Adventures of the Man with the Action Packed Expense Account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator,
2:40
Yours truly Johnny Dollar. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, Location, Panama
3:00
to the home office he turned the mutual insurance Company Hertford, Connecticut assignment the
3:04
confidential matter expense account final page. It am fifteen a dollar and ten cents
3:13
taxi from my hotel, the Plaza Bolivar, in the office of Captain Garcia
3:15
Comandante Police. It had been over an hour and a half since I'd let
3:20
Ed Morgan point a gun at me and escape from the tiny fishing boat where
3:23
he'd been hiding out for the past month. I'd expected the police to capture
3:27
him within thirty minutes. There were only two highways out and they'd both been
3:30
blockaded immediately, But somehow Ed, driving a stolen police car, had escaped
3:35
the net. In fact, he'd done more than merely escape, as I
3:38
discovered when I walked into the massive Stone police headquarters. I send your dollar
3:43
police to sit you down. Thanks. The most surprise thing is, of
3:46
course, what do you mean you will remember? You say? As a
3:49
final idea to keep watching at the hotel of the Sien you're about it?
3:52
Yeah, I thought I might try to get in touch with when I see,
3:54
so I do this thing. I sent too man and they watched for
3:58
one hour. Okay, bobos fools. Why so they do not see the
4:01
Senor Morgan. They do not see the Senor about it, But only after
4:05
one hour do they think to talk with the manager. You know what he
4:08
said? What Senor Morgan confine minutes before they do, and he takes the
4:12
Senor away in the car. What the devil for against Sabby Senor driving a
4:16
stolen car and just one jump ahead of the police and he risks his neck
4:20
to go after her. Why where's visus? Well, belle local and ri
4:25
meaning this love is sometime make a man crazy in the head. Don't buy
4:29
that one is something I am not understand. So good, Senor, what's
4:32
that? How is it you all know all about this criminal? He wasn't
4:36
always a criminal, guy, Sier. He was one of my best friends
4:41
for twelve years. And then I am much sympathy with you, Senor.
4:45
Is too unfortunate that you are have the job for arresting Well, I didn't
4:48
know he was alive when I took the job. Kid this the company ran
4:53
an order on his books and found an Eddy grind shortage. I went to
4:56
San Francisco to find out what happened to the money. Ed was supposed to
5:00
dead at the time. We all thought. So then, I do not
5:02
understand why you have come here to Panama. I came to talk to this
5:05
snicky Barrett, the woman he'd been running around with. I stumbled on to
5:09
him. By luck or accident or whatever you want to call it. Ka
5:13
Courio says Levida to leave his life two fish, Senor, When he's never
5:16
certain what he may pull up on the hook. And I pulled up one
5:19
here and I'd like to throw it back. And I guess you don't have
5:23
much choice for you on dispensing. Whya eh get DC See see you say
5:30
sucker del mar some What is he gonna say? Hi? I lost him?
5:39
See theven nemosa urta. See what's wrong? What's happened? Senor Morgan
5:45
and the Senora. They have been found where they have tried to escape by
5:47
the whole road on the cliff. He's abandoned, very dangerous. They missed
5:51
one bad curve and go into the ocean. In the ocean, Senor,
5:55
the car is under ten meters of water. There is no sign of life.
6:00
Expencer con Adem sixteen seventy five dollars charter fee and one power launch.
6:05
This included the services of a diver and line tender. We were just playing
6:09
lucky on this when a salvage company happened to be working in the port and
6:12
had a man and equipment free at the moment. We took off along the
6:15
coastline and in less than an hour we'd dropped anchor over the wreck and the
6:17
diver had been lowered beneath the surface. The sea was calm against the rocks,
6:24
but the water wasn't clear enough to see more than just the outline of
6:27
the car lying over thirty feet down on the bottom. While we waited for
6:30
the diver to come back up, I glanced toward the high cliff towering above
6:33
us. A month ago, there'd been another cliff like that in San Francisco.
6:40
Like I said, signor life is two strange sometime so is death.
6:45
This man, this woman they meet, They look one at each other,
6:47
and what are they thinking? A lot of things, maybe, but not
6:53
that they'd end up here like this got through it? Who can never know
6:57
if one day he worked off a second the diver coming up, let's see,
7:00
he's still bad. He doesn't have the system of telephone in this gas
7:03
kick can tuck in the water. I didn't have time to rig it up
7:08
well soon, though, I guess I'm more sorry for you sending your dollar
7:11
that your friend has to die like this. I faced the idea of his
7:15
death a month ago and accepted it. Then I had to face some other
7:18
things about him. Another shock. Noad doesn't seem to have much meaning.
7:24
It's just a matter of Hey, there's the diver. He's up to the
7:26
rail. Hey, let me give you a hand with that face plight.
7:30
I'll work on this side. It's very complicated. There's diving business. Yeah,
7:34
well this is kind of an old fashioned rigging. They got suits now
7:39
with self contained oxygen, independent control stuff the frogmen developed during and after the
7:44
war. Na give a kid. Fantastic though. Yeah, it's all right,
7:48
there we go, All right, Now, what's you find? Oh,
7:53
let me get a breath of royer. First, got to get that
7:58
compressor motor fixed, throws down, more sealed and oxigon. Come on,
8:01
how to look a dollar? It's a mess. That car must have rolled
8:05
over a dozen times coming down that cliff, all cracked up. Yeah,
8:09
but one of on doors half off and flattened back on the glasses slivered.
8:13
Looks like it had been bombed instead of just wrecked. Senor is the The
8:16
body of the woman is inside, but there's no chance of getting it out
8:20
without dropping a grappler and seeing if we can roll the car over and the
8:22
man let's see, No, just a woman. That's the only one down
8:30
there again, the same pattern, a car plunging off a cliff into the
8:37
ocean, and a body missing from it. But this time I was sure
8:41
it wasn't faked. Ed wouldn't have done a thing like that to Nikki,
8:45
not to Nikki, And yet his body was not in the wreck. I
8:48
looked again at the high wall of the cliff steep but not vertical. A
8:52
car would have rolled in bounced coming down, as the diver had said,
8:56
and one door was torn half off, the glass was smashed out. It
9:00
was a possibility, as far as I could see, the only possibility.
9:03
I had the captain run the launch in close. Then I jumped onto the
9:05
rocks and started to climb. The slope was gentler, and that I had
9:09
looked from the water, and the surface was broken by ravines, clumps and
9:13
thickets of traffic of plants climbed to the shelves, and the going was rough
9:18
and the long ways were impossible. I'd made it half way to the top
9:20
when I found him, jammed in the trough of a gully, broken,
9:24
badly hurt, it still alive, barely alive. That you, Johnny,
9:30
Yeah, he's an I get a footholding. We didn't make it, Jenny,
9:37
he didn't have a chance. That you should have realized, and maybe
9:41
I knew all Alan, better not try to talk. It's kind of funny
9:46
when you think about it. I mean, what happened here, just like
9:52
we did it in San Francisco. I mean, this time it's real,
9:58
lost control. This time it's real. Now he lies still there there,
10:03
police on the road up above, get some ropes down. Have you out
10:05
of here before you know. I forget it, Johnny, It's no use.
10:11
I'm all smashed inside. I can't even move, all right. Maybe
10:16
you got a broken bone oft too, But that's no reason to Don't lie
10:20
to me, Johnny. I'm dying. We both know it. Am I
10:26
right or not? Yeah? I'm afraid to write it. It doesn't matter
10:33
anymore. Oh yeah, tell me is Nikki she's tip? You're right about
10:46
her, Johnny, forget it. When you forget it. I made her
10:48
come with me in the car, held a gun on her. She got
10:54
mad, scared. She's built the whole story. Yeah, that doesn't make
10:58
it a difference. Now. I thought she came down here before she was
11:05
supposed to, because she just couldn't wait to join me. But she only
11:11
came to get the rest of the money. She wasn't planning to stay.
11:18
She didn't love me. Never did. She admitted it right before we went
11:26
off the cliff, but I thought she did, Johnny for a while,
11:33
and nobody else ever let me even think it. Please, Why don't you
11:37
try to forget about it? You know something, Johnny? If I was
11:43
to go back, I think I'd do the same thing again. Nikki,
11:50
the way she could be when she wanted to. It gets you got me
11:56
anyway crazy. Maybe there's just no answer for a guy like me except this.
12:07
I don't know it. I'm not a judge kind of figures. You
12:11
know, Nicky dying too. I bought her and paid for I at least
12:20
ought to be able to take her with me. After all, he's on
12:26
it. Yeah, the money once left of its inside my coat, give
12:35
it to more. Jellhim. I'm sorry. Make him understand you too,
12:43
Johnny. I'm sorry. I guess I didn't know what else to say.
12:52
Forget it, but I still think I'd do it all over again. See,
13:01
there are times we all go a little crazy. I got no right
13:07
to ask if you would, I sure appreciate it. I mean, if
13:13
you just treat hands with me, oh sure, here goes. Yeah,
13:22
I can't find your hand it's dark. I can't see where right here at
13:28
right here? I shake you ugly oldso agun. Thanks Johnny, thanks for

14:35

15:18
or another exciting story of yours, truly Johnny Dollar Cubanded speaking, welcome
16:15
back. I really, uh, from a dramatic perspective, enjoyed the conclusion
16:22
of this series. Really it showed the heart of Johnny Dollary, and I
16:27
think throughout the episode, really Johnny was struggling, not just with the sadness,
16:33
but with a lot of anger and confusion. And then he you know,
16:40
when you get to the end, he comes to the conclusion that whatever
16:47
had happened, that Ed had been his friend. And I thought that was
16:53
It just shows the class and the nature of Johnny Dollar as a character.
16:59
So I throw thought that I thought that was a great ending for this particular
17:03
serial. All right, well, listener comments and feedback, and we have
17:07
this from Nicholas, who don't ated the show, says Johnny Dollar has become
17:11

20:02
of good, she said. What isn't hello, Belle say, I've got
20:04
to report to you on the Andrew Windows atop that's fine poison. And the
20:08
murderer wasn't taking any chances, said him, enough to kill a horse.
20:12
That's that he finally got a murder without any mystery down here at homicide.
20:17
Windows was rich, his sister was poor, and his only relative he was
20:21
visiting her farm. Ever heard of a better motive or opportunity. Then hey,
20:26
come on, I'm going to show you something such as what such as
20:29
an old fashioned detective sergeant getting results in an old fashioned murder. Winter's sister
20:33
Molly Barton is in my office. I bet I have a murder confession in
20:37
an hour. Will come? Okay? I see you later. Pat.
20:40
All right, you've been pretty smart when a murder was tricky, mister Drew
20:45
Stephen. Now I want you to see a cop wrapping up a case in
20:48
an hour. All right, Belle, I'm an agreeable guy. Come on
20:52
in. Remember I said I'd have a confession in an hour. I'll get
20:56
so jumpy. Missus Barton. I just want you to tell mister Stevens here,
21:00
but you just told me there's nothing to tell I. I poisoned my
21:06
brother. It's unkind to speak ill of the dead, but he was the
21:10
meanest man in the whole world. He deserved to die. How did you
21:12
do it, missus Barton? And when while I was preparing supper last night,
21:18
I put some insect power that we use on the farm into his food.
21:22
Ah, that's the poison he found, all right though he sect side.
21:25
Okay, what you do with me, I alone in this principles in
21:29
my brother's death. I poisoned him and I'm glad I did so. He
21:33
drew what I tell you confession within an hour, I'll get it. Morton
21:38
speaking homicide. I'm sorry, missus Darton. You will realize that your confession
21:42
means yes, I do. I wish I could say I'm sorry, but
21:48
I'm not. Hey growl uh huh. I got that extense in corner at
21:52
corner. I want you to hear something, are you, missus Parton?
21:55
Wait out in that office? All right, this one here, Yeah,
22:00
I'll pick up the phone. Zo Okay, I've got it. Listen to
22:03
it. Hello, I'm still here. I want you to repeat what you
22:07
just told me very well. My name is John Button. My mother and
22:12
I worked at farm where Andrew Winters would sound dead this morning. I want
22:17
to tell you that I'm responsible for his death. I murdered him. Still
22:22
ask him how he did it? How did your murder? Winters? Barton?
22:26
I poisoned him with the insect killer we keep for our plants. I
22:30
just called to tell you on coming down to give myself up. Goodbye.
22:34
Well you heard it? What do you think I think you're doing very well.
22:38
Bill. You not only got one concession to a murder in an hour
22:41
as you promised, you have two concessions. Oh so, what say?
22:45
Pause? We're in on it, mother and son. I'll pin it on
22:48
both of them. Hey, look, there's a doctor in this case,
22:52
isn't there the one that had dinner at the Barton farm last night? Sure?
22:55
Dr Morton, he's still at the bottom farm, is there most of
22:57
the time he brought missus Barton into the world, who was her best friend.
23:03
It might be an idea for you and I to go up and see
23:04
him. What for we got two confessions to the murder. As soon as
23:08
young Barton gets here, this case is closed. Nor we've got to have
23:12
evidence, though we need a sample of that insecticide. Point might look at
23:17
the farm too, find out what grewe there, find out what grew there.
23:21
He says, I'll go, but I don't have to find out what
23:23
I raised on the Barton farm. They grew murderous crew, murderous brand into
23:34
doctor Morgan. There's no reason why I should sound it the other way.
23:38
He was the meanest, most wild tempered, cruelest individual I've ever known.
23:44
I had treated him from time to time. In fact, it may interests
23:47
you to know he was about to write to the State Board accusing me of
23:51
malpractic. That's a pretty damaging admission, considering that he was murdered, Doctor
23:55
Morgan. Doesn't really matter how damaging it is. Poisoned him. You have
24:00
another one. You killed Andrew Winters too. Here while we were eating,
24:04
I excused myself from the table, walked off to the shed where the button
24:08
keep their insect aside, got a little of it and put it in Winter's
24:12
coffee without anyone seeing. Well, you're batting wonderfully though. That makes three
24:17
confessions. Oh what's the difference? They were all in on us. I
24:19
don't know what that means exactly, but if it implies there was anyone else
24:23
involved, that not true. On my professional word of honor. I have
24:26
poisoned Andrew Winters myself without the knowledge or help of anyone else. That's fine.
24:33
It's only fair to tell you a few more soons. First, that
24:37
Andrew Winters was a very sick man. He couldn't have lived six months.
24:41
For the past two years he's been in continuous pain. You're not building a
24:45
mercy killing angle, are you. Doctor? The word mercy and Andrew Winters
24:51
should never be spoken together. Well, let's get downtown, coming groom,
24:56
No, I'm gonna stick around this form of bit. I'd tell Pat the
24:57
driver pulling the back to do. All right, I'll tell it the first.
25:02
I'm going to have her go out and rent Madison Square Garden so we
25:04
can hold all the people who are confessing they murdered Andrew Winter. All right,
25:22
all right, Pad, I'm coming. Well it's about time. So
25:27
this is a place where Winters was murdered. And what have you been doing?
25:30
Spring plan and stop making those bad jokes? All right, and now
25:37
suppose you tell me why I'm here. You're no better than that Pat.
25:41
We're working. Come here with me. I want to show you that we
25:45
know Andrew Winter's arrived up here yesday afternoon at fourth thirty to spend a week
25:48
at this farm. Right right now, he got here at four thirty yesterday
25:52
afternoon. Yes, this was his room. The money is what we wanted
25:57
to be a detective. Pan, I'll show you something. Yeah, this
26:03
is a bad winds brought with him. I'll open it quiet, Yeah,
26:10
looking sad, all right, I'm looking. It's just the well packed day
26:14
and we know that, for all his cruelty, Winters was a scrupulously clean
26:18
man. Anything missing in the bag? I'm not exactly experience. And then
26:25
traven day, but looks like he brought enough stuff for a week. Noticed
26:27
anything else? Mm? No? He will? Hey a look at this
26:34
winter's wallet. Remember he was a cheap, miserly individual, looking sade.
26:40
Okay, just a lot of money in a couple of identification cards. Remember
26:45
he came down here from quite a distance. Do you notice anything missing?
26:48
Now? Nope, you will very short and our pat who and I are
26:53
going back to headquarters. Add another confession to the three, though already has
26:57
are you kidding? Another one? Who? Mind? Pat? Dear?
27:00
I've got to go back and confess what up until now has been a serious
27:03
bit of overlooking the facts on my part. Everyone is chilly. I don't
27:14
know what they're trying to do with those individual confessions, but it won't work.
27:18
I'll pin this Winter's murder on all of you. I don't think you
27:19
will. Bill, get out of here, Row, I'm busy. I'm
27:22
gonna make these three admits that we're working together on a Winn's murder. I've
27:25
got to reteat though, I don't think you will. You don't think I
27:27
will ease? Why not, because there wasn't any murder. No, you're
27:32
gonna tell me Winters ain't dead. Oh no, he's very dead though,
27:34
But Drew, Please, these people confess they poison them, if they poison
27:38
them, all right, but they didn't kill him. Let me tell you
27:41
all what actually happened. First, Winters, who was a spotlessly neat man
27:48
and who was supposed to stay a week, didn't bring a single extra shirt
27:52
or a pair of pajamas with him in his belief. Oh what, well,
27:55
we knew he was gonna be murdered. That's ridiculous. He couldn't have
27:56
known. Next, Winters was a penny pinching individual. When I looked in
28:03
his wallet, I found he hadn't bought a return ticket on the train.
28:06
Yeah. Well, that means he never expected to come back, because by
28:10
buying the return transportation he could have saved ten dollars. I still say,
28:14
expected to be murdered. And that's the reason. How well, that isn't
28:17
the reason, Doctor Morgan. Winters came to the farm at fourth thirty.
28:22
Supper was served at six o'clock, and he was dead at six thirty,
28:26
right, it's correct. Still, take a little reporter I just got from
28:29
the medical examine. It says the poison he found in Winters took at least
28:33
two hours to work, regardless of the quantity. Who cares about that?
28:37
I do? You see? It was all I needed to prove a thought
28:41
I had. Doctor Morgan will tell you that Winters was living in agony and
28:45
on borrowed time. He wanted to die, but he was so downright mean
28:49
he wanted somebody to be blamed for so so he went to the farm and
28:53
the minute he got there at four thirty, he swallowed some of that insect
28:57
poison, knowing we'd find it in him. We had died and blamed the
29:00
bar They poisoned them, all right, But at six o'clock, an hour
29:04
and a half after he had poisoned himself. You mean to tell me that
29:08
all of these three people did see that guy poisoned. And I got three
29:11
confessions and still no murderer. Not today, though. All you've got is
29:15
what is known as a first rate suicide of a third rate scoundal. Welcome
29:25
back. Well, I actually found this a solid episode. It's certainly not
29:27
original premises, but you know, we don't necessarily need those on this show.
29:33
I thought it was well done. The only thing was Bill again wanting
29:37
to show to show Drew something that wasn't extraordinary, and I want to show
29:47
you how a police officer can solve the case if the criminal comes in and
29:52
confesses. U. Yeah, you know, I'm in my mind. I'm
30:00
making a list of the police officers portrayed in radio like as the fictional foils
30:10
to detectives. And if Drew didn't work for the police himself, I think
30:15
that Bill would have ranked a little bit towards the bottom. But other than
30:21
that, I thought it was a decent puzzle mystery and a little bit of
30:26
a different span. If you recall, we had a similar case over on
30:32
Mister Malone a few weeks back and just kind of went in entirely. This
30:37
one went an entirely different direction. All right, Well, now we have
30:41
some more listener comments. Mark has a comment regarding Cairo. I lived in
30:47
Cairo in nineteen ninety nine. Places like the tambourine are few and far between.
30:52
Fifty years after the airing of this episode, the Quran forbids the consumption
30:56
of alcohol, therefore its availability is was limited to big hotels, fancy restaurants
31:03
in the back markets. By the way, the Koran doesn't mention cigarettes,
31:07
so they are all over the place. Also, a thousand Egyptian pounds equally
31:11
five thousand dollars may have been true in nineteen forty nine, but today it's
31:15
about one hundred and forty four dollars. Well, how times it changed,
31:19
and I appreciate the update. And I guess that does kind of addresses I
31:27
remember one listener said that, you know, he wanted to go and see,
31:30
you know, Rocky Jordan's Cairo, and yeah, that city such as
31:37
it was, you know, doesn't currently exist in that form though. There
31:42
have been a lot of changes in Egypt, and if someone has a more
31:47
even more recent perspective, will always love to hear from you on that.

Linda, who donated earlier so he sent along an email, says, since
31:55
I was a little girl, I've watched black and white movies with my father,
31:59
Colombo and and See with my mother, and read Agatha Christian Sherlock Holmes
32:01
on my own. My taste, which I am sharing with my daughters,
32:06
have not changed much since then. My older daughter likes to hunch over pretend
32:10
to grab a door handle, turn around and say in another thing in a
32:14
gravelly voice to imitate Peter Falk's method of disarming the baddie, just to nail
32:17
and with an assut questions. Your great detectors of old time radio podcast have
32:22
been a delightful addition to my list of enjoyable pastimes, and now my husbands
32:28
and daughters are accustomed to seeing me get absorbed in the mysteries and often shockling
32:31
at your comments, which our heartfelt and on the money without ever being mean
32:36
spirited. The fact that you have a wide variety of programs means there is
32:39
something for everyone, and I sometimes will fought fast from listening for a week
32:45
or two so I can binge listen when I have a few hours to myself.
32:50
So thank you for your dedication and in science, and for making me
32:53
feel as if I'm chit chatting with a like minded friend, not to mention
32:58
a chew gentleman every time I listened. Well, thanks so much, Linda.
33:01
I appreciate your comment, and you know I when I was young,
33:06
I watched a lot more television and mysteries. I tend to watch a lot
33:10
less and when I was growing up, I liked what I saw of Quincy,
33:15
but and I look forward to someday sitting down and just going through that
33:21
whole series. But the way it is now is I tend to choose just,
33:24
you know, one or two one or two mystery shows I am going
33:30
through, and limit myself to that. But I've definitely appreciated what I've seen
33:34
of Quincy, and I look forward to the time when we get through with
33:37
some other projects and processes when I can go ahead and sit down and see
33:43
some more. Appreciate your comment and appreciate your listening, and Gina just says,
33:47
thank you for this wonderful program. All right, Well, that will
33:52
do it for today. Manhunt will not be back next week because we only
33:58
have four parts of next week Johnny dollars, so Manhunt will return in two
34:02
weeks. Johnny Dollar will be back on Monday, and then on Friday of
34:07
next week we'll wrap up next week's story and on Wednesday we will actually be
34:10
playing a program called Here Comes McBride, starring Frank Lovejoy. In the meantime,
