1:34
As we take a listen to the Alder Matter Parts one and two from
1:41
Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar, Big Kelly, Johnny Worldwide Mutual.
1:49
How's your Spanish mother told me there be days like this one egg and
1:53
your beer. I gotta be a linguist, yet you may have to be
1:56
a lot more than that to un scramble this one. Tell me about it.
1:59
Oh, price is still the same though, Get on over here,
2:01
will you? Sure? But give me a little hint. I'd like to
2:04
start worrying early, all right, try this, William Billy Alder, the
2:07
promoter world's number one salesman. I'll be again, down again, older,
2:12
the same, and at this point he's up up to his ears and ven'z
2:15
a whale and oil. We're carrying a quarter of a million life on him.
2:17
Ooh, I'd settled for the premiums VIC. How come you're worrying?
2:21
You worried to carrying coverage and size, especially with aldr behaving like he is,
2:24
like like changing his beneficiary five times in a month. What would you
2:29
say? That means? Means I'll be right over tonight and every weekday night.
2:40
Bob Bailey in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed Expense
2:45
Account, America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigators Truley Johnny Dollar from special Investigator Johnny Dollar
3:04
to the home office Worldwide Mutual Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following
3:07
is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Alder matter. Expense account
3:19
Item one A dollar thirty five the price of being taxi to Vic Kelly's office
3:22
at Worldwide Mutual for a normally easygoing fellow, mister Kay had a bad case
3:27
of how did I ever get into this? Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?
3:30
That's a big policy, big, You look like the claim's already been
3:34
files. Smile a little, dad, Yeah, sure, at least fill
3:37
me in. How much do you know about Billy Alder Oh? Just surface
3:40
stuff? What the headlines say? Promoter wildcatter, super salesman, fellow with
3:46
a flair for selling anything. Why that's what's rough. I can't give you
3:50
too much more than that. He's been in a dozen different businesses, headed
3:53
up a half a dozen corporations, a couple of bankruptcy's, even a nasty
3:57
court case. He's been flat broken six months later, been a walking blue
4:00
chip, been up and down more times than a yo yo. Oh.
4:03
It's a nice life if you can take it, But feast or famine.
4:05
He does everything big like the quarter of a million policy. Huh, I
4:10
didn't see him out of line three years ago. It still doesn't, not
4:13
with the kind of money he's dragging out of the ground in Venzuela and oil.
4:16
Hey, this changing of beneficiaries, when did it begin? A little
4:20
over a month ago? In succession, it's been his wife, his daughter,
4:25
a brother, back to the wife, and now it's his daughter again.
4:28
Sounds like a woman trying to make up her mind about a dress price
4:30
tag's a little different. What does it sound like to you? Give me
4:34
a chance to get down there and look, would you? I mean off
4:36
the top of your head. Oh, sounds like he's worried, like he
4:41
shouldn't buy any long playing records. Look, Johnny, there's a clause in
4:44
the policy that lets us investigate our regularities. Go take a look. Just
4:48
don't expect him to cooperate. He's a big operator type fella. I don't
4:51
know. I never met him, but I like him already. His style,
4:55
any man who uses his slogan like we lose a little on each deal,
4:59
but think of the well he's for me. I gotta keep him alive.
5:04
Expense account at him two three hundred and twenty nine dollars and eighty eight
5:08
cents airfare and incidentals to Caracas, Venezuela. It was about noon Sunday when
5:14
the big plane lays in over the Caribbean shoreline, pointed its nose for the
5:17
Magida Airport in Caracas. Blow has spread. What's laughing they call man's handiwork
5:21
his progress. A few short years ago it had been nothing but lush,
5:26
green jungle. Then came men shouting the magic word oil, and the jungle
5:30
was now disappearing as fast as they could. Throw up the dereks and sink
5:32
the drills. Progress. A taxi to the hotel Peria and a good lunch
5:38
adds up to white him three four bucks even I was ready for business.
5:46
Knocking around in this game you learn a lot of ways to save steps on
5:50
another country deal. For instance, the local police chief is one person you
5:54
can't ignore. He can save you more than steps blood. Sometimes he turned
6:00
out to be thirty five ish, bright, relaxed. They might have changed
6:02
the jungle, but nothing was going to order have a Valasca style. He
6:05
took his time, even after I told him why I was here. I'm
6:11
sorry about the sealing funds and your dollar. Oh what's wrong with it?
6:14
It's working, see, but this old fashioned, not like the how you
6:17
say air condition in estadas needles. No problem. I'm comfortable with all the
6:23
money from the oil. You think they may modern these offices. No is
6:28
air conditioned in the home, in the car, but not in the office
6:31
at least this one. Hmm A fan. I don't get to it if
6:35
I get the feeling you're steering away from discussing Billy older, of course,
6:41
and there must be a reason, see, because I do not want to
6:43
give you the bomb cow oh bomb steer. What I mean is there is
6:48
nothing to put the finger on to look at them. Is a nice family
6:53
with lots of money, living in a big, expensive house. But you
6:57
spend a couple hours there, you know it's not that way. It's nothing
7:01
you can see but all underneath you ever see an oil welfire, Juanito,
7:10
all the burning and burning under the ground. Then when it's enough force,
7:15
who's everything explode? To the guy, it's exactly what you expect. When
7:18
will happen to these people someday? It's still it's hard to figure exactly why
7:25
that is all? Yeah, well, thanks, I appreciate what you've given
7:30
me, Now, what's the best way to get to the house. You
7:32
go there, Huh, that's where the job is. It's easy enough to
7:35
get to I tell you how. You might have asked a question. I
7:39
may shoot in your own office. You got a fan or air condition?
7:46
When I left him, he was even weighing the idea of spending his own
7:49
money for an air condition. I went right on spending company money. For
7:55
instance, ide him four thirty nine dollars and fifty five cents deposit in first
7:58
days rental on a un dry of automobile. A twenty minute drive over the
8:01
auto Pista that's a six lane mountain top freeway, less traffic jams, brought
8:05
me to La Gierra, a clean, scrub looking suburb on the edge of
8:07
the Caribbean. The older house wasn't hard to find, huge and impressive.
8:11
It sat all by itself in a high promontory jutting out into the sea.
8:18
I suddenly found that I'd become Jay Dollar intruder, because in the doorway of
8:22
the house, a very luscious young lady was being enthusiastically and expertly kissed by
8:26
a handsome young man. My cough must have been pretty frightening. Because the
8:33
boy took off around the house like a quarter horse. Not so the girl.
8:35
She glared angrily as she came toward me. I hope you're satisfied.
8:41
Well, embarrassed, it's a better word. I'm sorry about my time.
8:43
I'll bet you are well. Look, man can be now that you've got
8:46
something to tell my father. We'll go ahead and tell you. If you'd
8:48
only slow down to tell him something else, that he can hire as many
8:52
detectives as he likes. It still won't keep me from seeing Paul. It
8:56
looks like he'll need track shoes to see him. Now. Very funny,
8:58
assuming that was Look, I don't assuming. Oh Now, look, lady,
9:03
you never gave me a chance to explain. Not too hard to figure
9:07
why he Well who you think I am? But I'm not. My name
9:11
is Johnny Dollar, and you're right about only one thing. I do want
9:13
to see your father, but not for the reason you think. Okay,
9:16
but I I'm sorry, mister Dollar got to we friends now. I'm Peggy
9:22
older. Yeah, I figured as much. Would you like to come in
9:26
and wait? Mister dor Wait, my father isn't home at the moment.
9:28
He shouldn't be over an hour though, fine, you won't say anything about
9:33
what you saw about Paul. I mean, lady, the world is full
9:37
of trouble. Why should I add to her. Billy Older's selling methods may
9:48
have been wild, high pressure stuff, but there was taste in his home.
9:54
And uh. When Peggy Older put a drink into my hand and led
9:56
me out to a patty, oh, I was ready to get a drill
9:58
and go hunting myself Prattio. It was a small, exclusive man made mountaintop
10:05
six hundred feet down to the Caribbean on three sides. If you are going
10:09
to have troubles, this was the place to ponder them. Peggy Owlers still
10:13
didn't trust me completely Inexpertly, she tried to dig out my reason for being
10:16
gave up after a while, then excused herself when her father showed up an
10:20
hour later. I'm glad you're here, dollarm what's wrong? Oh just surprised.
10:30
Yes, I expected to be tossed out. Why kind of delegate asking
10:35
a man why he changes beneficiaries like some men changed suits. I read the
10:39
policy your company is allowed to ask. We appreciate your feeling that way,
10:43
but it says nothing about my having to answer. No. That's right.
10:46
It doesn't. But it's hard not to draw conclusions such as, you're afraid
10:52
somebody is, shall we say, gunning for you, but you don't know
10:56
who. Am I right? Is that what You're company thinks too? Well,
11:01
they don't think anything, but they like to know you enjoy your trip
11:05
down, mister Dollar. Well, i'd take it. I've worn out my
11:07
welcome. Sorry, no, no, no, sit down. I told
11:11
you I was glad you're here. Then you shouldn't mind a couple of questions.
11:15
I'll tell you nothing, mister Dollar. I admit nothing. Is that
11:18
clear? Is it? Look? Here, your company is a good deal
11:22
to lose by my death. We just want to be sure nobody's thinking of
11:26
it as a commercial venture. And stay here, mister Dollar, here in
11:30
this house, keep me alive. Behind the calm control demeanor, Billy Alder
11:43
was loaded with fear, the worst kind of fear, the grinding, implacable
11:46
kind of terror that for some reason has to be hidden. Two hours later,
11:52
my bags had been sent for, and I was comfortably settling the guests
11:54
from only slightly larger in the Pennsylvania station. By the dinner time that night,
11:58
the only other people seen in the house with the servants all her,
12:01
his daughter and I sat down to eat along. I mist apologized for missus
12:07
Ler's absence, mister Dollar. She went to the bull fights. Today she's
12:09
staying in town for dinner with the others. You have several guests staying with
12:15
us, charming people. Mister Dollar, wait till you meet. I think
12:18
we can do without that kind of talk. Piggy, are you defending them?
12:22
Father yests? Don't you mean leeches parasit? That'll at least they'd have
12:26
the manners not to start a thing like this in front of mister Dollar.
12:30
You may be excused any time you likes. Incidentally, thank you for disobeying
12:35
my orders to keep Paul Kincaid away from this house. You told him after
12:41
you promised, mister Dollar told me nothing. You seem to forget that servants
12:45
have eyes and ears. I'm sorry, didn't mean to embarrass you, mister
12:52
Dollar. I'm sorry. Kids can't do anything with him these days. Headstrong,
12:58
no sense of values. Not Paul Kincaid an oil field foreman. Can
13:03
you see him fitting in his Peggy's husband in the billy All their enterprises quite
13:09
a step up if he can make it. Believe me he never will.
13:18
After dinner, Haller and I headed for that fabulous patio. I hoped he
13:22
would open up, but he kept the talk general, charming, witty but
13:26
simply conversation. Truth me, I wasn't too unhappy because the setting was one
13:31
of those once in a lifetime things. I couldn't take my eyes away from
13:35
the lights far below, the glittering shorelines stretching from Caraniero all the way to
13:39
Puerto Cabello. That's when it happened. The bullets smashed into the wooden canopy
13:45
support, just inches from Older's head, so close that the splinters flew buried
13:48
themselves in his cheek. Mister Oler, you are right, I think,
13:52
so stay here. I raced back through the house, headed for the front
13:54
office as fast as I could. Outside, I tried to stare through the
14:00
darkness into the only direction from which that shot couldna come, the rolling jungle
14:03
slope of the promontory. Sure it looked deserted, but I knew it wasn't.
14:07
Someone had to be out there with five more bullets in his gun and
14:11
murder in his heart. This is correct, police, I have heavy if
14:35
Alaskas returning your car. Thanks, I have this send your dollar heavy glaious
14:41
good morning on me off it is huh here, it is here? It
14:43
ain't where is there? The older house and a gaiata. I'm staying here
14:48
at all his requests? Ah, you are? I had a call a
14:52
fast more. Sorry, but felicitations are a little out of place. Trouble.
14:58
Someone came with an inches of kill older last night. I've got the
15:01
bullet. How's your ballistics set up at your disposal? Just bring it in,
15:05
thanks, I will. Maybe it's got something to say. I hope
15:07
you're right, but I mean, yeah, don't you think is in this
15:11
bullet you should be worrying about? From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar location in Caracas,
15:24
Venezuela to the home office Worldwide Mutual Insurance Company, Hertford, Connecticut assignment
15:30
the alder matter expense account continued expenser count on him five five dollars even tip
15:41
to one. Not just coman servant in the big older house for a good
15:45
reason. He hadn't liked the idea of my prowling the slope alone last night
15:48
looking for someone with a gun. He'd insisted on joining me. True,
15:52
we hadn't found anything, but he'd been there five bucks as much to pay
15:56
for a friend, and I had a feeling I could use one. I
16:00
ate breakfast alone, although had already gone to his office and the rest of
16:03
the house was asleep. Nature was breakfast ray rattle when he saw the money
16:07
for me? Why oh call it appreciation. You didn't have to follow me
16:14
out there last night. You could have been hurt, singor you don't know.
16:17
The slope is a long drop to the bottom and lumpy. I didn't
16:22
expecd money. I did not do it for that. I know. Go
16:26
ahead, second, uh something? I tell you something, senior, When
16:33
you go running out there last night, I was sure you would find nobody.
16:37
Oh would yourself for yourself too much? How you call the bushes?
16:44
Do you think they could be standing right next to you and you wouldn't know?
16:48
Then? Why didn't you come streaking out after me? I told you
16:51
he's a long way done. One wrong step, And in the States,
16:56
that's an old joke. The punchline has watched that first step. It's abute.
17:06
I got in the car I'd rented the previous day and headed toward Caracas.
17:10
I passed the driving time pleasantly by counting oil wells from that I graduated
17:14
to trying to figure how much money they made with each given stroke of the
17:17
huge pumps. Nice kind of occupation, sure specifically designed for a purpose to
17:22
keep me from worrying about the business in hand, namely, why super salesman
17:26
Billy alder And sured for a quarter of a million dollars should change his beneficiaries
17:30
five times in a single month. Further, who'd taken that pot shot at
17:34
him last night? Answers? I went back to counting oil wells in Caracas.
17:41
I headed for police headquarters and the head man have fe Lesquez. He
17:45
turned the bullet over to his lab, but they were shorthanded. By lunchtime,
17:48
I still had no report, so I took Lascaz to lunch for a
17:52
man who is living in a house like Billy Alders, who do not look
17:56
happy on me. Though that bullet traveled an inch more to the left.
17:59
Billy wouldn't need a house. It's a good point. You look too serious
18:03
for a nice lunch. I fished that, Hey, damn it, those
18:07
piscos. You you have a drink. The piscos, no, will it
18:12
help? But they do not solve the case for you, but they make
18:15
you happier about being worried. Maybe we'd better order doubles. It's confusing the
18:21
older house. What do you think keep them alive? Older says, But
18:25
that's the only word you can get out of me. You fear the thing
18:27
I mentioned yesterday, the tension, the strangeness. The only ones I've met
18:33
are Older and his daughter. You haven't met Missus Older any of the others.
18:37
Why they got home late after the shooting way after? Interesting? Oh
18:42
sure it could have been any of them out on that slope. I do
18:48
not worry about you, amigo. You will do fine, well, I
18:51
will. Here's something else interesting. All that doesn't want me to question any
18:53
of them about that shot. Uh you noticed there was no complaint to your
18:57
office about the murder. Try. I know because all they wanted it that
19:02
way, Like I say, interesting, Ah my gracious waiter you sip that.
19:07
I mean, go see if it does not help, it's good,
19:15
Oh, very nice, it will be nicer. Just give you time.
19:18
You you still have the senior billy older on your mine. Eh. Yeah,
19:23
have another sip. Hey, see something else in my mind? I
19:29
mean you got to learn to relax. Johnny. You mentioned Missus Older a
19:33
few minutes ago, seemed surprised I hadn't met her. What are you thinking
19:37
of just that you living at the house. It's more than that. I
19:42
mean, god, you are a match. Come on, come on now,
19:45
level with me. I'm far enough out in left field as it is.
19:48
Write it off as professional courtesy. Huh, you are a pretty nice
19:52
looking fellow, Mio. Don't snow me. I am simply trying to answer
19:56
your question, Johnny, missus Alder, how shall we say? It does
20:02
not make her angry to be seen in the company of a handsome man.
20:04
I see what's mister Alder's reaction. The eldest must be people are breathing if
20:11
they have a kwara lip is not in public. Thanks, but at the
20:15
risk of seeming ungrateful, you could have mentioned that yesterday. It's a pretty
20:19
good department, the Krakas Police, Amigo. You know why because I teach
20:25
them always one thing at a time. Coom brandy mucho, amigo? Come
20:30
on we eat. Then we got back to the lab. They have not
20:33
finished the fire. Everybody expense count adam six fourteen dollars eighty five cents.
20:44
Valaska has drunk enough Pisco sours to float the Normandy back at the police lamp.
20:48
I wish I'd kept pace with him, because all they could tell from
20:52
the bullet was that it had come from a looger. And Valaska has pointed
20:56
out there must be a couple of thousand lucas in Caracas. I had a
20:59
bank for the Older House of Algeria. Unless the members of that happy household
21:03
slept all day, somebody should be alive and stirring. And they were people
21:07
I wanted to meet badly, but I almost didn't make it. As I
21:11
approached the main gate, I noticed another car parked along the side of the
21:14
road about fifty feet from it. Suddenly it roared into life, shot forward,
21:18
screamed to a stop, cut me off, almost botting me into the
21:21
entrance pillars. You dined for. What's the matter with you, Lenny?
21:26
You know I am Dollar. I know this. If you ever try a
21:29
stunt like that again, I'll ran those pearly teeth right down your throat.
21:30
Tough guy, there's an easy way of finding out. We'll get to that
21:34
in a minute. I asked you if you knew who I am? Sure
21:37
I do. Paul Kincaid, the lad who was smooching with Billy Older's daughter
21:40
yesterday you taking bows? You just couldn't wait to tell Alder about it?
21:44
Could you? Your girl's been telling you lives kincaid, I just happened to
21:47
be there. If you don't want to be seen on neck and doorways just
21:49
a minute. And speaking of people in wrong places, I thought you were
21:52
a forman in the oil fields. I don't see any dereks on the Older
21:56
property. I took the day off so I could come over and see you.
22:00
Well, you're getting a good look. Yeah, and I still think
22:03
all to hide you, to keep Peggy away from it. Now you keep
22:04
out of my head? Dollar, what are you staring for? Well,
22:10
now, everybody's full of wild ideas today I just had one that maybe isn't
22:14
so wild, Like maybe you just ed libbd a reason for being here,
22:18
and the real one is to sneak out on the slope and see if you
22:21
can't find an empty loga shell. What there has to be one out there,
22:23
you know, you say? And I took that shattered Older. I
22:26
don't know how bad do you want to marry into the all the money bunch
22:33
coming slipped it through my own. It was a jolly Wallett lasted. It
22:37
planned for too long. You get a set of arms working in an oil
22:41
feeling. He had them all right, and those bunches hurt. So I
22:45
went to Choto. Even then it was tough. I guess I better get
22:52
in shape or take up accounting. Look in the car mirror made one thing
23:00
clear. I couldn't take a face like that through the front door. When
23:03
I reached the house, I skirted it, managed to get to the service
23:07
entrance without scaring the life out of anyone. Here, my little gift to
23:10
not your go man seed Item five began to pay off. He hustled me
23:14
up to my room by the backstairs, and without waiting to be asked,
23:15
he got busy with bandages and things. You win, senor would you believe
23:23
it if I said yes? Only true politeness? I think? Oh better?
23:30
That one was pretty deep. God, I I was just thinking,
23:37
if you really win, I hate to see the loser. Thanks. What
23:41
I can do without seeing him again? That it is about the best I
23:47
can do. Well, okay, thanks so nice. Another just tell me
23:52
one thing. What is anything going on downstairs? How do you mean?
23:56
Well? That racket? We here? Come on? Racket? Oh you
24:00
mean El Montante Montanti, the bull fighter, the finest matador in the world.
24:06
Did you not know he's the guest of the house. He's staying here.
24:08
See the senor ad their big official others. They love the corrida new
24:14
style. Isn't it finding bulls in the house? Montanti? He just gave
24:18
how you see a demonstration of the passes with the kid. You know it's
24:26
beautiful? Why you not done? And watching? You see? You will
24:30
enjoy? It's lovely? The fine bullfighter? Anybody ever asked the ball about
24:36
that? After nat chose gentle administrations and a quick change of clothes, I
24:44
must confess I look slightly more than a human being. Again slightly, Anyhow,
24:48
I wanted downstairs, headed for the huge living room. I was like
24:53
walking into another world, alive and pulse, setting to the music from a
24:56
record player. Five or six people stood a around, hypnotically beating time,
25:00
their eyes glued to the great al Montante, a handsome Spaniard who skillfully worked
25:04
a bullfighter's cape in the center of the floor. Nacho hadn't exaggerated. Montante
25:11
was beautiful to watch, but the feeling wasn't unanimous. Billy Alder and his
25:15
daughter Peggy were the only people in the room I knew, and though they
25:18
beat time with the others, they both shared the same expression on their faces,
25:22
intense dislike for the man with the cape. As I shifted my attention
25:25
to them, a woman tore reluctant eyes away from the Matador and moved quietly
25:27
toward me. She wasn't really beautiful, but tremendously chic for one of a
25:33
better word, and that made her seem beautiful. I'm Constance Old and mister
25:37
Dowler. Welcome to our home. Oh thank you, missus Alder, I'm
25:40
afraid i'd been ned legend it's a hostess. Oh, we've just misconnections,
25:44
that's all, charmingly put. Do you mind if I wait to introduce her
25:47
to the others when Montanti's finished. No, of course not. Please go
25:49
on back. Don't worry about me. I'm doing fun. Thank you.
25:53
I watched her as she crossed the room, then realized that someone else was
25:57
doing exactly the same thing Billy all day, only the look on his face
26:03
was the same glaring dislike with which he'd favored the cape wining Matador. Interesting.
26:07
Then, after long moment, Constant Alder moved quietly out of the room
26:11
as though not wishing to disturb the others, the performance was still going strong,
26:15
and after about five minutes, I moved out onto the patio stood looking
26:18
down at the Laguierra Harbor because it was on my mind. I stared down
26:22
at the spot on the slope from which the logo had been fired, and
26:26
I saw that someone was there, awkwardly searching the ground. A moment later,
26:30
they straightened up moved a few feet to continue the search. Even in
26:33
the late afternoon sun. There couldn't be any mistake in the search's identity.
26:37
It was Constance Alder. Now here's our star to tell you about tomorrow's episode
26:56
of this week story. Tomorrow two sides. It's of the same old yarn,
27:00
and whichever side you choose, you've got to call it wrong. Join
27:04
us, won't you? Yours Truly Johnny Dollar. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar,
27:21
starring Bob Bailey, is transcribed in Hollywood, written by Tony Barrett. It
27:25
is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Be sure to join us tomorrow night
27:30
at same time and station for the next exciting episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
27:34
Roy Rowan speaking Welcome back, a good setup and we can definitely sense
28:41
this tense situation that the police inspector was talking about. I do not a
28:45
little bit of reputation on behindhalf of Tony Barrett. Tony Barrett your call wrote
28:52
the long Shot Matter. And in that story, long Shot was a promoter
28:59
who is life had been up and down. And here we have older,
29:02
a promoter whose life had been up and down. Of course, other than
29:06
that, the plots are entirely different. But hopefully that was a habit he
29:11
broke, as we don't necessarily want promoters in every story. All right,
29:15
Well, that will do it for today. We will be back tomorrow with
29:19
the casebook of Gregory Hood, and Wednesday we'll continue on with the Alder matter.
