of Yours Truly Johnny Doller. The original aired eight November the seventeenth, nineteen
1:37
fifty seven. The title The Shy Beneficiary Matter from Hollywood. It's time a
1:42
hoor Johnny Dollar, that mcgregen, Johnny Well, Hi, bad. One's
1:52
new. I've got a problem. This is news, not every time you
1:55
call me up you've got a problem. What is it this time? Johnny?
1:57
Do you ever have any trouble getting rid of getting rid of? Look,
2:00
Pat, this is the thing I do best. I'm not so here.
2:04
What do you mean? I got twenty five thousand dollars. I've been
2:07
trying to give it away for two weeks, but I can't. Just a
2:08
minute, let me take the phone for a minute. I thought you said
2:12
you're trying to give away twenty five thousand dollars and couldn't you hurt me correctly?
2:15
Boy, you have got a problem. I'll be right over. Bob
2:27
Bailey in The Exciting Adventures of a Man with the Action Packed Expense Accounts America's
2:31
fabulous freelance insurance Investigator. It is truly Johnny Dollars. Now act one enough,
2:43
You're truly Johnny Dollars. Expense Accounts Especial Investigator, Johnny Dollars, a
3:01
home office, Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hertford, Connecticut. Following is the kount
3:06
of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Shy Beneficiary Matters expense account out of
3:15
one a dollar twenty for a camp from my apartment or the offices of Universal
3:19
Adjustment, where Pat was waiting for me, looking very snyde. Oh this
3:23
is a real quick Johnny. Usually beneficiary is a beating down my door to
3:28
collect. This one is playing at real court. What's the deal? Pat?
3:30
So it starts out real simple. Two weeks ago, Miss Helen Gazeworth
3:35
died huh and chewed for twenty five thousand. Beneficiary a man named Elijah Summer.
3:38
So that's where my troubles start. No all idea. Can't locate scand
3:44
locate no trace whatsoever I ort to be done. So far for the usual
3:47
Johnny was checked death list, advertisement newspapers. All I've come up with is
3:52
nothing. Where did you advertise? New York? That's where miss Gaysworth lives.
3:55
Huh? Do you have any relatives? None, as far as we
3:58
can be Germans. Any idea who this large of Summers is or why she
4:00
picked him as beneficure up. The only lead we've got is something Miss Gay's
4:04
Worth Landlady told it. I want that. Apparently this Miss Gay's work was
4:09
something of an eccentric with the loan in a dingy apartment. Felt that the
4:14
world was pretty much against her, all except to large summers landlady heard her
4:18
mention him once or twice. It seems he's been nice to work sometime in
4:20
the past. God, I don't know neither. There was a landlady.
4:25
She have any idea where he could be what he's doing, if he's even
4:28
a lot, No, But if he is, he's entitled twenty five thousand
4:31
bucks. So we got to find him. You know, you don't have
4:33
much to go on. Pat correction, Jenny, you mean you don't have
4:39
anything to go on expens con aem two thirty six hours even transportation in accidentals
4:46
to New York City. I saw the landlady, Miss Gaysworth, had moved
4:50
in six months ago from somewhere a few blocks away. Three hours later,
4:54
I'd located this somewhere a few blocks away. There I learned only that she'd,
4:59
yep, moved in from somewhere else. If you've blocked away francily,
5:02
however, a picture arose before my mind, a sweet little old lady drifting
5:06
from place to place alone, and well I felt sorry for her. I
5:10
also felt sorry for me, because nobody along the line had ever heard of
5:13
Elijah Summers. Finally I turned up for her first land lady in New York.
5:16
He remembered Miss Gaysworth mentioning something about having come from San Francisco. She
5:21
thought item three one hundred and sixty seven dollars twenty cents plains very an incidentals
5:29
to San Francisco. I had them four nine dollars and a half newspaper as
5:31
in the San Francisco papers. Frankly, I wasn't very optimistic. But that's
5:35
where I was wrong, because the very first day I got results, the
5:45
results incidentally were blonde with brown eyes. Mister Dollar. Yeah, I'm Janet
5:51
Blade may I, Oh my thank what're gonna do for you? You're the
6:00
one who ran the ad about a larger summer? Yeah, that's right.
6:03
Has he answered? That's it? Do you have any idea where he is?
6:09
No? None at all. That's why I advertised, Look, are
6:12
you related to mister Summers. No, I'm a friend. Well, have
6:16
you any idea where he might be? Miss Blake? Have you ever heard
6:20
of a little town called Southport, California. No, it's on a Yuba
6:26
River up in the Sierras and what used to be some of the gold last
6:30
country do you think a large of Summers might be up there? Maybe?
6:34
What makes you think so? Just call it a hunt? That's an item
6:46
five twenty seven to fifty rounded car to take me to the town of South
6:49
Fork. There was just enough inhabitants to keep it from being called a ghost
6:55
town. A collection of rams, track up buildings at a fork and the
6:58
river Hamden all around with the mountain rankers. I looked up the local law,
7:00
big BP, slow talking deputy shriff, name rollin Elijah Summers. Yeah,
7:06
that's right, I'm looking for him. My name's Dollar, Johnny Dollar,
7:10
insurance investigator, looking for Lijah Summers. Huh, that's the general idea.
7:15
Well, good luck Dollar. What do you mean I tell you you
7:19
find Eliji? Let me know huh, Okay, what he's wanted for?
7:25
Murder? BacT two. If you're truly Johnny Dollar in a moment. Our
7:33
flag now numbers fifty stars, and behind each star there stands yet another flag
7:39
representing one of the fifty states. Rhode Island state flag is white with an
7:44
anchor perth. Used as a colony symbol in sixteen forty seven. The motto
7:48
hope was added in sixteen sixty four when the government was organized under a charter
7:53
from King Charles the Second. A circle of thirteen gold stars were added for
7:58
the original thirteen collar. This is the flag of a unique colony in state
8:03
which carried out a most noble experiment in freedom. The Royal Charter of sixteen
8:09
sixty three reads to hold forth a lively experiment that a most flourishing state may
8:15
stand and best be maintained with full liberty and religious concernments. Rhode Island State
8:20
Flag, the flag of the thirteenth state to enter the Union, was adopted
8:24
on May nineteenth, eighteen ninety seven. Now Act two of Your Truly Johnny
8:30
Dollar and the Shy Beneficiary matters. Now I knew why Elijah Summers was so
8:41
hard to locate it. After all, a man who's wanted for murder isn't
8:46
exactly going to make himself conspicuous. How come you want to find rise a
8:50
dollar. He's a beneficiary and a life insurance policy share of twenty five thousand
8:54
dollars. Gray the doose is not going to do him much good. Maybe
8:58
not. Oh sure, he's gonna be brought in, tried and convicted.
9:01
But I figured that's largely a question of time. When did this killing take
9:05
place? Sure? Last year he went south Fork, a ranch about three
9:09
four miles east to here at just Tyler's play is tibably the one that was
9:13
killing? Yeah, or what happened? Well, So Elijah always was a
9:18
funny old duck. Jess Tyner kept him around the place a couple of years,
9:22
sort of a hired hand. I said, from a week a piece
9:26
together, Elig and just got in an argument about some work. Eliji wasn't
9:30
doing very good. Eligi went from crazy shot justs and took off in the
9:33
hills. I said, yes, it's weird. It took it pretty hard
9:37
for the better part of a year, and I guess it's been watched.
9:41
Finally pulled out of it. This marriage just a month ago. See and
9:46
Ben are living on the ranch straight out of town the east. Up on
9:50
a ride, came miss it Cigure, I'm going out there. Yeah,
9:54
I thought I might do you any idea where Elijah might have gone matter offense.
9:58
They're gonna pretty good ideas. Yeah. Well, the next range mountains
10:03
is a place called tough Luck Canyon. A couple of hermits in their pan
10:07
and golds go well, they get maybe three four bucks worth a day enough
10:11
to live on. Now, I got me a hunt to line. Just
10:15
hold up somewhere in there. Have you been up there after these three times?
10:22
Wow? So he's got to be careful. Elijah's main shot with the
10:26
thirty thirty. Yes, Tara found that out, Sid. There's lots of
10:31
places up in there for man to hide. So you've given up on him,
10:37
dollar. I don't give up on no man. And Elijah stays up
10:41
there long enough, he's going to get care of. One of these times
10:45
I go up there, I'll get him. I got into my car and
10:52
drove out to the Pine of Ranch where his little Clara and her new husband
10:54
Ben watch a living. They were expecting me there. Rollin spoomed you were
11:00
coming, mister Dolla, guide out. If there as much we can add
11:03
to what he's already told you about Elijah and the kill him. Well,
11:05
I'm sure you don't enjoy talking about him, missus watch, but I don't
11:09
mind anymore. And mister dona and has a way of taking care of most
11:13
things. Of course, I still can't help feeling sort of bitter about Elijah,
11:18
but I also can't help seems for him. Yeah, sure, I
11:22
understand. I gather that mister Tyler always treated Elijah pretty well? Did it
11:30
cut him around here? When it really didn't? Tell you too? Then?
11:33
How could Elijah turn on him that way? It was always pretty unpredictable.
11:39
Oti No one really knows what the argument was about, mister Once.
11:45
How would I get the tough La Kenyon? You you mean you're going after
11:48
Eliza? I like to try. And I don't think that's a very good
11:52
idea, mister Dolla, probably not, But why not? Could be dangerous
11:56
for you? I mean, and why do it my job? I've been
12:03
thinking about live a lot lately. An old man like that somewhere up in
12:07
that canyon out in the open nicoles. It just isn't right. Yeah,
12:13
Well, anyway, how do I get there? As the road takes off
12:16
my less stow from here? You'll see if Mark winds up through the mountains,
12:20
about three hours hike from Tough Left Canyon. Okay, thanks, Just
12:24
one thing, mister Dollar. That's Elijah. He's a good shot, I
12:30
know, and so do I put a thirty thirty slug in my shoulder one
12:33
one was there night of to kill him. I was living on the next
12:37
ranch over at the times. I was one of them that took off after
12:41
him. He winged me from two hundred yards. Oh, I'll tell you
12:43
for a fact, mister Dollars, you can shoot fast, you can shoot
12:48
straight. With those cheerful words from Ben Wats ringing in my ear, I
12:56
drove back a ton item six thirty five dollars forty cents. But I'm camping
13:00
equipment. I figured I'd be spending a couple of nights out in the open.
13:03
I found the so called road they told me about Flinny had just sort
13:07
of petered out among the trees and rocks up there the Timberlaine. I started
13:11
hoping him. Three hours later, I was over the ridge and working my
13:15
way down the western slope of Safflo Canyon. Let me I stopped. Yeah,
13:20
somebody was trinning me. I crossed behind some brush and waiting, and
13:30
I run, Hey, wait a minute. You're the girl who ins in
13:35
my aunt about Elijah in San Francisco, Jannett Janet Blake, isn't it prayed?
13:43
I lied to you? Not my name, mister Dallas. Really,
13:46
Janet's Tyler Tyler, Jes Tyler, the man Elijah too. He was my
13:52
father. What are you doing here? Decided to take the law into your
13:56
own hands. Maybe you don't understand. Yah, I don't want to harm
14:01
Elijah, but he must be found and dropped back. While I'm with you
14:05
there, then stay with me because I think I can lead you to him.
14:13
What nna wait an way, if you ever end of this king?
14:18
Now, what makes you think Elijah's around this? Think of the what well?
14:20
Years ago Eliga dropped me up here. There's a little pocket in the
14:26
rocks, almost the key. He liked it, said it was his price.
14:31
I recognize the landmark. Get down, Denna. Looks like we finally
14:41
located Elijah. The hardware act free of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar in
15:01
a moment. It is a very well known fact that symbols are important for
15:07
men everywhere, whether they be symbols of country, legend or honor. They're
15:13
a cherished part of the culture and tradition of all peoples, as in almost
15:18
all countries of the world. The people of Spain are very religious, and
15:22
in the Spanish town of Vendrel, the people we are having difficulty with a
15:28
symbol, a three hundred pound angel sitting on top of one hundred and fifty
15:33
fourth church people. The angel had been there since seventeen eighty four and needed
15:39
repairs to keep it from falling down on the heads of the parishioners. But
15:45
one hundred fifty feet is a long way up, and three hundred pounds are
15:48
a lot of weights to bring down. Now, there was a great deal
15:52
of head scratching over the problem until someone casually mentioned the problem to someone else
16:00
who happened at these stations At the United States Air Force Base in Zaragoza,
16:04
Spain. It wasn't long before visions of a helicopter came to mind. Because
16:10
Americans liked to help other people everywhere. The Air Force whirlibird lifted the angel
16:15
from the church people, brought it down for repairs, and later returned it
16:21
to its perch. So grateful were the people of Vendrel for this active,
16:26
friendly cooperation that they held a mass celebration of American Day to show their appreciation.
16:33
Television and newsreels carried the story of kindness so to the newspapers and magazines
16:37
throughout Spain. This gesture on the part of the United States Air Force created
16:44
a new symbol, a symbol of friendship and understanding that became a symbol of
16:49
freedom the right of all men everywhere, now Act three of yours truly,
16:56
Johnny Dollar and the shy beneficiary matters. Yeah, we found Elijah Summers,
17:04
all right. He was somewhere in the rocks above us, there in Tablack
17:07
canyons. And I knew the minute Jenna and I poked our heads up.
17:11
We collect a slug. He had his pin down. But good, Johnny
17:17
think maybe it look Jennet, I still don't understand why you were so anxious
17:21
to find Elijah. Johnny, you could him shooting at us? Yeah?
17:26
Right? What kind of shout did they found? Right? Matter of thank
17:29
a small caliber? Right? Twenty two? Maybe? Like this? What
17:33
did you get that? Twenty two? Sluts just came from Elijah's gun the
17:37
night my father was killed. He was killed with Hey, wait a minute,
17:40
that's why I want to talk to Elijah. That's a good idea,
17:42
and so do I. But how I think you'll still remember my voice?
17:45
Let me try, Okay, let's be careful, Elijah, Elijah, Yeah,
17:57
yeah, go on, it's yet Elijah. Dammit, Tyler this Dennis
18:04
step right, who's that dollar? Elijah, Johnny Dollar, I want to
18:11
talk to you. I'm your friend, Please, Elijah, he's telling you
18:15
the truth. We don't want to hurt you, but we must talk to
18:19
you truth. Yes, you know I've never lied to you. You there,
18:27
Jarous, you pass it out. You well if we get wrong about
18:37
Elijah with you, does know I'm not wrong about him. Okay, here
18:41
it is here about okay Elijah? Hell yeah, oh you Lia. You
18:59
look he's been up here all this time, living, living like an animus.
19:06
Aren't sure about me, Nona. I have been getting along pretty good
19:10
up here, by the looks of you. I haven't getting much food enough
19:14
to keep my eyes sharp. Mister. Oh, I see that Tavie sheriff
19:18
fella come poking around here time or two. He didn't even come close,
19:22
and if he had a I taid have parted him. He was. That's
19:29
what I wanted to talk to you about, Elijah. That rifle of those,
19:32
it's a good mission. I remember when you gimme it two three years
19:37
ago for the grounds crew. Elijah. Have you ever had any other rifle
19:41
besides that twenty two? Nope, you're sure about that, of course,
19:45
I'm sure you see here. I've took good care of it too, and
19:52
I kept get clean and polish yeah. Look now, Elijah, have you
19:59
ever used any other rifle besides that one? Nope, Jennet, your father
20:03
was killed a thirty thirty. I know, Jane, that twenty two slug
20:07
you showed me a while ago. You said you got it to night your
20:10
father was killed, and it came from Elijah's gun. I thought someone private
20:17
slug out of his own shoulder the night of the Sais. He threw it
20:21
away, he didn't notice. I was watching. Later I heard him tell
20:25
it around. He'd been hit with a thirty thirty slug. You mean your
20:27
stepfather, Ben? What I was copied? I didn't understand when it came
20:34
to me then, what was the one who killed my father? Elijah?
20:40
Elijah was probably trying to protect Dad and shot Ben with his twenty two.
20:45
There was a big fight, miss Jannet. I don't just remember what all
20:48
happened, except all of the seaden They was chasing me. I wasn't sure
20:55
Ben figured to get penn the killing on somebody like Elijah who wouldn't have a
20:57
chance proving his innocence. Elanjaz, have you seen Ben since you ran away?
21:02
A sure? Oh? Ben's come poking around here too, where he
21:06
so off ninety smiled free here. Sure it's figures, Jennets. Elijah's a
21:11
threat to Ben as long as he's alive. So Ben comes hunting up here
21:15
every now and then. The car cat gotta be real careful because I only
21:18
got a twenty two and he's got a thirty thirty. Right, he never
21:23
get a light? You believe? You mean he won't get it? Got
21:30
to keep quiet. The shot had come from a clump of rocks more than
21:33
one hundred yards away. I scooped up my automatic where I'd thrown it on
21:37
the ground and started circling slowly, trying to get around behind the clump of
21:40
rock. I'd almost made it when my foot float comesent a rock down the
21:42
slope. He popped up them ready to shoot, but lucky for me,
21:45
his first look was toward the rock instead of me. He saw his mistakes,
21:48
hunging his rifle toward me, but he was too late. Janny,
21:53
Johnny, All right here, Jennet, how's the light you? So he's
21:57
all right though? Johnny? Yeah, it's Ben watched all right? Is
22:03
he still alive? Oh yeah, he'll keep long enough. Expense account total
22:12
four hundred and ten dollars even remarks, well, I turned ben Watch over
22:17
to the local wall and I helped Old Elijah fill out his claim for the
22:21
twenty five thousand dollars insurance moneymus Gazeworth had left him. It ought to keep
22:25
him real comfortable for the rest of his life. You know that, once
22:29
in a while I get the feeling that this job of mine is worthwhile.
22:32
After all, you're still the Johnny Dollars. Our star will return in just
22:48
a moment. Our flag now numbers fifties stars, and behind each star there's
22:55
sands, yet another flag representing one of the fifties states. Alabama state flag
23:00
is white with a crimson cross of Saint Andrews, the symbol of the Confederacy.
23:04
I'm the national flag of Scotland. Alabama's state capital, Montgomery, served
23:11
as the first capital of the Confederacy, and it was on the steps of
23:14
its capitol buildings that Jefferson Davis took the oath of office as President of the
23:18
Confederated States of America. The Scottish cross is in the form of an x
23:25
or assaultier and is also found on the state flags of Georgia and Mississippi.
23:30
Perhaps it is the independent, rugged spirit of the Scotts that recommended its national
23:36
symbol to the Confederacy as a symbol of its rebellion. Alabama's state flag,
23:42
the flag of the commenty second state to enter the Union, was adopted on
23:47
February sixteenth, eighteen hundred and ninety five. Now here's our star. They'll
23:51
tell you about next week's story. Next week the most cockyed case I ever
23:55
worked on, not one of life's but death insurance. Join us You's tlee
24:00
Johnny Dillon, Yours truly, Johnny Dollars starrying Bob Bailey originates in Hollywood.
24:14
Written by Robert Rice, it is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Heard
24:18
in our cast were Virginia, Greg Janette Nolan, Larry Dobkins, Jack Krushian,
24:21
Russell Thorson, and Howard mcneer. Be sure to join us next week
24:25
train time and station or another exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollars.
24:32
This is Dan Cobberly speaking, Welcome back. Well, normally I wouldn't call
24:41
it a detective show on a continuity error, but since Johnny Dollar does pride
24:47
itself on this, this is set up Like for Johnny, it's a surprise
24:52
to deal with a beneficiary who can't be found. He's actually dealt with,
24:56
and I can just recalling from memory the Broad Matter and the Royal Street matter,
25:02
which involved a missing beneficiary in one case, in a reluctant beneficiary in
25:07
another. Other than that, though a good episode. So I do wonder
25:11
on the ability to pretend you were winged with a thirty thirty verses a twenty
25:18
two. But to me, the fact that the stepfather said both that he
25:22
was winged and that the man they were looking for was a dead shot was
25:26
to me a proof of his innocence, or at least very suggestive. All
25:30
right, Well, now to listener comments and feedback, and on Facebook,

26:44
Bob Bailey episodes. You're the best. I wish someone would animate the episodes,
26:48
maybe a kickstarter. It's an interesting idea. There is actually a DVD
26:56
out where someone took the suspense play I believe it was The Hitchhiker with Orson
27:03
Wells, and they did it as a DVD, did the full episode,
27:10
and if you go on YouTube you'll also find partially animated clips of a lot
27:15
of program Laman Abner and even some of the more modern programs such as The
27:22
Doctor Who audio drama. It definitely would be an interesting project. My big
27:27
observation on what I've seen is not all It definitely requires skilled animation to do
27:33
it correctly, but it would require probably some musical and sound design expertise,
27:41
because if you keep with, say the original soundtrack and score of an old
27:45
time radio program, it gives very little time for visual transition, so it
27:52
doesn't look right for a visual purpose. And you'll notice that too. Back
27:56
when we played the Big Lamp Tea soundtrack, even though you could mostly tell
28:02
what was going on, there were a few extra gaps of silence we heard
28:07
on the TV soundtrack that you wouldn't have heard on the radio program itself.
28:12
And remember they started from a radio script, so it'll be a lot of
28:17
work. But if somebody had a kickstarter and they had the talent, it
28:21
certainly would be interesting to see. Also received a tweet from Justin who says
28:29
Bob Bailey sounds different in the newer episodes of Johnny Dollar. The reason I
28:34
think for difference in sound is we did have a few episodes with lower quality
28:41
source material, and so you will hear that, but that's generally just going
28:48
to be the quality of the source material. Bailey's voice itself shouldn't change.
28:52
Then we have a couple comments from Bobby and Paul. Bobby says I could
28:57
not start my Saturday mornings without Johnny he's fine, and Paul says he's fun
29:04
to listen to when you keep the time frame involved, as it gives a
29:08
perspective of life back then. Well, thanks so much, and it's very
29:14
interesting to hear Saturday mornings because I've kind of gotten used to the fact that
29:18
a lot of people don't listen to the shows on the days I upload them.
29:22
In Johnny Dollar's case, of course, it's Friday. But appreciate your
29:27
comments. Now we have a couple comments on the oldies. Joe emails in
29:34
just listen to the Blooming Blossom manner. It was great to hear Floyd about
29:41
the barber Howard mcneir in the episode, even if he was the villain,
29:45
definitely a different role than what he played on Andy Griffith, thanks for the
29:51
great work and keep the Johnny Dollar episodes coming. Well. Thanks so much,
29:55
Joe, and it really is interesting. Howard witt Near. I've heard
30:00
him on so many detective drama episodes, primarily episodes of Johnny Dollar and the
30:07
Lineup, but also let George do it and radio allowed him to play a
30:12
range of characters anywhere character actor, you could just do so much and be
30:18
so many different types of people. It is definitely different in the deep the
30:23
medium which tends to top cast people. Yeah, this is a different look
30:30
to Howard mcneer's repertoire, and we heard a little bit of that since he
30:33
was in today's episode two. Finally, we have a tweet from Carl on
30:37
another old episode Listen to the Lamar Matter and my heart broke for Johnny Dollar
30:44
in matters of love he leads with his heart Haha. Well, thanks so
30:48
much, and I'm definitely agreed. I think that Bob Bailey at the end
30:53
of that episode really did. You could really feel the emotion that he put
31:00
into that. And I think that I actually did include that as an illustration
31:08
for one of my life lessons in the Johnny Dollar section of All I needed
31:15
to Know I learned from Dragnet, so definitely left an impression on me.
31:19
All right, Well, that will do it for today. We'll be back
31:23
tomorrow with Dragnet and then be sure and listen again next Friday for another episode
31:30
of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. In the meantime, send your comments to Box
