1:33
hearkens to the Christmas episode that we skip. But the good news is that
1:40

1:49
about. So here from April to fourteenth, nineteen fifty seven is the ming
1:53
Toy Murphy matter. Hollywood. It's time now for Wow. Good morning,
2:08
George, Morning Johnny. Remember man loves animals. George. Well, for
2:15
the second time he talks in wishing a special covering policy other night and we
2:19
wanted insurance. And for the second time it's disappeared. I hope it's not
2:23
another singing mouth. I'm afraid it's something worse than articulous canine. I take
2:28
it away, dog, and I take it you mean a talking dog?
2:34
Oh No, Bob Bailey and the Exciting Adventures of the Man with the ex
2:46
Pact expens the Coon America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator Turley Johnny Dollars. I didn't
2:57
know about mice. I do know about dogs, and I've never heard one
3:00
yet that could say anything but rough. Well, maybe you haven't. But
3:02
Michael Murphy had Michael Murphy iron, Mike Murphy vice president of Milford Steele or
3:07
once he got to do with it. Well, he's the former owner of
3:09
the articulating canine Gellius brought the dog from him according to this application he did.
3:16
When did it happen? Number? Three weeks ago? First I heard
3:19
of it was when Gillis called from New York asking for the coverage. How
3:23
much insurance does he have? The maximum we'd allow seventy five hundred seventy fives.
3:28
Oh no, no, joey, is that timely worth my time?
3:31
I can't make any commission from a small policy anything like that. Why didn't
3:36
you pay him off and forget it? I'd like to, Johnny, but
3:38
it isn't that simple. No. No, Since you found his mouse,
3:40
Gillis thinks you're some kind of a miracle work. No pied pipey, I
3:45
mean a pie eed something. Anyway, the boys upstairs is he to let
3:49
you write your own ticket again? Providing yeah, providing you locate the dog
3:53
or in the avenger? Don't you passed by Gillis? Keep him happy so
3:58
that he doesn't cancel his other policies. If I can't do either, then
4:00
you wind up with your regular commission and expense account, which our auditors will
4:04
check and double check. Hmm, A real sucker bet. But okay,
4:10
George, you've got yourself a deal hunch account. I had him two eighty
4:16
five cents cad ray're back to my apartment, had him three twenty six dollars
4:20
transportation highbred in New York City, including Cads Greater the Establer Hotel. By
4:26
the time I checked him, change my shirt with eight thirty. I think

9:26
Teeze boy, what television a new show called The Big Shock. The

9:37
Anyway? They started advertising about two weeks ago looking for a dog that could
9:43
say happy hollowed dog. Food is yum yum yum man happy hollow dog.

intoy down there and let us say it and collect the fifty thousand dollars.
10:03
Fifty thousand dollars. Fifty thousand are often to give for a dog that can
10:09
say happy. I know, I know, I know. Anyway, when
10:16
I first heard about this, I remembered Mike Murphy said something to the over
10:20
year about having a teen nine in his kidney that to talk some So I
10:26
went over there three weeks ago, and that bottle we had in the paper
10:30

10:35
Dummy? She switching the marry The advertisement think he looks happy. They're the
10:39

10:43
I see you see it? Look about time. I also say that you
10:48
don't exactly approve a fisher for a son in law. Oh, I wouldn't
10:50
say that. I don't approve. I don't disapprove it. If she wants
10:54
my stuff shirt, that's her bingess. You know. Let me play this
10:56
tape recording for you any of his sweetest little voice this side the time now,
11:05
then made this with Mike Murphy. All right, I'll talk to me.
11:11
Now talk everybody, he said, the drawn caninees belie, very good,
11:22
lie. Now tell me how are you feeding these fine days? David?
11:28
Yes? There what heavened she saw a cat? Do you think?
11:35
Oh? Yes, doubt she can talk? Now. I think I'd like
11:41
to set it with my own eyes. Have you put a man on the
11:45
Lost and Found columns of the papers? Course? What about the people in
11:48
this building? Then I had Morris. He's a super put An oper againity.
11:52
They call him supers in the city. So what's my name? You
11:56
don't you know? What he had? I had to put a notice in
11:58
each apartment tell him to be on the look out for her, but so
12:01
far nobody said a word, and naturally they wouldn't because she's not around here.
12:05
She's been stolen. Oh no, well, why would anyone want to
12:07
steal her? They couldn't stolen. Maybe it could have been somebody doing it
12:13
fight like who yes, like Iron Mike Murphy, you can say nasty things
12:18
to me, claim and I cheated him out of mean choy. Well did
12:22
you to kill us? Is there any other possible way she could have gotten
12:28
out of this role? Well? Several? Oh no, no, no,
12:35
it hurts me just to think about that. That window window, yes,
12:41
yes, was that open yesterday? Yes? I forgot to close it.
12:50
What's down below? There? Nothing? Nothing, nothing but East River.
12:58
I continued questioning him, making sure he's given me all the facts,
13:03
and after promising to take him along when I visited Iron Like Murphy, I
13:07
said, tonight in lest expense account at him five one dollar and seventy cents
13:11
for care back in my hotel. The next morning, I called Murphy and
13:15
wangled an invitation to his Long Island home. At exactly nine o'clock, I
13:18
was in front of the Gillis apartment. Hey, yeah, you looking for
13:26
me to guinny No, mister Gillets you've seen him? Sure? Sure?
13:31
When they got to put their breakaface? Oh yeah, I see. Do
13:35

13:37
my job a senior, what time do you usually hit this for a this
13:41
tame a time? It's nowt about ten nine o'clock. God, did the
13:45
Gillises go out for breakfast every morning at this time? All most every morning?
13:48
What about the day before yesterday? Oh, when the Lulu wanted disappear,
13:54
he was at the same hour. Huh. Tell me, Morris,
13:56
do you remember seeing anyone on this floor that? No one who did not
14:01
have a business to hear? But there was someone I hear, the gill
14:05
Us of present where you stand, the waiting at the mint. Who was
14:07
it? You know? Oh? No, I don't know his name.
14:09
I yeah, yeah, he's such a nicer gentleman. And me carry what
14:13
I know? Was another president for mister Gillis. I told him they were
14:18
out for their breakfast and he went away. You still haven't told me who
14:20
it was for it? Why have a signor who else? Who would to
14:24
bring a mister Gillis such a pretty box, it's such a beautiful gift.
14:28
Who else but the gentleman she's soon to marry now that two of yours truly
14:52
Johnny Dollard and the men Toy Murphy matter o. People in love usually keep
15:05
on hours, So I wasn't surprised that Morris at Jenna there had seen Million
15:07
Gillis's pianced outside the apartment of the morning the dog pardon me can I and
15:13
I disappeared. I think Morris fiss helped went back downstairs with my cat,
15:16
where I saw the Gillis was walking towards me from First Avenue morning. Sorry,
15:22

15:24
but I not let you out to hear you say that. No, no,
15:26

gonna be ficky around moon. No, I don't think so far. I
15:48

15:50
Twelveston, perfect for you them. Oh, according to mister Killers Iron Mike
15:58
Murphy, he didn't know all that Mentoy was liking. Thought was going to
16:02
be interesting to see his reactions when we told him the movie Homeless Square to
16:06
cast a couple of acres near great back the main house with a large two
16:08
story brick affair with a backroom swimming pool and the camel's behind him. Or

Mike pursuit his hobby of raising peganese dog with can Murphy at the camera.
16:18
Well, given it to lions, Stephen, give you hold the town man?
16:22
What are you doing out here? Anyway? I came wrong to help
16:26
mister Dolla. He doesn't know that I had is I wouldn't be able to
16:29
tell when you're a lion like I can't. Ah, I suppose you think
16:33
that's funny. Don you know what this man did to me? He stole
16:37
a wonderful little dog right out from under me now and you stole her back?
16:41
Or what do you mean? Do you know what time means? The
16:45
day after you called me on the phone, you saw that ad in the
16:47
paper. But the next day somebody stole mean toy, and I'm sure it
16:51
was you. You shan'ty irishman, for are your dirty minded evil or man
16:56
if half a mind to take a horse with to you for saying, oh
17:00
you denied. Of course I didn't know you, and you say it again,
17:03
I didn't it. Listen me failyday. Well I with you when you're
17:07
in the steel mill and I can whit to know, mister Gillis, remember
17:12
what your daughter said, Ye back may Patsy, mister Gillis, please let
17:18
the like come. Tell I am home out over here. When I was
17:37
over and mister Gillis had a black eye, Am Murphy of b Leody know
17:41
Jillius and I went back to town the twelve dollars, that's Adam picking after
17:45
thing, mister Gillis says me to his apartment. I went across town to
17:48
the twenty one. Marion arrived. We were showing to a table, and
17:51
I told her as quickly as I could what had happened at the Murphy home.
17:53
Johnny, you know father is supposed to get excited. I know he
17:59
knows, and I tried to stop him, but he was. Instead of
18:00
losing me too, or anything else, especially something stanuous as a fight,
18:07
well it might prove to be too, believe me. I'll call him a
18:11
few minutes to be sure. Million This morning, when I was waiting for
18:15
you to come back from breakfast. I had to talk with Morris, the
18:19
supermature farmer. Yeah, well I told you all to join us. Johnny,
18:26
I hope you don't mind. No, hope, of course not.
18:30
No thanks. Jan's been out all the morning with dad. Oh, hunting
18:34
for the dog. Yeah, that's fine, any luck? I'm not sure?
18:38
Excuse? But what did Mars have to say Johnny? Oh, it
18:42
wasn't important. Don't try lying to meet Johnny Dollar? I know you too
18:47
well? Are you to it wouldn't have to say no. The morning the
18:52
dog disappeared, you were a million's apartment. Weren't you well before yesterday?
19:00
No? For sure positive. I was in my office all morning. What
19:03
time did you get there? You remember? Yes, we've been very busy
19:07
lately getting the Big Shock ready for the air. It was about eight forty
19:10
five. The secretary will swearter than natural. Honey, where are you going?
19:14
Like a couple of phone calls, you're right back. I called Bill's
19:18
office, spoke to a secretary and of course he had lied. Instead of
19:22
going back to the table like at a cab to my hotel, I made
19:26
a couple of more phone calls and wedding About forty minutes later, Bill Fisher
19:30
called and asking to meet him at a bar near Rockefeller Center. You like
19:33
a drake, Johnny oh ranks right now? No, I figured you'd be
19:37
thirsty. You've been such a busy little boy. What do you mean?
19:40
You know what I mean? Calling my secretary, then calling the Happy Hollow
19:44
people to find out whose idea it was to advertise offering fifty grand for a
19:48
talking dog. Oh. I wouldn't be ashamed of having that idea if I
19:51
were you. It's a good one, except for one thing. It was
19:53
meant strictly for the publicity value. Nobody ever heard of a dog that could
19:56
really talk, so I guaranteed them their fifty five would be safe. Go
20:02
on. See, it was tough enough getting the Happy Hollow people to put
20:04
a show on TV in the first place. They really don't have that kind
20:07
of money. And if they'd had to pay out the fifty grand on top
20:11
of everything else, well that would be it. We lose their account,
20:15
I'd lose my job. Ah. So what did you do with mingtoy?
20:19
Well, naturally, since she could talk, I had to get rid of
20:22
her. You understand that, don't you. How did you get into the
20:26
Gillis apartment. That was easy. I'd been there the night before. When
20:30
I left, I slipped the latch to the door wouldn't lock when they went
20:33
out to breakfast. The next morning, I went in. I was going
20:37
to put in that box and carry her out, but she put up such
20:40
a fussy. Well, I just tossed her out the window into the river.
20:45
Yes, dollar into the East River. But what can they do about
20:48
it? After all, mingtoy was only a dog. It wasn't like he
20:52
was a person, So what could you do about it? I'm not sure,
20:56
but whatever it is, I hope it's I left him there and walked
21:03
down sixth all anymore. When I reached the corner of fifty first, I
21:06
called Marianne and asked her to meet me in a little park somehow, I
21:11
told her as simply and directly as I could. We kind of funny,
21:18
isn't it, John? I don't know. Heaven sure, I hadn't met
21:25
none of this. What ever happened, Dad would still be feeling chipper.
21:30
I might have been engaged to somebody else, maybe even a nice I like
21:34
you, and he things like this to happen. I don't know where I
21:44
just don't know. We were about a block away from her apartment when we
21:49
heard the end. We watched the turn in the fifty first street, then
21:53
stu. Then we were running. It's not I know. No, you
22:00
don't know any such thing. Oh all right, oh all right, now
22:03
keep back. Gives the man roam for conny. I'm not going in the
22:07
building. Oh no, they're doing something out there in the middle of the
22:10
street. There there, oh there, what's happened? That sounds like a
22:15
little girls caught down there under the street under the lady and the drain piper
22:18
goes down to the river. Are you sure it's a little girl. I'm
22:21
not a dog, you kidding? Dogs can't talk like that, like what
22:25
right, Well, it sounds like she's trying to say something about a dog
22:29
food being yum yum, yummy. It's your fine man. Excuse me,
22:33
hey, come back there. I joined the power of water. Man would
22:40
lifted up a manhole cover and put down a ladder. He didn't make us
22:42
long under the street. That's a couple of minutes and we'd climbed back out
22:47
again. Yells us, where is she? Where's still down? You left
22:56
her? Galla, No, there, she's fine, your back, well,
23:00
maybe you better look for yourself together. Less back, God, you
23:04
cad, you just tast comming me. Come on, dolla, come on,

24:19
She called me, Papa, Papa, Well you nodding by gallic?
24:29
Well have I got so the fuck? I guess Menjoy, Yes, yes
24:33
he must have. Yes, indeed, Papa, listen, Johnny, I'm
24:44
a game father. I never did tell gillis exactly how Manjoy had been helped
24:56
out of all he knew was would marry four reasons of her own, and
25:00
has called off her engagement to Bill Mingtoy has spent a Wigan's dad recovering from
25:06
her ordeal. And naturally, since Gillis refused to let her appear on TV
25:10
that night, the fifty thousand dollars went unclaimed and alas the long suffering public
25:15
has yet to hear the dulcet tones of a talking dog named Mingtoy Murphy.
25:22

26:25
Be sure to join us next week, same time and stations, or another
26:29
exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny dollars. This is Dan cobberly speaking.
26:52
Welcome back, Howard McNear playing a quirky character. Haven't i've seen that before?
27:00
But seriously, he always does a good job on that. And I
27:06
love Johnny's reaction to the guy who threw the poor little dog in the water.
27:11
But of course they had to give us a happy ending. This was
27:15
just a pretty light and easygoing Johnny Doller. I should mention that there were
27:21
two lost episodes between the last week's show and this week's. The two lost
27:26
episodes episode five hundred and twenty eight The Hollywood Matter, an episode five hundred
27:33
and twenty nine, The Moonshine Murder Matter, and next week's Well, we
27:38
actually were missing the following week's program, though after that we go through a
27:44
pretty nice run through the rest of nineteen fifty seven and into nineteen fifty eight,
27:52
where only two of the next thirty nine episodes are missing. Well,
27:56
today's program was a little bit short. We're going to give you a little
28:00
bonus audio. Bob and Ray were a comedy team over CBS, and they
28:07
parodied a lot of radio material in the late fifties, and they had their
28:11
own parody of detective series so this comes from the same era as Johnny Dollar.
28:18
It's a three minute recording of their Ace Willoughby International Detective sketch from July
28:26
the one of nineteen fifty nine. I'm now to join Ace Willoughby International Detective
28:41
as he involves himself in the Marlick Each affair. Well, I never thought
28:52
I'd be in Marrack Each again. Spot here they call Americ Beach, the
28:56
last furnace of the far East. Then who had find what I wanted?
29:00
Here in the marketplace? American? American? Well over here you appear to
29:06
be a better one, My good man, I have but to drop my
29:07
bernus a bit. You will see it as your old friend Lieutenant Daucier is
29:11
the Aziers police. Well it is U Dauce. But I thought this old
29:15
French policeman is one tough man to kill. Will be We're being watched.
29:19
Pretend you're buying something from me, all right, Duce arab? How much
29:25
follow the string of bees, the ones with the different colors? Now listen
29:27
closely. Here are some papers. You will be known as Peppy Perdue first
29:33
mate on the Lisbon Queen. That's too much or just beads? How much
29:37
is that miniature bronze camel with the wrist watch on its next stop, shouting
29:41
American with people who are watching have left. Nah, you have your orders.
29:45
Well, I'm to walk at the end of the street of broken noses
29:48
Americ each house, thend them to go to room six and knock on the
29:52
door precisely right, sayce, who are we at there? If I knew
29:56
that, my friend, I'd know a lot. No, Max, No,
30:15
maybe one of us. Who are you, sir? I'm happy Purdue
30:18
first mate on the Lisbon queen. I think we're here in dry dark for
30:22
repairs, you know, papers. Please, he seemed to be in order.
30:26
Mister Purdue, come in please, nights, Max, go to the
30:33
other room. He must excuse Max, mister pidue, he cannot express himself
30:37
too well since the accident. Would you believe he was once Minister of Finance
30:42
in the old country? Well familiar, yes, then you must also know
30:47
my colleagues seated over there, Kernique, Schultz and von Oberdorffer. Gentlemen,
30:53
we have work to do now. We all agreed we can trust mister Purdue.
30:59
Right, Well, that's certainly a show of good faith. Mister Perdeu.
31:03
You will see to it that Kernig shoots and run over Darfer board to
31:07
Lisbon, Queen tonight. I guess three more won't make any difference on ship
31:11
that size. Good. You will proceed from here to a designated point in
31:15
the North Atlantic and rendezvous with you both number thirty six. Then you and
31:19
the others we board the submarine and proceed to sink and harass as many Allied
31:26
ships as you can. But it's fantastic. This is nineteen fifty nine,
31:30
all to our advantage, mister Perdue. The element of surprise is on our
31:34
side, and I'm sending Max with you, so no tricks. Welcome back.
31:52
They had a very interesting sense of humor. It was an acquired taste,
31:56
and I don't think I acquired it. But if you get, if
32:00
you have and you enjoy it, I am very glad. All right.
32:04
Well on to some listener comments and feedback. Now. James emails in and
32:09
says, I drive one hour each way to work every day. I love
32:15
listening to Johnny Dollar podcast. Thanks from an old Kentucky farmer. And we
32:21
also have another note regarding Johnny Dollar, and this one comes from listener Wale.
32:30
That's waldash E right and in. First of all, I wanted to
32:35
thank you for discovering the wonderfully entertaining radio detective shows of the past. I
32:39
had no idea it was such a huge genre and of such for the most
32:44
part, high quality. You do a great job with the program's website and
32:46
enjoy the usual short informationals that accompany them. My first experience was with a
32:52
Johnny Dollar multi part episodes, and I was immediately hooked. When the multi
32:57
part episodes ended, I was crushed. I like them much more more than
33:00
the unit episodes. They are so well done. Suggestion, when the Johnny
33:04
Dollar programs have run their course, you go right into the multipart episodes again
33:07
and re rack the whole thing. It's an interesting idea. I would probably,
33:14
you know, most shows, if I was going to do it again,
33:16
I would put a significant waight between finishing the show and starting again.
33:23
But with Johnny Dollar, it's really a little bit different, just because of
33:31
the fact that we're dealing with a series that ran for a total of thirteen
33:39
years plus you know, a few hiatuses in the middle there, with six
33:45
actors appearing on air in the title role. I would probably, though not
33:50
go back to the first of the serial stories, though i'd probably go back
33:55
to the beginning and Charles Russell, and also some time for researchers to find
34:01
new episodes that were lost, but that's several years away and we have definitely
34:10
some time. But if you did enjoy the serials, I do have some
34:14
great news for you. Be sure and listen to the first of our listener
34:22
support campaign, and actually every Sunday during the listener support campaign, we will
34:29
feature an omnibus version of the Johnny Dollar a Serial Story. And what that
34:34
means is we'll have all five parts together so you can listen to and download,
34:40
and this will be part of our listener support campaign and we'll be getting
34:45
started with that on August twenty fourth, so I'll be listening for that.
34:52
All right, Well, that will do it for today. We'll be back
34:54
tomorrow with Dragnet and then next Friday another episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
