's see how the light
21:36
sweet the flash. I'll do, and we're going on upstairs. Wait down
21:41
there, I'll be right down. We'll be right up. Well, now,
21:42
wait a minute, if you don't mind. Wow, wow, wow,
21:47
nice place you have up here. Look, I asked you to wait
21:49
down, doctor Cummings. I'm shiry. Ho'd you make up? Was Virginia
21:55
denhim Pete invincent to marry Inn? That's not your business, mister Dollar.
22:00
I got what do you want? Pretty nice ranch? To get your hands
22:03
on that lazy JD. I beg your Pardoner combination bedroom and study. As
22:10
Virginia told you, I've been going to college. Yeah, medical school,
22:15
I said, A books you have here? Of course I'll have to give
22:18
that up now. Well you're going to have to give up a lot of
22:22
things. What where did you get at, Pete? I wasn't even that
22:26
stuff? Doctor twim Tannage's sofa? What do you know about? Well,
22:33
I don't know what you're talking about? Then? Why the marker in this
22:34
book on toxicology? That was the folliest thing to do, Pete dead give
22:40
away? I told you, I don't know what you're talking about. Yep,
22:45
right here Canagan stuff I had never heard of there lying Peach No giving
22:52
it that Herbert was probably a cinch. Listen to you, But how did
22:56
you give it to Jake Tennam? Dollar? That's something you'll never live to
23:02
know. I'm gonna put that thing away. I'll stand back, I said,
23:06
Look, I get oh nime stock. I guess he'd forgotten all about
23:15
you until he landed that share and his head. Yes, yes, suppose
23:21
I'll have to patch this patch. Oh absolutely, you don't have to look
23:27
nice for the trial, won't he do? Expense a cont hatem eight fifty
23:36
five ninety five living expenses in Craig while waiting for the autopsy on Jake Denham,
23:41
And yes, the same drug was used on him as on the Herbert
23:44
Steer. A small bottle of the rere drug was found in pete Kermis trunk.
23:48
So Pete's not only lost a chance for a nice ranch, but for
23:52
living very long expense a con total including incidentals and fairback to Hartford six eighteen
23:57
fifty. On second thought, how's about just sending that check to the community
24:03
chest. Then I'll feel a little better about this case and about myself To
24:11
yours truly, Johnny Dallar. And now here's our star to tell you about
24:26
next week. Story Next week an old ghost town out in Montana, but
24:32
one of the ghosts carries a thirty eight coat. Join us won't you Yours
24:36
Truly Johnny Dollar? Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey, originates in
24:45
Hollywood. It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who also wrote tonight's
24:48
story. Heard in our cast were Virginia Greg Geane Tatum, Will Wright,
24:52
Jack Edwards, Howard mcneer, Sam Edwards, and Boris Lewis. Be sure
24:56
to join us next week, same time and station, or another exciting story
25:00
of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Dan Cumberly speaking, This is the United States
25:19
Armed Forces Radio and Television Service, Welcome back. Wow. I have to
26:48
admit that the beginning of this episode, with somebody actually calling Johnny up because
26:56
they had heard him on the radio program, it had to be one of
27:00
the most surreally. Word that is often used for more modern shows is meta
27:08
moments in UH I've had while listening to a radio program. The idea of
27:15
somebody being a fan of the show and actually calling Johnny Dollar to come out
27:21
and solve their problem is it's It's just wow that that was an amazing opening.
27:30
Now, I should say that Johnny Dollar is not the only program UH
27:37
to make reference to having a radio program. Many of course followed the format
27:45
of being a bit of a retelling of things that had happened. But this
27:52
is probably one case where they were very much where people are aware of it.
27:57
And this is the second time, but this was hardly This was a
28:03
lot more explicit, you know, right off the bat, listen to the
28:07
radio program would you like to come out to My Ranch? And I think
28:11
that the case was very cleverly done. But this was one where pretty much
28:21
as soon as we met the boyfriend, I was kind of like, Okay,
28:27
so how did he commit the murder? This was just a matter of
28:32
guessing, but it was solidly solved and I did like at the end the
28:37
you know. And this is the second fee that Johnny has given to the
28:42
community Chess campaign, but this one I think for a different reason. I
28:48
think that Johnny felt bad about what happened with the man who called him and
28:52
didn't want to take on payment for it, even though I don't think I
29:00
think it was really Johnny's fault. Well, Johnny sensed that something was going
29:07
on, he did have some other things to finish up, and he worked
29:12
quite a ways just on a hunch. But I think that does show Johnny's
29:18
general heart attitude, and I think it's definitely a good thing in one of
29:25
those reasons why we lock him so much. All right, Well, onto
29:30
listener comments and feedback, and we begin with a comment from Joan regarding the
29:37
ideal vacation matter. She says, it was a great show. I was
29:41
really surprised when you said the cleverness of the solution, which you definitely see
29:45
coming, because all the way along I kept on saying to myself the ideal
29:49
vacation was just to stay home. Ideal vacation because no one would ever think
29:55
of looking for him at home. A great show, Adam, as all,
30:00
Adam, you are the best at finding and presenting to us shows that
30:03
will hold our interest right to the end. Well, thanks so much,
30:08
John, And I guess I was a victim of misdirection because while I would
30:17
myself probably prefer a stay home vacation, they threw up so many things to
30:22
suggest that he had gone somewhere very nice and where there were going to be
30:26
a lot of girls, and to find out that he just stayed home,
30:36
and yeah, fool everybody. Yeah, it was not something I was expecting
30:40
at all, So they definitely got one over on me. Also, a
30:48
comment from Bobby Lee who says it was a great, simple story. And
30:53
then we also had a comment just on Johnny Doller in general from when who
31:00
says, I'm a young man in my early twenties. After months of listening,
31:03
I'm finally caught up on yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. It may
31:07
sound strange, but I found Johnny Doller has had a big influence on my
31:12
ideas of manliness and how a man should be. That maybe one reason I
31:17
enjoy it so much. Who knew I could learn so much from a fictional
31:19
character. Keep up the good work and thanks for all you do well.
31:23
And I think that at other times, I think, particularly during the Golden
31:30
Age, there was more of that idea of the heroes representing ideal of goodness
31:45
and manliness. And of course there were some that are were kind of silly
31:53
or even a cartoonish, and that's kind of what our culture remembers, somebody
32:00
who's just, you know, totally totally brawling or bland and with no real
32:15
show of emotion. But I think that there were characters who were very well
32:20
craft and well created, and certainly Johnny Dollars Bob Bailey is one of them.
32:24
And there's I think a great deal of balance about the character. He's
32:30
obviously not a perfect human being, but he's got a great balance of compassion
32:37
and toughness. It's something I actually write about in my ebook a little bit
32:44
in regards to Joe Friday too, But I think with Johnny dollars a balance
32:49
it's even stronger and mixing in having these different things at work in his life.
32:57
And certainly, you know, if you're looking for a role model or
33:00
a picture of what a man could be, if you could do a lot
33:04
worse than Johnny Dollar, particularly in today's culture. All right, well,
33:10
that will actually do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with Dragnet
33:16
and then join us next Friday for another episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
