Latest / Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — John Lund Era (1952–1954)
The Tupelo Oil Patch Murders
Aired: Mar 24th, 1953. Four insured oil workers are dead within weeks of each other in the boomtown of Tupelo, Texas, each beaten to death and each leaving behind a suddenly well-off widow. When the pattern looks too clean for coincidence, Johnny Dollar trades his expense-account suits for dungarees and a shovel to go undercover in the oil field himself. It's a tense slice of 1953 radio noir that blends hardboiled detective work with Johnny's trademark itemized wit.
