Latest / Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — Mandel Kramer Era (1961–1962)
The Monticello Mystery Matter
Aired: Nov 5th, 1961. Johnny Dollar is summoned to a secluded, lake-front hunting lodge in the Catskills at the personal insistence of Rudy Techler, husband of an heiress to a steel and oil fortune — though nobody, including the insurance agent who sent him, seems to know why. What starts as a scenic detour into some of the best bass fishing Johnny's ever seen quickly hints at deeper, more troubling currents beneath the wealthy couple's idyllic retreat. It's a slow-burn mystery steeped in old money, isolation, and unspoken motives.
