1:03
Dollar. The original air date February twenty third of nineteen fifty eight, and
1:08
the title is The Durango Laramie Matter Time No. Four Johnny Dollar. George
1:19
read Johnny Deployd's of England. Oh y, George, do you any chance
1:23
remember Durgo Laramie Dalhart from that place out in Oklahoma with a crazy name of
1:27
bum Spung. That's right now, Johnny, How could I ever forget him?
1:30
And more to the point, has he ever forgiven you? Forgiven me?
1:34
After all, you were the one who accused him of passing counterfeit money.
1:38
And I'll get his wash and start and iron a few one hundred dollars
1:41
bills to make him look nice and new and crisp. I'm quite trying to
1:44
admit I was entirely wrong about him that way. Hey, tell me,
1:46
does he still pay his premiums in brand new money and in prison? Yes?
1:49
And that's what has me worried. How do you mean, Well,
1:52
he wrote me some time ago and said he'd be here on the tenth of
1:56
last month to pay his regular forty five hundred dollars premium hit the last Well,
2:00
that's nearly six weeks ago exactly, and he hasn't appeared. Well,
2:04
did you're right, or Warren? To see what's hiding him up? I
2:07
got no answer, Johnny. I think something's happened to him. After all,
2:10
with the way he flashes money around. It's a wonder if somebody hasn't
2:14
knocked him out long before this, George, if anything's happened to old Durrango
2:16
Laramie downhard? Yeah, I thought you'd feel that way about it. Yeah,
2:22
I'll let you know what I find out when I get to If you'll
2:23
pardon the expression, bomb spun. Bob Bailey and The Exciting Adventures of the
2:37
Man with the Action Packed Expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Here that's
2:43
truly Johnny Dollar, and now act one yours, truly Johnny Dollar. Expense
3:01
account submitted by a special investigator, Johnny Dollar to Floyd's of England, American
3:06
Office, Hertford, Connecticut. Following is thecount of expenses incourage during my investigation
3:10
of the Durango Lara may matter. George Reid has quite a pension for handing
3:17
me really off beat cases, but for once this looked like serious business expense
3:23
account out of one ninety four to twenty transportation. I arrived at Enid,
3:27
Oklahoma, shortly after four am. I'd him two or buck eighty five for
3:30
breakfast. I had him three fifty dollars to posit on a rental car.
3:34
I headed due north on Highway eighty one across some of the planets plains country
3:38
I've ever seen that I hadn't expected to see again so soon. About twenty
3:42
sixty seven miles further on, after crossing what remains on the Salt Fork of
3:45
the Arkansas, I spotted the familiar weather beaten sign indicating that bum Spung was
3:50
somewhere up a rough dirt road to the left bum spug named by the Indians
3:54
it means bad water. And finally there was the same old broken wooden thing
4:00
surrounding a couple of acres of poor sandy ground, the same ramshackle house,
4:03
the broken down barn propped up in spots with timbers, and in the yard
4:09
were the same two sad looking cause I've seen on my previous visit this way
4:13
back horse and a friendly mangy toothless sounds, some decrepit looking chickens from spun
4:17
so called ranch of Durrango Laramie dell Hart, who'd made it in oil,
4:21
and who chose to settle down on this lonely desolate spot, And standing there
4:26
looking at it, it was sorry to believe that the inside of the huge,
4:29
unfaded house was clean, modern, well furnished, thanks to his niece
4:32
Carol, who occasionally came up to see the old man. As I swung
4:35
aside the sagging wire gate, I wondered if she was here. Now,
4:40
I wondered if anyone was here, but not for long. Durrangle, Durragle.
4:46
It's Johnny Dollar yay outside that ranch this ar now right a minute,
4:56
you're not Drango. I came here to see drangle Laramie Dell. Oh,
5:00
well the right way here. Now look you you shut up that right away
5:05
from here? You see you shut up thirty drive away after your blown a
5:14
hole on one of my tires. I h I guess that one's very sociable.
5:19
Now, hey, look, lower that gun from it. No,
5:23
you don't know you don't you try anything funny, and I'll let you have
5:27
it for me. I guess you did up to me to picture up their
5:30
attire for you. Et it? Huh? After all, as long as
5:34
I done it, let me take a look and make sure you'll just staying
5:40
up to something crick here. But I am okay just to be that gun
5:43
out? Oh no, you go okay? Now, Hawaiian, what are
5:48
you doing here? And where's the wrango? Very Humpadney shot a pack of
5:54
punch? That's talking, mister Hawaii Where am I? Sorry? Why the
5:58
woolson? That's who I am? Who do you think? Who are you?
6:00
Johnny Dollar Insurance investigator? What are you doing here? Well? Am
6:04
I du here? Why? Old Drango sent me a telegram? That's why?
6:08
Yeah? Sure here here now read it for yourself. So mister sidewinder
6:15
Wilson Gunside all field somewheres near the Petterdale River, Texas. That's where the
6:20
field is, and that's where I got this telegram. Get yourself up here
6:25
to pump spawn. That's what do you take? Take care of my ranch
6:28
for a while, and get here fast, Signed Durngle. Yeah you know.
6:31
Are you satisfied? Just who are you? Sidewinder? Who am I?
6:35
Durrangles? Oh? This mister Spenders all old him since we've written together
6:41
in the oil fields before we made his grul strike up from Coloradi. That's
6:44
cool. So when he tells me to come up here and take care of
6:46
things, I come. That's all what you expect. But now look here,
6:53
what you say? Your name is Johnny Dollar? Yeah, well there's
6:56
something I don't like about dur Angle's going away this time? What do you
7:00
mean? What do I mean? Well? I mean the way he must
7:02
have left in the powerful hurry. That's why you know Durango pretty one,
7:06
pretty good? Well? Can you see him leaving this nice house or hisn't
7:11
with all the doors and windows unlocked? He wasn't here when he went around
7:15
through, sir, he'd already went away. And and can you see him
7:18
leaving no food around for the cattle, and Matho's lim and Primo so hard
7:26
this nice old dog here, What about the tractor just sitting out down the
7:30
field plows down halfway up? Afore, what are you getting outside, Winder?
7:34
What am I getting it? I'm a say, And he must have
7:38
left all for hurry, that's all. And if you ask me, there's
7:42
something funny about it. And I don't mean funny ha ha. Yeah,
7:46
I think he got something there. You see, he was doing Highford,
7:48
Connecticut over six weeks ago. Pay ponies in shortge eh, that's right,
7:53
all loaded down with a brand new money. I bet probably I've told that
7:57
crazy old Kyle this thousand times. If you ought to go traps and all
8:01
over the country, will all that money and his kick Johnny? If he
8:05
ain't showed up the way he was supposed, he just means one solitary single
8:11
see like what sidewinder? Like what? Well? Like like somebody's waylaiden who
8:20
shacked him for his money? That's what you know? Yeah, I'm afraid
8:24
so what Sidewinder? I sure hope you're wrong. Change, I sure hope
8:30
I'm wrong. Act two of yours truly, Johnny Dollar in a moment.
8:39
And now for another episode in the life of Sergeant Donald Bellweather. My husband,
8:54
Hi, honey, you picked the winds? Your wife a sure dead
8:58
raba? How that? Oh you fixed him? Good for you, Donald,
9:01
Thank you, my dear. Well that's that now for the rains were
9:07
prepared for it. Huh. I feel better now, Oh, me too.
9:11
A driver has to see the danger if he expects to avoid it,
9:13
that's right. And also keep the back and side wind is clear, and
9:18
rain and snowy weather. That's right. Oh, how about the horn?
9:22
The horn? The horn doesn't work, sargeant. Aren't you going to fix
9:26
it? No? I don't think so, frankly, Reba, I hate
9:30
horns. Whenever there's a traffic jam, the first thing some guys do is
9:33
brother horns, which does absolutely no good. Of course, not all it
9:37
does is jar everyone's nerves. No, I don't think i'll fix though.
9:41
But now wait a minute. Done. Look, supposing we're driving along and
9:46
suddenly we see a youngster on his bicycle headed right out into the street,
9:48
sounding that horn warn him and possibly avoid a tragic accident. Yes, that's
9:54
true. Or supposing we're driving on the highway and just as we're about to
9:58
pass a car. That car decides to pull out into Arlane and pass the
10:01
car ahead of him. He obviously doesn't see us, and he won't hear
10:05
us shout. But one little beep on that horn and he'll automatically scoot back
10:09
and avoid a collision. Raba, you've convinced me, even though it can
10:15
be a nuisance, the automobile horn is in nescessory. Then you'll repair it
10:18
immediate. Oh that's my Donald, that's my doll, and no act too
10:37
off yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the Durango Laramie matter Durango Laramie dalhearts,
10:48
great old character from bum Spung, Oklahoma gone disappeared his panel. Sidewinder Wilson,
10:54
a bit of a character himself, had no idea what might have happened
10:56
to him, but hear the worst, and I had to agree that the
10:58
spears justified. Tell me this side. Why have you heard anything from Drango's
11:05
niece Carol? You mean that pretty little gal fixed up this place for him
11:09
so nice? Kind of looks after that's the one where she don't she live
11:13
down to need in it? Yes, runs again, station hits right.
11:18
Shine of the flying Red Horse Han, help me fix this tire. We'll
11:20
drive back to it. I'll help you fix the tire, but I'm staying
11:24
right here. Oh why right? Because Drangos trust me to take care of
11:28
the place. But if he does turn up, God ruin, I'll be
11:33
here to have him get in dounch with you. Okay, now let's get
11:35
this tire for no wait, look, huh see that fancy convertible coming up
11:41
the road. I not only saw the convertible, but more important, who
11:46
was in it? Who pulled up alongside the fence and stepped out. She
11:50
was twenty three or four, a tall, slim brunette wearing a neatly tailored
11:52
skirt of type fitting safflous meat trim. She looked like she just stepped out
11:58
of Child's with the ritz. I have been so breasted, Johnny, Carol,
12:03
Carol Howard, you couldn't resist Mithilda charms. I couldn't stay away just
12:09
with that. You don't like that, John, Carol O cheer, it's
12:31
all shut up sides mm hmming by going oh yeah, Carol, Carol,
12:45
isn't you going to propose? John? Where's the wrangle? Have you heard
12:48
anything from him since he left here? Six weeks ago he went to Hargreet,
12:50
but he has no ride there. Oh, now, don't you start
12:54
worrying none about old uncle Draangle. I'm from there. You here, Johnny,
12:58
I'm sure crazy old goop sitting out across the country with over fifty thousand
13:03
dollars in money in his hands, he has said enough bit And oh,
13:07
Johnny, do you think something's happened to him? Yes? Me, I
13:11
think somebody's killed him for that money. Oh no, you haven't heard from
13:15
him since he left. Only a postcard from Chicago where he stayed overnight at
13:18
some fancy hotel. And Johnny, that one was nicey oh it before he
13:24
went straight to Hartford. That real estate man was from Chicago, Cara real
13:28
estate man. Oh, he used to come out here looking for people with
13:31
oil money, tried to get dragled to invest in real estate Florida, New
13:35
England. What did his postcards say? Nothing? Really, justin he was
13:39
staying overnight and before he come back, he was gonna look at Olm's hat.
13:45
Who is all? Oh, he's always riding silly stuff like that.
13:48
I don't know, Oh, Johnny red a Redo wasn't there rest farm back
13:54
in Eni? The come on, that's where we're going. And I put
14:05
in a long distance called to Phil Avery, an old friend and international press
14:09
service, in the hope that I Drango's body had been picked up anywhere in
14:11
the country. The newest files would have some note of it. Durrango Laramie
14:15
dal Hard. That's a man's name. Yeah, Phil, doesn't mean anything
14:18
to you. I'll say this, Johnny. If a name like that and
14:20
they were coming in over the wires that certainly remembered it, but it has
14:24
not to my knowledge instantly. What's it all about? Oh, he left
14:28
here loaded with cash. Now he's disappeared. Only that he's planned to see
14:33
some guy named og Oh. For some crazy reason, he's interested in OG's
14:37
hat. Well, that's about a silliad Ong's hat. Did you say,
14:43
Oh no, you mean that rings a bell? Are you kidding? Of
14:48
course? Oh no, Phil, Oh, listen, this may be a
14:56
matter of life, or doesn't Phil? Act three of yours truly Johnny Dollar
15:16
in a moment, and now for another episode in the life of Sergeant Donald's
15:22
Bellweather. My husband, Reba Riba, what is it? Donald? Confounded
15:37
Reby. I can't find the fountain pan. I've looked all through this desk.
15:39
Here it is, dear. You must have used it as a marker
15:43
when you were reading this book. Let's see this great literary classic six gun
15:48
showdown at Powder River Gulch. All right, never mind about my reading habits.
15:52
Just look at the coverage we're going to get with this new auto accident
15:56
policy. Let's see collision fifty dollars deductible public liability, property damage, medical
16:03
benefits. In other words, we have complete coverage. That's right. Of
16:07
course, it's gonna cost us money. I'm sending the company a check right
16:11
now. Gee, it's too bad we don't live in Rhode Island. Rhode
16:15
Island because on our rate should be lower. Rhode Island has less accidents per
16:19
capita than any other states. Oh, which state has the highest? Only
16:23
see yeah, uh here it is Nevada. Nobody going. Nevada's second highest.
16:29
Alaska has the most. Really, I didn't know that. You know,
16:32
it's just too bad we can't eliminate traffic accidents completely. Not only would
16:36
it save life and land, but it'll be a lot less straight in the
16:38
pocketbook. Yeah, that's for sure. These automobile accident policies get more expensive
16:42
every year just because there's so many costly accidents. Well, I'm glad we've
16:47
got some good insurance coverage, Donald, but just remember one thing. What's
16:51
that Well, some auto accidents ruin a fender and some ruined family. That's
16:56
true, very true. But as far as I'm concerned, I don't want
16:59
an if old insurance money. I want you here at home, safe and
17:03
sound. You'll always drive carefully, won't you. That's my Donald. That's
17:11
my Donald. And now Act three of yours, truly Johnny Dollar and the
17:27
Durango lamy matter? Well, well you stop that howling and make some sense.
17:41
This could be a matter of life or Dick, that's right. You
17:49
know who he is. You know him. I don't know what they are,
18:00
but I know what it is. Huh oh, sat New Jersey?
18:06
What sure he got out of the pilot? Cranbury bark, gutry down you
18:14
Mark, I'll eat it? Are you serious? Of course? Okay?
18:18
Film, okay, Well thanks, I found part of that real estate promoters
18:23
in Chicago. We'll take the first flight we can get out of Tussa.
18:27
Come on, Carol, we're on our way. Expense of comment. I'm
18:33
four one hundred and sixty four eighty plain for an incidentals and Chicago. We
18:37
stopped over long enough to pay a brief, unpleasant visit with one J.
18:41
Harry Kramlin, real estate promoter at this office just off the loop. So
18:45
what if I did sell this dale hard character some land over in New Jersey?
18:48
What's it to you? You're trying to cut in on a good thing.
18:52
How much did you tell him, mister Kramlin? A little over thirty
18:55
five thousand dollars worth? But now he was it a lot of worthless swamp
19:00
land? He didn't seem to think so after the glowing report I gave him
19:06
because the old fool thinks his oil on ran. When if you've taken Durrangle,
19:10
Now, ain't that a name, Darngeo Laramie Dell. If he's been
19:14
chipped in this deal, would you better duck the next time you see me
19:18
coming threatening me about a cash perfectly legal deal. Oh, I'm sure it
19:22
was legal. What oil in South Jersey ran? When my warning still goes.
19:33
The next leg of our flight took us to Philadelphia. There I ran
19:37
at another car that's fifty bucks deposit item five. We drove across the Delaware
19:41
River and picked up Rout five thirty seven avon Holly. There we stop our
19:45
sandwich and a coke that'sideem six and there A passing glance at the newspaper headlines
19:48
stopped me in my tracks, something about a big oil development at Yeah,
19:53
you guessed it, at Oong's Hat. We burned up Highway five thirty to
19:59
Pemberton and then hit a sandy back road that led deep into the pine and
20:02
scrubble. Finally, suddenly we came to a clearing and there, well,
20:07
there must have been one hundred cars, expensive one some of them show fred
20:10
limousines and people milling about, hurrying each other, shutting each other down.
20:14
And right in the middle of the crowd a tall, angular man in blue
20:18
jeans and a ten gallon hats durrango, Johnny ther he here. Then I
20:23
saw something else on the edge of the clearing, two brand new towering oil
20:27
derricks. Come on, Johnny, let's give him away from that mob.
20:32
Not only was he cheated by that shyster real estate operator and they're thinking he
20:34
was buying oil land, but he's he's throwing more money away building those derricks.
20:38
Oh, John, Oh, that mob is probably trying to sell him
20:41
en up, bringing in pumps and the equipment, the fleece of royalty tender
20:45
one. Somebody in that crowd's offered in the Brooklyn Bridge to boot, then
20:48
we gotta stamp them. He had Brami shooting Marango seems shy dog hi d'rango?
21:07
Well, what's the dog? Black attorney? Can ever wrung you out

21:18
from this blast. Come if you look here, Johnny, what are you

21:27
my back and he helped. All right, get on in there now or
21:32

21:51
for, the old goot. Why don't you give me that girl? I

24:45
Bob Bailey, originates in Hollywood and is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone,
24:51
who also wrote today's story. Heard in our cast were Virginia, Greg G
24:55
Stanley Jones, Junius Matthews, Alan Reed, Frank Nelson, and John mcindone.
25:00
Be sure to join us next week, same time and station for another
25:03
exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. This is Dan Coberly speaking yours
25:26
truly. Johnny Dollar has been a presentation of the United States Armed Forces Radio
25:30
and Television Service. This is Andrew J. Graham, author of the web
26:29
surface series Oh and a Man of His Wife. You're listening to the great
26:33
Detectives of Old Time Radio. Welcome back. I've commented on this before,
26:44
but it bears repeating. The amount of continuity in this show is really incredible,
26:51
and outside of actual serialized adventures, there wasn't anything on, of course,
26:57
soapropers, there wasn't anything like this with a detective where you would keep
27:03
having so many people keep coming back, and they're such great and fun characters.
27:08
Of course, we see this as a sequel for characters who first appeared
27:12
back in episode thirteen ninety three, The Funny Money Matter, which we played
27:18
for you back in October, and definitely a welcome return. I'm a little
27:25
bit iffy on Johnny's expense account here, including land purchase that might just be
27:33
a little bit above his authority, but it was a fun episode, and
27:40
I think that it's nice showing Johnny as someone who has people, not just
27:45
that he dropped in and helped once, but people he keeps encountering and meeting
27:52
and who he just genuinely likes and cares about. It definitely adds some depth
27:57
and makes it stand out from most other detective programs in the Golden Age.
28:04
Also, I do want to comment a little bit on the PSAs. I
28:08
do hope we get a different PSA because we keep repeating the same commercials inserted
28:15
by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Service. I will say that hearing the
28:22
ad multiple times does give you a chance to think perhaps different things about it.
28:27
Like in the first Sergeant Bellwether commercial, Sergeant Bellwether's horn was busted on
28:36
his car, but he had decided that he didn't really care about repairing it
28:41
because people often used horns for annoying and counterproductive purposes in the midst of traffic.
28:48
And today, when I was listening to this, this bag to question,
28:52
So you not having a working horn on your car is going to stop
28:56
other drivers from being obnoxious? How though, I guess in the context of
29:02
making a PSA, it may be intended to speak to drivers who don't see
29:07
any reason to take care of their horns, since they just think of it
29:11
as a nuisance based on how other people use it. Now to listener comments
29:15
and feedback, and we start with a comment regarding the sick chick matter,
29:19
Ruth ellen Wright's it was so cool to hear this, and in particular to
29:25
hear the reference to the chicken expert vet identified on the show as doctor A
29:30
gold Haft. Doctor Goldhaft was a real person, Tevis Goldhlft, who was
29:36
a close family friend until his death six years ago, aged ninety five.
29:41
Tevas was one of the world's foremost experts on poultry diseases, Following in the
29:45
footsteps of his father. He was an extraordinarily nice man, though at least
29:51
in later life he reveled in telling pretty bad jokes. Well, thanks so
29:56
much for sharing. And this is just one of another. One of those
30:02
things to really like about Johnny Dollar is they often, you know, they
30:07
often find so many ways to capture, you know, all these locations that
30:14
Johnny dollars at. You know, it just be easy to say, okay,
30:17
he's going to a chicken farm, and what why not, We'll set
30:22
it in New Jersey and we'll just you know, make a bunch of stuff
30:25
off. But I think that there was a lot of care that went into
30:29
that, even getting down to details like this. So thanks so much,
30:33
Ruth Allen. And then we have a comment from Jeff who emails it,
30:37
thanks for sharing the Price of Fame episode, one of my favorite Johnny dollars.
30:42
Thanks for all your time and effort to bring this podcast to all of
30:45
your listeners. And then we have Patrick who goes back a little bit further
30:51
and says, thanks for turning me on to the shows that contributed to yours
30:55
trolley, Johnny Dollar, The Valentine Matter, which included not Beat, John
31:00
McMaster, and yours truly Johnny Dollar, The San Antonio Matter. Of course,
31:06
we haven't played the Not Beat episode, but San Antonio Matter we have,
31:10
and even that we're able to bring you a good version after the first
31:15
time we just got to play a rehearsal, So thanks so much for that
31:19
comment, Patrick, and then Victor emails in. I noticed certain distinctive recurring
31:26
voices of extras on old time radio shows like Johnny Dollar and Dragnet and Broadway
31:30
is My Beat. The one I noticed often is Howard mcneer, who is
31:34
the actor who played Floyd the Barber on the original Andy Griffiths Show. As
31:38
an expert on old time radio, I doubt I'm telling you anything you don't
31:42
already know, but it was an excuse to write your note and tell you
31:45
how much I appreciate the commentary you add to the shows you distribute. It
31:48
certainly puts your head and shoulders above the other old time radio feeds on iTunes.
31:55
Thank you, Victor, and appreciate your not And it is only interesting
32:00
to hear all the episodes that Howard mcneer appeared in. And he had quite
32:07
a career suspense the lineup United States Postal Inspector. It's hard to find a
32:13
dramatic series or he didn't have at least some impact, and he did that
32:17
without really a whole lot of variance in his voice in terms of being able
32:23
to do like unique accents or anything like that. Michael says, can't help
32:29
myself from locking Bob Bailey as a Johnny Dollar. And thanks so much for
32:35
all your comments this week, truly appreciated. We will be back tomorrow with
32:40
Dragnet and next Friday we'll be here for another adventure of that man with the
32:45
action packed expense account. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. In the meantime,
