1:57
you'll get men today. Is your name, Teddy David? Who is
2:00
this? My name's Johnny Dollar. I'm in her apartment. What now?
2:06
Listen to me. I'm an insurance investigator and there's been a couple of murders
2:08
here in Elisa's apartment. She's going to need you and all the help she
2:12
can get to bring her out of it, mostly you. I've called homicide
2:15
and they're on their way, and it might be pretty rough for her.
2:17
I've been right over tonight and every weekday night. Bob Bailey, in the
2:29
Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Pact expenscout America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator
2:35
is truly Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the
2:53
Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures
2:58
during my investigation of the Tears of Night Matter. It was a long morning
3:06
and a lieutenant of police thought I was crazy when he met me in the
3:08
apartment with two dead men and the hysterical woman. My face was bruised and
3:13
black and blue from the beating the dead men had handed me the night before.
3:16
The lieutenant his name is Brady, had a time getting hold of Hillary
3:20
Fuchs to back up my story. But Teddy Davis was a different matter.
3:23
He showed up with a doctor and lawyer, and through their combined efforts at
3:27
least Wendover was removed not to police headquarters but to a private hospital. It
3:31
was obvious from Potter test that Missus Wendover could not have fired the forty five,
3:35
which ended the lives of Feli and Toby. Obvious to me. Lieutenant
3:38
Brady was a skeptical man. You stay right there and keep your trap shut.
3:42
I'll figure out what to do with you in a minute, all right,
3:45
Come on, get those beskets otia. I say, Dollar, Hi,
3:47
Teddy, how's missus Wendell? Oh? That remains to be seen.
3:50
She's screaming about that. Don curse again. She thinks she had something to
3:53
do with these murders. Dollar. I don't know quite how you fit into
3:58
all this. I do know, terribly indebted to you for calling me.
4:00
Now, what can I do for you? Are you in trouble? I
4:02
don't think so. Brady's just excited. He can't see where I should be
4:05
involved, so he suspects me of what Oh, he doesn't know that.
4:10
He's a policeman and he suspects everybody. But don't you worry about it.
4:13
You get back to her. I really do have a good lawyer. He
4:15
can work on it if you give the word. I can't just walk out
4:17
of here feeling that you're in jeopardy. No, what can I do?
4:20
I thought you were over at the hospital, mister Davis. I was.
4:24
I came back to see what I could do for mister Dollar. You can
4:26
scram now, watch whom you're talking to, Lieutenant. This man is my
4:30
friend. Hey, you kid, not a bit. Take it easy,
4:32
fellas, take it easy. You said your name's Dollar, Insurance dick.
4:36
Let's see your buzzer. Okay, on a Hartford, what's a job?
4:43
Missus Windover's husband died two years ago. She just got around to filing for
4:46
benefits last week. We were curious about it. On Well, can't you
4:49
see missus Wendell left him? Huh? As near as I can make out,
4:54
Missus Wentover has overlooked a lot of things since her husband's death. Taxes,
4:58
bank accounts, what not. Hiller re Fuchs can tell you that much.
5:00
This curse business. She mumbled about, Well, she lost her husband
5:04
before that, her brother killed in the war, and her father before that.
5:08
You know, you don't seem to pay much attention. I explained all
5:11
the copy and the cooler. If you open your mouth again, mister Davis,
5:15
come on, how about the insurance? Well all, okay, I
5:17
was ready to leave town last night. As a matter of fact, I'd
5:20
called for a plane from fuchs office when a man named Scanlon came in,
5:25
mistook me for Fuchs and said Sam Costigan wanted to see me. Costigan's got
5:29
a gambling place on the other Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know about
5:30
it. Go on, well, Costigan gave me a necklace, the Tears
5:33
of Night. Said it belonged to Missus wentover. He asked me to bring
5:36
it back to her, said she'd painted at the roulette table. When I
5:41
got here, Missus wentover was wearing the Tears of Night or something that looked
5:44
just like it. Well, I was curious. I looked up the jeweler
5:46
who had made it, a man named Mortuus. He said, I was
5:48
carrying the real thing. When I left his place, A couple of men
5:51
from Costigan's place followed me. Oh, those two who would killed Feeling and
5:56
Toby. They caught up with me outside of this apartment house to shake me
6:00
down for the necklace, but I mailed it to myself at my hotel,
6:03
so they worked me over and left me there when I came too earlier this
6:08
morning, I came up here and found missus Windover sitting here in a state
6:11
of shock. The two stiffs in a room. That's it, Yeah,
6:15
Brady, that's it. How long you been an insurance dick? Fourteen years?
6:18
You bonded? Yes? Okay? Are you going to let him go
6:23
round? Shut up? Shut up, and I'll tell you both what I'm
6:26
up against here. I know missus Wendover couldn't have had anything to do with
6:29
the killings. I know you Dollar couldn't either. Then go out and find
6:32
who killed those two men, those two and the other one. Huh.
6:36
Costigan was gunned down a couple of hours ago, about three o'clock in the
6:46
afternoon. Brady released me and Teddy Davis drove me back to my hotel.
6:50
The clerk at the desk looked at my bandage face and turned eight chase of
6:54
white when he handed me my key. I thanked him and told him I'd
6:57
kept a date with a Arracuda. I was feeling kiddish, also a little
7:00
dizzy and a little tired. I was looking forward to a hot shower and
7:03
ten hours sleep when I walked in my room. Oh Dollar, I've been
7:09
expicturing you coming coming. Oh oh, mister Mortius, I've been amusing myself
7:16
with his pocket chest set of yours, Mexican. Sit down, Sit down.
7:19
You've hit a hectic night. Your boys were pretty rough, mister Mortius.
7:24
He and Toby two men of another world, mister Dollar, not of
7:28
our world. Allow me to apologize for their actions. I want more than
7:31
an apology. They almost beat me to death, and so unnecessary too.
7:36
I underestimated you, mister Dollar, such an ingenious method of protecting the tears
7:41
of night. Why so by the simple expedient of placing it in an enrape
7:45
and mailing it to yourself from my hotel lobby. You hired a guardians the
7:48
entire United States Postal Service, not to mention the armed forces one of these.
7:54
No, no, no thanks. I'm one of those faint hearted persons
7:57
who cannot abide liquor unto it after six in the afternoon, What happens?
8:01
Now? We wait for the mail? Wait too, precisely. Then,
8:07
while I'm waiting, maybe you'll be kind enough to tell me about the double
8:09
cross if you can bear my vanity. Mister Dallaye, I have invented a
8:15
new word, triple cross. It has a ring to it. Eh,
8:18
that sounds likely. You see, mister Scannon approached me last week and asked
8:20
me to duplicate the Tears of night. Missus Wendover had truly pawned at the
8:24
gaming table. Naturally, I became suspicious. I mean guess what you became
8:28
suspicious of? Oh? Well, it was fairly obvious that Missus Scanlon was
8:33
planning to double cross mister Costigan. That is when the time came to return
8:37
Missus Wendover's necklace. He's Canlon, I mean intended to return the bogus piece
8:41
I made up and you got under their That is when I first conceived my
8:45
own plans. Yes, Unfortunately, mister Costigan learned of the little deceit going
8:48
on around him, and mister Skennon was forced to shoot him. So scan
8:52
and shirtcast agin about Toby and feeling Missus s Canlon again abetted by the last
8:58
of the House of Morts, you helped him kill them. Then, planted
9:01
them and at least went over as a partner. Oh dear, crude touch,
9:05
I had a purpose with two cadavers in a living room. She was
9:09
very unlikely to discuss a bogus necklace with the police, and I doubt very
9:11
much if she knew whether she was wedding the original or in imitation. Flighty
9:16
girl, that's the lousiest thing the house of MOUs ever did She walked in
9:20
and found these two there, And the doctor doesn't know whether she'll ever be
9:22
saying again. Oh, dear dear, If you had merely returned the necklace
9:26
to missus Wendover, it would have been a simple thing to effect in exchange,
9:30
and none of this would have been necessary. Well, then, by
9:33
gones are by gone? YEA sure, I know you just sit here and
9:37
wait for the mail. No, no, no, no, we wait
9:39
for the mail. What about your playmate, Scanlon? Why isn't he waiting
9:43
with you? Scandon? I'm afraid I'll be hot for a murder of two
9:46
or three this night. I'm certain the police will find his body before the
9:50
day is out. But I did need him to help me carry the bodies
9:52
to a lease. Wender is a partent Alise, tell me something, mister
9:56
dollar. Does that name Alise bother you with much as it bothers me?
10:01
Give me a woman with a name like Celeste or Josephine or Roxanne, those
10:07
certain names for the creatures, but at least yeah, twaddle, where are
10:11
the police? Kind of fine scammon? Oh in my hotel room, which
10:13
I departed, Hateley, once the room clerk could inform me of your ingenious
10:18
method for protecting the necklace, I shot him. There you were cheap,
10:22
mister Watchfa's slipter. I don't understand ten thousand dollars a necklace. It's not
10:26
quite a king's ransom, is it. The tears of Night are worth closer
10:31
to one hundred thousand dollars. I'm afraid I misinformed you to their value.
10:35
I didn't want you to become suspicious. I suppose you think you'll get away
10:39
with it. Well, I'm an old man attended to a destitute and bankrupt
10:46
jewelry firm with nothing ahead a few grim years and finally a whimpering end that
10:52
we are sit in. Party live. That's what I wanted to live,
10:58
and this is my opportunity to live like a king and young man I've taken
11:03
it many vv VT crazy. You're crazier than I A skid of went a
11:09
summer's. They'll grab you before you make the airport. I don't think they
11:13
will. I shall leave here and turn the tears of night into cash.
11:18
With a well laden purse, I shall guarantee to elude the police over half
11:22
the world in two years, maybe three. Yes, they'll get me,
11:26
but I have spent the money. And what more could a man ask than
11:31
a perfect fulfillment of all his wishes? Oh, I ask you, sir,
11:35
as one gentleman to another, what more could a man ask? Cautious
11:39
mister Dollar, I do shoot? Well, answer it, tell them to
11:43
go away. I'll be right beside you. All right, open it one
11:54
side, Dollar, Canon, I find you waiting for you dirty. You
12:03
didn't do such a good job on caution, mister sken and I have a
12:07
gun all last long enough to let you have it. Your loss of blood
12:11
has made you groggy, mister Skenner, but still good enough. Scannon rolled
12:20
over and lay still. Watch was kind of grunted, lean back against the
12:22
wall. He had a pain look on his face. H I do believe
12:33
I've been shot. I need a little assistance. I can't seem to hold
12:41
my feet, Sir, I can't see my feet. I still yeah,
12:50
Yeah, it was an awkward plan at best. Yeah, demotuous new se
13:01
go No Dollar, what if you're letting to escape show speak? Will I'm
13:11
dead? Let me have the police expense accounts well expense a count total four
13:35
hundred and five dollars and sixteen cents. Details missus windev will recover remarks.
13:41
I'll stand for the last two days of expense myself. I didn't have any
13:45
business sticking my nose and the jewelry end of it. But if you make
13:48
me pay for them, don't never try to hire me again. Yours truly,
13:52
Johnny Dollar. Now here's our star to tell you about next week's intriguing
14:07
story. Next week the matter of a reasonable doubt, A case of many
14:11
doubts, and believe me, all of them are most unreasonable. Join us,
14:16
won't you? Yours truly? Johnny Dalton, Yours truly, Johnny Dollar,
14:24
starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood. Written by John Dawson,
14:28
It is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Heard in this week's cast where
14:33
Virginia Greg Victor Perrin, Jack Krushin, Janeavello, William Conrad, Frank Gerstall,
14:37
Marvin Miller and Will Wright. Musical supervision by A. Marigo Marino and
14:43
Carl Fatina. Be sure to join us on Monday Night, same time in
14:46
Station for another exciting story of Yours truly, Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan speaking
16:26
welcome back. Well. Overall a pretty decent cereal looking the uh and more
16:33
convenient for Johnny Doller. But overall it was a good crime story. This
16:41
was actually adapted from two separate half hour mystery programs. It reused a story
16:51
from nineteen forty eight, The Diamond Quartet on Jeff Reagan, and also The
16:57
Adventures of Sam Space The Tears of night Keeper from July twenty fourth of nineteen
17:06
forty nine. I think it's a pretty reliable thing if there's a real serious
17:11
beating of the detective. It was adapted from Sam Spay, I mean not
17:15
from Sam Spay, but from Jeff Reagan, because they did those pretty prodigiously
17:19
on that show. All right, folks, let's go ahead and get into
17:23
our next show. As we continue on with Belladonna was poison from the Carter
17:30
Brown Mysteries. Carter Brown Mysteries adventures and excitement and suspense based on the best
17:48
selling novels by the slick storytelling sensation Gotter Brown. Being an actor is fun
18:11
most of the time. We get all the excitement of a dramatic situation with
18:15
none of the worry because it's all being worked out for you beforehand by a
18:18
writer. But the fun fizzles out when a real life dramatic situation up since
18:22
smacks you in the face and there's no script to rely on. Just because
18:26
my name was rock Stone and they tacked the word inspector in front of it
18:30
for my TV show, There's no Future in Murder. I was given star
18:33
building by homicide Inspector Jakes when the actress Hanno Vogue was killed. Now,
18:37
the inspector didn't like me, and this was his way of showing it.
18:41
Rock Darling, this is the most wonderful publicity the show could ever have had.
18:45
We look at things from different angles. You're the producer, Aarli,
18:48
and that's fine for you. I'm just an actor and right now I wish
18:51
I'd never gone to drama at school. What a story from the page in
18:56
every paper, Inspector rock Stone TV hunts for Killer. There's no future in
19:02
murder, says Stone, with a hot lead to prove it. Oh,
19:04
this is terrific. This is terrible, Inspector Jakes may have shut this onto
19:08
your Rock, but you'll have to go through with it. You'll have to
19:11
find the murderer. This will catch the public's imagination. They'll expect it.
19:15
You're crazy, Oh, I find who killed her? Deduction. You've been
19:19
playing this show for over a year, Sam Long does a lot of research
19:23
to make the scripts look authentic. You're a cop, Rock, Just play
19:26
it the way you would in the show. But this is for real.
19:30
Supposing I did find the murder, that would be wonderful, except that the
19:33
murder mightn't have the same script as I have. He might rewrite it with
19:37
me as the core. Let's worry about that when you found him, Come
19:40
on, Rock, give start deducting. Well, okay, I guess I
19:44
can try now. Ala Vogue was to be on next week's show. You
19:49
auditioned it for it, right, correct, Inspector Stone, Well, how
19:52
did you find her? Did you come from a casting agency? No?
19:56
As a matter of fact, Sam introduced her to me. He said she
19:57
had some theater experience and needed a break. It was only a small part,
20:02
and she had the looks for it, so I gave it to her.
20:03
Sam, Long, Maybe we're starting to get someplace there. You are
20:07
see how easy this deduction is once you get going. Yeah, where will
20:11
I find Sam at this time of the day? No, that's easy,
20:14
Harry's gone. Let's go. Hi, Sam. Hey, we've been looking
20:25
for you. Ah, the great Inspector Stone following your hot lead Inspector.
20:29
That was Jake's idea, and I'm stuck with it. He listen, Sam
20:33
Arline tells me you introduced ten of Vogue to her. That's right, So
20:37
what say? What do you know about her? Sorry, inspector, that's
20:40
confidential. I'll come on, Sam. Somehow Rock has to solve this thing
20:44
or there'll be no show anymore and we'll all be out of a job.
20:47
Yeah that's a point. Okay, but don't quote me. Someone whispered gently
20:53
in my ear that Hannah Vogue was a brilliant young actress who should get a
20:57
break on the show. Who said that, I told you, don't quote
21:00
me, our revered sponsor himself. Do you mean all this Lacy of Lacy's
21:07
departmental star, the very same I was told not to mention his name,
21:11
but all the same, he wanted to see her appear on the show or
21:14
else you'll have to talk to him. Rock to the sponsor. Are you
21:18
nuts? What has to be done? And you'll have to do it alone?
21:21
Well if that isn't typical. The producer gives the orders, the poor
21:23
damact has to do the work. Come in, Stone, come in,
21:36
glad you called. I was just going to leave a message at the studio
21:37
that I wanted to see you or what about mister Lacy. I've read the
21:41
story in the papers, and of course my manager, you Sheep, told
21:45
me what had happened. You're a statement about intending to solve the murder yourself
21:48
is a magnificent yest. Just don't I congratulate you on it. Thanks,
21:52
It'll be wonderful thing for the show and for me as the sponsor. Of
21:56
course, you need all the help you can get. That's why I have
22:00
for you. Oh you're a man of the world. Stone. You'll understand
22:03
when I say I knew and of whole rather world, sure, mister Lacey,
22:10
and I wanted to help her. She aspired to be an actress.
22:14
I told long to see she got a part in the show. I'd been
22:18
quite frank about this Stone. I trust you realized the necessity of a discretion,
22:22
and you're I'm a clam mister Lacy. If anyone else got to know
22:26
this embarrassing for man in my position, naturally, I understand. Not quite,
22:34
mister Lacey. What else? Is there? A couple of questions I'd
22:38
like to ask? Have you any idea why she was murdered? None at
22:42
all? When did you last see her? Oh? It, it must
22:47
have been Tuesday night. Yes, we watched the show at her apartment.
22:51
I left about nine. Did she seem worried about anything? Not at all?
22:55
She was a usual vivacious self. Well, thanks, mister Lacey.
23:00
Just one other thing. Would you give me the address of her apartment?
23:03
It's of course, I'll write it down for you. Yes, you work,
23:10
but thank you. You're prainding to call him? Huh? Well,
23:12
in that case, perhaps I had better give you the key too. On
23:22
my way to Hannahold's apartment, I wondered about the strange contrast in the dead
23:26
girl's behavior. According to Old, as Lacy when he saw her on Tuesday
23:32
night, she was her usual vivace herself. When I saw her later that
23:36
same Tuesday night. She was scared, almost incoherent. I stood inside her
23:45
apartment and looked around. It was really quite a layout. Obviously any girl
23:49
and the oldest Lacey's protection had nothing but the best. I stepped over to
23:53
the door of the bedroom. Well, well, an inhabitant, and what
24:00
uninteresting inhabitant? Who are you? How did you get in here with this
24:03
key? They out of you. This is Hannahvogg's apartment. I'm a friend
24:07
of Hannah's. She invited me to stay here. I only arrived yesterday.
24:11
Did you know she's been murdered? Yes, the place for here to day
24:15
asking questions. I answered them all, and now here I am answering more
24:19
from some one I don't even know. Well, we can remedy that.
24:22
My name's Stone, Rock Stone, the television star, the man who's made
24:29
all the headlines, and who's going to track down Hannah's murder. That's right,
24:33
mister Stone. I think you're wonderful. You do. I certainly do,
24:40
and I'd like to help you find the killer. Well, that's very
24:42
kind of you, miss sir. I'm Lois sure nice to know you,
24:45
Lois. It'll be even nicer. Once we were working closer together. Huh,
24:52
Well, you're going let me help you when your search for the murder,
24:56
aren't you. If you get as close as that, you won't be
24:59
helping you. You'll be hindering. But it'd be fun, wouldn't it.
25:03
I'm not interested in fun right now. I got too much else on my
25:07
mind anyway, hal Caw, can you help me? I could give you
25:12
a tip, such as ask your producer Ali Mauldin about her sister Kathy.
25:19
I never know she had a sister, Kathy, Kathy died. Ask miss
25:25
Mauldon how I left the Luscious Loss, puzzling over her cryptic reference to Kathy
25:34
Moulden's death, and headed for Harry's Bar, where I expected to find Arlene
25:38
and Sam still waiting for me. But there's a message that they'd gone to
25:42
the studio. When I arrived there, I found I'd forgotten about the conference
25:47
for the next program of There's No Future in Murder. We've got the scripts.
25:52
Oh, we've got to do a check through them in case anyone has
25:53
any bright ideas. Then I can go ahead with the casting, get someone
25:57
else to play the murdered girl. Of course, in a minute, Arli,
26:00
we can't do this show next week. Why not? Well, maybe
26:03
you've forgotten Sam that Inspector Jakes told the press that Inspector rock Stone was gonna
26:07
solve Hanna Voge's murder. No, that I don't see. We're gonna keep
26:11
any viewers at all for the program. Next week's show has got to be
26:14
devoted to the case of Hannah Vogue. In the next show, Inspector rock
26:17
Stone has to reveal the murderer's identity. Hey, that's a colossal idea.
26:22
Here, give me the details and I'll start work on the script right away.
26:25
I haven't any details. What are you talking about? The show will
26:29
have to be played without a script. It'll have to be an impromptu job.
26:32
We'll have to play it by year. Well that's right, aren't you
26:34
overlooking one minor point. You have no more idea right now who killed her
26:38
than I have, or inspect the Jakes has. Well, that doesn't matter.
26:41
We do the show just as it happened. We can get photographs to
26:45
use some of the newspaper boys. We'll make sure everyone concerned appears in front
26:48
of the cameras. Even if we don't find who the murder is, then
26:52
we're still gonna suck a finish. Ladies and gentlemen, you've just seen the
26:56
actual events which took place. You have seen and hurt everyone. Connect with
27:00
the girl Hannah Vogue who was poisoned. One of them may be her murderer.
27:04
Who is your choice? Hey, can you imagine what that will get
27:10
us? Yes, about three million dollars worth of libel suits. My bed
27:12
is it'll get us the murderer. He imagine the strain of appearing in front
27:17
of the cameras, knowing a million people are watching you. How easy it
27:19
would be to make one small stip of the tongue, one small fatal slip
27:23
that reveals you as a murderer. People will just refuse to appear on the
27:27
show, that's all, including the murder. No, no, they wouldn't,
27:30
dare. Look you imagine the question mark in people's minds. If someone
27:33
refuses to co operate in it, practically, it brand them is the murderer
27:37
right away. Yeah, he's right, Arleen, He's really got an idea
27:38
there. Well, I suppose it could be possible, And if by any
27:45
chance we unmasked the murderer, it'd lift the shows waiting like nothing else could.
27:48
Wow, it looks like you, who don't need me anymore. If
27:52
I haven't any script or right, I might as well gravitate back to Harry
27:56
can catch me there if you want me the song, sir person, Rock,
28:03
do you know any more than you're telling? I mean, this idea
28:06
of an off the cuff show, you must have something to go on?
28:07
Not really, Arleene. I've only been around asking questions and do what was
28:12
suggested. I ask you, oh about your sister huh, in particular about
28:22
how she died? Who suggested you? Ask me? Well? The girl
28:26
I found in Anna Voe's apartment, a girl called lower Shore. Never heard
28:30
of her? How on earth does she know anything about it? I don't
28:33
know it. Apparently she does. Look if if you don't talk about it,
28:38
Arleen, no, I guess you might as well know. Kathy was
28:42
founding in a swim suit on the beach at San Antonio. Round Corner's court
28:48
brought in a verticive accidental deaths even tougher than you know. Rock. Kathy
28:53
was five years younger than me. She was always a wild kid. She's
28:59
working as a model in that Then I found she'd given that up, living
29:03
in San Antonio in a house that the man was renting. I wrote to
29:06
her warning her. He said the man would get tired of her and throw
29:08
it out. She wrote back and told me that that would never happen because
29:12
she knew too much about him. I didn't pay any attention to that at
29:17
the time, going ali. Then some months later I got another letter,
29:22
but I'd prophesied had happened now. The guy had thrown her over, yes,
29:26
but she wasn't standing for it. It told him she wanted a hundred
29:29
thousand dollars conversation or she'd give him one hundred thousand dollars worth of publicity that
29:33
would ruin him. I didn't get any letters after that because she died.
29:40
She was Is that all not quite rot? But I'm afraid I've overdone the
29:44
build up. The punchline would probably be let down. You see, the
29:48
man was all this Lacy, welcome back. Well, the suspects are multiplying
30:10
and we'll have to see what the next week's turn is. So be sure
30:14
and listen next Friday for another episode of Carter Brown. And we'll be back
30:18
on Monday with a brand new Johnny Dollar cereal. In the meantime, send
