1:26
All right, well it's time for us to continue on with The Sea Legs
1:30
Matter Parts three and four from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar.
1:38
You hear me Johnny Dollar calling. This is Universal Ajument nine. Pancy Johnny
1:45
Dollar Johnny, what kind of a noisy hook up business? Anyway? Man,
1:48
this call is being relayed to you from an amateur radio station. Well,
1:52
next time, try the telephone from Porto Gardo, Nigga Roguay. Oh,
1:56
now you're coming up quite clearly. Port On. It's a little spot
2:00
on the Caribbean coast, the lands port of call for the sea legs before
2:02
she was wrecked. Missus Douglas land Via still with you? No, And
2:06
I don't know where she's gone, which is why I called. She acted
2:09
just as surprised as I was that we both took the same plane down here,
2:14
and Pat, I still don't know why she decided to come here at
2:16
all. Maybe she doesn't like the idea of your going down there to investigate
2:20
the case. She wouldn't admit it, of course, but that's what I
2:22
think. Do you think she may try to obstruct your investigation right now?
2:25
I don't know, because she suddenly charted a small plane and disappeared the work
2:30
her way back here to the States. Your guess is as good as mine.
2:32
Look, why don't you hire a watch on her place on Long Island?
2:37
And if she shows, they're call me at the hotel Providencia. It's
2:39
in the city of Bluefield right at any event, you think her claims were
2:44
insurance on the Sea Legs and on Douglas land Via brought you pants. At
2:47
this point, I don't know what to think tonight and every weekday night.
2:59
Bob Bailey, in the Transcribed Adventures of the Man with the Action Pact expensiccount
3:04
America's fabulous freelance insurance investigators, Truly Johnny Dollar. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar,
3:22
location San Juan del Pero, Nicaragua, the Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hertford,
3:25
Connecticut. Following is an account of expenditures and report of activities during my
3:30
investigation of the Sea Legs matter. Pan, I lied to you during that
3:37
radio contact a few minutes ago. I do think Connie Landfair's claims for four
3:42
hundred thousand dollars insurance are fraudulent. Fraudulent is the very devil. But that's
3:46
why I think so is beyond me at any rate. The assistant who's foisted
3:52
himself on me down here as a real weirdy, whose name, believe it
3:54
or not, is Oscar Patrick Vladimir Pascuaro. He rented a plane and has
4:00
flown me here to Port of Guardo, a half big little town on Nicaragua's
4:02
east coast. Here is where a radio amateur I made the last contact with
4:06
the sea legs before it smashed up and sank off the Baldero Islands. And
4:11
who is the operator of this ham station? Oscar, Patrick, Vladimir and
4:15
Pascuaro. Such a long talker, mister Dollar. I'm cranking this generator in
4:20
who my arm is nearly dropping coff And I'm sorry I ask her for that.
4:24
Contact with the States was important. Even my back is tired. Ha.
4:29
I know. I'll make an expense account to you, is say ten
4:31
dollars. You try that, and I'll fly back to Bluefields without you,
4:34
please, mister Dollar, no joking, please, Without me, you would
4:39
be a lost soul in this viol contet. Hey tell me something, Why
4:43
did you ever set up a transmitter in this isolated fishing village? I should
4:46
set it up in Bluefields. They even wanted me to have some kind of
4:49
license up there. Disgusting and a waste of money too. That reminds me,
4:55
do you have a pilot's license? Who needs a pilot's license when those
4:58
little planes practically fly themselves. Besides the palace license costs money too. Well,
5:02
I have one, So from here on in I stay at the controls.
5:05
No confidence, no confidence in two of us. Okay, okay,
5:11
Now let's get out to that flat where you parked the plane. I want
5:13
to fly over the spot where the sea legs went down. You see how
5:16
on valuable I am? Huh about me? You wouldn't even know where to
5:19
look for the Baldaro Island, you know, darn well? All I have
5:23
to do is look at the charts and the conpit of the plane. Oh,
5:26
mister dollar, that wouldn't be fair. The Ballderos turned out to be
5:34
only six or eight miles off shore, two narrow, little rocky islands that
5:40
poked up out of the sea to keep each other company in the vast quiet
5:43
blue expense. One of them was perhaps a mile long, and the other
5:46
just a couple of one hundred yards away, and stretching parallel to it was
5:49
even smaller. Sure to a man at the wheel who was unfamiliar with these
5:54
waters, and without charts, the ball Daros could conceivably be a menace of
5:58
navigation in the of the night, that is asking, ky, sir,
6:04
do you remember what time of day it was when the sea legs went down.
6:06
Of course I remember anything, name stage places, how about the sea
6:12
legs? Of course I was talking to her about radio. Wow, such
6:15
a lovely day too, just like today. Why do you know, mister
6:17
Lanter even promised to take me fishing after we finish the radio contact that thing.
6:21
What time he even promised you would? Oh, it was exactly ten
6:27
twenty one am when the radio is ticking from the up suddenly cut off.
6:30
You're sure that, yes, sir, we were talking away back and forth
6:34
and they tip nothing. Ten twenty one one question a couple of real good
6:44
answers. A daylight today, met it was clear and calm and ten twenty
6:47
one am and full daylight. The bolderos must have stuck out like a sore
6:53
thumb. Hang on asking, I'm gonna make a tight circle over those islands
6:59
for a close look. You sure you wouldn't like for me to steer,
7:01
mister dollar, I'm sure. But if you do all the work, how
7:04
am I ever going to earn the handsome restrainer you're going to pay me?
7:08
Why I'm gonna hey, sir, that channel between the islands is as smooth
7:12
as a mill pond. Sure it is except during a storm, and so
7:15
clear you can see way down into it. Oscar, I thought there were
7:18
a lot of pinnacles of rocks sticking up in that channel. Oh maybe at
7:23
low tide one or two. On the east side there is shallow other I'd
7:26
like to see it now. And what's supposed to make the channel so dangerous?
7:30
He couldn't that runs through it when the tide is changing, mister Dollary,
7:32
how you say ideally, like now when the tide is coming in enough
7:38
to wreck a boat like the sea legs. If this kipper wasn't botching the
7:41
road, you should see how the current bobbles and squirms. Hey, look
7:45
there's a parking case down there floating around you. You see first one direction
7:48
then the other, shifting around like a crazy Yeah, osk Her, and
7:51
I think that packing case is going to be a big help to us.
7:55
Maybe there's something in it that might be worth money or something. Stop thinking
7:59
of money, then, how we're gonna see just where the current delivers that
8:03
packing case. You want to know where that packing case will be ending up,
8:05
That's what I said. Then steer back to Portagardo, to the beach
8:09
in front of my perlative radio station. Huh sure, how do you think
8:13
I got all the lumber and furniture and stuff from my radio shop? He
8:22
was right. From the air, we could see that every bit of flats
8:26
and passing through the Baldero Island channel on a rising tide wound up in the
8:30
tiny cove on the channel sandbar, directly in front of Oscar's radio shack.
8:33
Even now, I was piled high with traits, bits of ships, rigging,
8:37
odd pieces of furniture that chunk stay down there forever, asking no,
8:43
no, mister Dolavonta, Mantha real big high tide clumbs along and pressed him.
8:48
I have a clean front yard again, but I always make it thick
8:52
up here before then, what do you mean? Sure? That's why was
8:56
in number one beach brush stop in Corny. What do you mean beach comber?
9:00
Oh? I have to brush the sound off everything I'd picked up down
9:01
there, so you didn't laugh. What do I care? Anyhow? You
9:05
should see some of the valuable things I picked up to sell to the natives.
9:07
Oh, tell me two years ago when the Landfair's other boat went down.
9:11
Ah, you should have seen it. Everything that could float in the
9:15
dried up in my front yard. It was beautiful. How I want the
9:18
sea legs was wrecked. You know, that's very funny, mister Dollard.
9:20
There was nothing at all. I don't understand it. Well, I think
9:26
I do. I think I'm beginning to understand a lot of things about this
9:28
case. Hang on, ask her. We're flying back to Bluefield expense conidem
9:37
twelve thirty cents American taxi from the private airport where we'd rented the plane to
9:41
the headquarters of the Federal Maritime I never will get that straight. Call it
9:45
a coast guard and Captain Ramirez, she said, you're on July. The
9:52
here it is. Did they and at ten twenty one, Captain she died
9:56
at ten twenty one, was just after what you call neep. So that's
10:01
neat, that's pretty What does that mean? Oh shut up, Oscar,
10:05
Yeah, I see, Captain neep time at nine forty so it's coming in
10:07
rising and you see it's send you a dollar rising. Oh go ahead,
10:11
thanks, captain. Here, buy yourself a cigar, buy yourself a whole
10:15
box grassy grass. Come on asking him do nothing for me later. Come
10:22
on, we're going back to the airfield and from there we're gonna fly down
10:26
the coast again. But mister, I feel so good, I may even
10:28
let you fly that plane this time for a small pan for a small pittans
10:33
even now, drag out your best dialect and call that taxi over here.
10:41
I had am thirteen six bucks for the kepi time, I had him fourteen
10:45
fifty cents taxi back to the airfield. For some reason, the fair and
10:48
the old model T went up every time I used it. Or did Oscar
10:52
wink some kind of a deal with a driver that he could cut in on
10:54
later. I had him fifteen and another forty five bucks for rental of the
10:58
plane, and I'm sure it all went into Oscar's pocket. That is,
11:01
knowledge of the language enable him to persuade the owner. We shouldn't pay two
11:05
rentals in one day. We headed south and made good time. But where
11:11
are you going? Another a few minutes dont You'll be down to Conta Rica.
11:15
What's that little seaport straight ahead? San Juan del Peril, And according
11:18
to this map it has a more than adequate landing field. Look you see
11:22
what I see down there on it? Yeah, exactly what I hope to
11:26
see the twin of this plane, the plane in which missus Landfair disappeared this
11:30
morning, I'll land right beside it, nor sooner sat. My name is
11:33
Oscar public Plan. Don't these little fields have any personnel? If they get
11:39
two planes the month, they think it's the crowd, But there must be
11:43
somebody. There's the car back of the Hunger Gourd. Then we'll have transportation
11:46
into town. You still haven't totally why you decided to come here? Was
11:50
it because missus Lambtern did? That was something I didn't know until I saw
11:54
that plane down there. All right, easy now on land too close to
11:58
it. I am in perfect control. Here we go. No ask her.
12:01
It was a hunch based on the fact I remember that the sea Legs
12:05
was building this town. Hey, nice landing. Thank you, mister dollar.
12:11
Maybe a little you don't stop talking about money. You're gonna have to
12:15
find yourself. Say, I'm like crazy it is. Isn't there someone in
12:20
the cabin on that other plane gave the car it's coming up to meet us.
12:22
Hey watch it? Ask her? That darn fool is heading right across
12:24
the landing. Come the engine? Is he crazy? Counts? You see
12:28
us a swing high, but don't flip us. Come on more rock.
12:31
You told me there, that's straighten out. Take all. I can't do
12:33
what I do those controls and hang on here. He can't feel you know,
12:37
here, hang on. For a long moment, there was nothing but
12:48
a vague blackness all about me in the sound of our crack up seem to
12:52
roll and I go almost streamly back and forth the deep recesses of my mind,
12:56
and slowly I seemed to hear some of the sound. Yeah, like
13:05
an engine far off, an engine of a plane starting up and lazily moving
13:09
away. Sure, yeah, of course I did hear it. It was
13:13
the other plane, the one that had been parked on the landing strip.
13:18
And as my mind began to clear, I realized that seen something someone else
13:24
I'd called a glimpse before the car struck our landing gear of the man behind
13:26
the wheel of it, a man whose picture I had seen briefly at the
13:31
home of constant Landfair. But it couldn't be. Oh, mister dollarm I
13:43
steal alive. Yeah, I'm afraid you are, thank you. But did
13:50
you Oh did you see who was driving that car? You recognize him?
14:00
Look, maybe they're both dead like he is. And that's why we saw
14:03
him. Douglas Lambfair, Yes, sir, mister Douglas Lambfare, Johnny Dollar
14:26
again like Johnny. Yes, Pat McCrackan universal adjustment in hortphone. Oh hi,
14:33
Pat, listeners you requested. I had a man sent out to missus
14:37
Lampair's Long Island home to see if she'd return. I suspicion, wrong,
14:41
Pad, She's still here very much so when you listen, Shoot, the
14:43
man was a little over ambitious, let himself into the house or a basement
14:48
windows. So while he was the other telephone, right, he wasn't crazy
14:50
enough to answer it crazy like a fox. It was long distance from right
14:54
where you are now, sandjand del Peril and Johnny. I suspect it was
14:58
from the man on whose policy issues made a claim prop quarter million dollars her
15:01
dear departed husband, Douglas Landfair, right, and if so, her claim
15:05
on him at least his fraudulent. So see if you can dig up some
15:09
proof, brother, I have it. The man is anything but dead.
15:11
It was Douglas Landfair who wrecked our plane when we tried to land here a
15:15
few hours ago. And Johnny get him sure if he doesn't get me first
15:30
from Special Investigator Johnny Dolly, location San Juan del Peril, Nicaragua to the
15:33
Universal Adjustment Bureau Hertford, Connecticut. Following is an accounting of expenses incurred during
15:39
my investigation of the Sea Legs matter. Two hundred and fifty thousand insurance claimed
15:46
by Missus constant Landfair for the death of Douglas Landfair, an addition one hundred
15:52
and fifty thousand for the loss of the yap at Sea Legs. Claim number
15:56
one now proved to be fraudulent, as for number two, the claim on
15:58
the yacht Expenser conad in fourteen two dollars American to the Banana plantation worker who
16:07
pulled us out of the small plane that Douglas Landfair wrecked as we tried to
16:11
land, and another dollar that said plantation worker for a ride in the town
16:15
in this ancient truck. I must admit that this is one time that my
16:18
ubiquitous assistant, Oscar Patrick Vladimir Pasquero came in handy through his knowledge of the
16:22
Spanish Indian dialects spoken in these parts. Apparently, San Juan del Pero had
16:30
once been a fairly busy little seaport, but over a period of years,
16:33
the sea had slowly and exorpentally washed in shallow sandbars, and only a handful
16:37
of small cargo on fishing boats now negotiated the narrow channels that led out to
16:41
the Blue Caribbean. The town itself was scattered around a small marketplace near the
16:45
docks. There were a few stone and brick buildings, including the San Andrea
16:49
Hotel, but most of them were weather beaten frame structures. An occasional Asian
16:55
American car kicked up the dust, but most of the street traffic was ox
16:59
carts. I had am fifteen two dollars American to a doctor with an unpronounceable
17:03
name. Came to our room at the San Andre and patched us up,
17:06
and about seven pm he left, after instructing us to spend the rest of
17:08
the night in bed. Adam sixteen another two dollars for a sumptious dinner brought
17:12
to our room American dollars, I learned, go far in this place,
17:17
unless, of course, Oscar gets his hands on them. You could let
17:19
me handle all the bill through while you're here in Nicaragua, mister dollar,
17:22
Yeah, sure, and lets you take a fifty percent commission on all of
17:26
them. But mister dollar, when the poor fellow who rented us that plane
17:30
to get done here starts patching it up, my expense account is going to
17:33
take a big enough beating. I have no fear. I will supervise the
17:36
repair from the plane myself. Yeah, for a small pittance, of course.
17:41
Ah, what a wonderful din there now to sleep it off? You
17:47
sleep all you want, Oh, I got work to do work. Yeah.
17:51
Besides, you still haven't told me why we flew down here in the
17:52
first place. I still don't listen. Oscar. A couple of years ago,
17:56
land Fair lost a power cruiser off the Baldero Island. No I told
18:00
you. I helped him and his wife and his captain get the shore.
18:03
He collected eighty five thousand dollars for that boat from his insurance company. I
18:06
saw the boat. It was worth the eighty five thousand, so he should
18:08
have insured it for more, maybe one hundred thousand. Made himself a profit
18:11
in a very poor business matter. Will you listen? The ease of collecting
18:15
on that loss must have given him ideas. What's more, he could do
18:18
with some money. The bridal of state was running law anyhow. A few
18:22
weeks ago. He brings a yacht, a motor sailor down here, right,
18:26
This one's insured for one hundred and fifty thousand, and his own life
18:29
is insured for a quarter million. Maybe he's not such about businessman after all.
18:33
He takes the sea legs out to the very same place where he lost
18:36
the first boat. This time he leaves his wife ashore and the skipergoat alone,
18:41
presumably to check on some new radio equipment he's installed. Sure, we
18:44
made the radio contact from my own personal center on shore. I put the
18:47
guard, but the contact was suddenly cut off. I had and the next
18:51
thing we know, missus ellis back at her home on Long Island, claiming
18:53
a total of four hundred thousand. Well, why not if she thought he
18:56
went down with the board, because I don't think she did. What's more
19:00
proof, of course, I knew it all the time, because if he
19:03
drowned off the Bunada Islands, what was he doing here today driving the car
19:07
that wrecked our plane unless he was dead. And do you know something,
19:11
mister Dolla, I don't believe it, Oscar. There was somebody in the
19:14
cabin of that other plane waiting to take off with him after he smashed our
19:18
landing gear. You didn't see who, No, but I'll give you odds
19:21
it was Constant Landfair. Another thing, she said that when the sea legs
19:25
went down, she heard it go over the radio. You said that the
19:27
signal just suddenly cut off. You don't think they of us wrecked at all,
19:33
not anymore than I think Landfair went down with it. Then there is
19:36
it? Well, I have a hunch it's right here in San Juan del
19:38
Peril. Yes, but wouldn't everybody know the boat? Oh Oscar. One
19:42
of the oldest insurance rackets in the world is to fake a shipwreck, take
19:45
the hull of some obscure foreign port, dress it up a new paint and
19:48
rigging, then put it to sea again. Why didn't I think of such
19:51
a god? If I remember rightly, I spotted a couple of old shipyards
19:53
down here when we circle the land. Yeah. Sure, but there's only
19:56
one that does any work. You know it is I Do you see how
20:00
invaluable I am to you? And that's where we're going right now. But
20:03
mister dollar, but if you do find the boat, what do you mean
20:07
mister Landfair has already flew the goose. He took off in the other plane
20:11
after we cracked up. Look, well, take things as they come along.
20:15
Right now, while we're here, I want to look for that yacht.
20:18
I saw an excellent picture of it, and I'm sure if I find
20:19
it, I can identify it. And if we do find it, we
20:22
will have twice the case against the landfairs. Mister, mister Dollar, I
20:29
am fortunate to be working for such a spelling silver fourteens for the most outstanding
20:36
intelligent eas Get your hands out of my pockets. There's one other thing I'd
20:40
like to find. One person, unless Landfair murdered him. Who is one
20:44
man crew? Oh Gonzalez, the same man as on the first three.
20:48
Well, if he was allowed to live through the first wreck, he was
20:51
probably in cahoots with Landfair and therefore is still around. Would you recognize him
20:56
if you saw him? Maybe so, maybe not the first three if he
21:00
was big and fat, the second tree was skinnier. He wore a beard
21:03
on his face. If he's changed again, Yeah, you're a lot of
21:07
help. I thought you never forgot a name or a face, But mister
21:11
Dollar him, I never made any money off of Well, come on,
21:15
get into your clothes and let's prowl around the shipyard. It was only a
21:22
few minutes after eight, but the town was practically asleep, except for an
21:26
old saloon down near the docks. Quietly, so not to disturb the snoozing
21:32
night clerk, we let ourselves out of the hotel and headed for the waterfronts.
21:36
The night was clear and moonlit, so we had no trouble finding the
21:38
way. I glanced hopefully into the open door of the dark side saloon as
21:45
we passed it, and I chuck over at the incongruity and the music bluring
21:48
away, But of course saw no one that Wait a minute, asking sir
21:53
at that table in there drinking beer, Hey, can one of them be
21:57
the Raymon Gonzales you mentioned? Can tell from here and send one little There
22:02
must be a hundred who are skinny and very dirty, little beard on the
22:06
face, did you tell from close up? Sure? What do you recognize?
22:10
You? So? What might not be very healthy for you? Ah,
22:14
mister Dollar, working on an important campaign for you, my dearest friend,
22:18
I would gladly lay down my life for you for a small pedtence,
22:22
of course, of course, anyhow, how would you know I am working
22:26
for you? Okay? Okay? Then sonor and then take a look.
22:29
Okay, how I reckon? Good evening gentlemen? Nice say wether we're having
22:47
hanah es Wendia No eh? Well, well well if it isn't my old
22:57
parler among Gonzales, how are you, Yester Harrow, me a stranger.
23:06
I'm one of your oldest and dearest friends, and me an ego, Remember
23:12
yeld I am Oscar Patrick, bloody people, Scuerrow, you know, just
23:18
a fine old Spanish name who helped you assure that time when you no no,
23:22
no, no, no no, we'll put on that bottle the motto
23:36
mister Dollar. Mister I don't think they like you to interrupt that little beer
23:40
party. He threatened me that I might. He said he would kill me,
23:42
is he reminded Zalie, Yes, yes, I'm sure he seems to
23:48
Dollar. He did not go down with the ship. You're telling me,
23:51
well, aren't you going to do something about him later? If I locate
23:53
the sea legs cautiously quiet, looking back over my shoulder. Now we prowled
24:02
through the old shipyard and finally, led by the smell of fresh paint,
24:06
I found it. The once clean white hull was painted a gaudy red and
24:10
blue and given the appearance of age. The mahogany rail and taffrel had been
24:15
replaced with iron pipe, the beautiful teakwood deck painted a dirty gray. The
24:19
wheelhouse have been moved, the cabin old had even the mass spousepritt and general
24:23
rigging changed. Stanchions, cleats, all the hardware that once been polyshed bronze
24:29
was now corroded or painted over. All in all a quick, very thorough
24:33
job of disguise. It's a change from a graceful, expensive yacht to a
24:37
rather weary looking fishing schooner. But it was the sea legs, all right.
24:42
I would never believe it, mister dollar. I never would have recognized
24:48
it. Are you sure? Wind your hand over the transfermetor you can feel
24:52
where the lettering has been painted over? Or not? Somebody? That's two
24:57
right? Now? Do you see where the outline of the lettering is underneath
25:02
this last coat of painted seeles? But it was such a beautiful boat.
25:10
No, it looks like like a dirty old tramp. Well what do we
25:18
do now? Go back to that saloon and latch onder Raman Gonzales, make
25:22
him talk, sure, only I'll wait for you. He's so big and
25:30
strong mister. That knife in his belt, Why I thought you said you'd
25:33
lay down your life. Sure, sure, but what could he tell you
25:38
that you don't already know now where the land first headed when they took off
25:42
on that plane. Come on, but I okay you, I was afraid
25:56
of that. Look the knife in his hand. Ask her if he makes
25:59
one more to throw it, pull the trigger? No, no, no,
26:03
no, I sweat, but I have a couple of fish. Well,
26:12
let's bring him in, bring him to so I can question. No,
26:15
no, no, no, let let's get out of here, please,
26:18
mister Ny, he may have a friend that aunt right oscarr he has
26:25
and this one carries a gun aimed straight at mister Dallas back. Oh well,
26:30
missus Lambfeir surprised, Johnny. Now here's our star to tell you about
26:56
the final episode of this week's story tomorrow. Sometimes when you wint if a
27:00
case, things take a turn, a sudden switch that makes you wish you
27:03
hadn't won. Join us, won't you yours truly? Johnny Dollar? Yours
27:22
truly, Johnny Dollar. Starrying Bob Bailey is transcribed in Hollywood. It is
27:27
produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who also wrote this week's story. Be
27:33
sure to join us tomorrow night, same time in station for the next exciting
27:37
episode of Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, Roy Rowan speaking welcome back, Well,
28:45
folks, tell about nine or ten years ago that was about all of the
28:48
Sea Legs Matter that there was listeners to the original series or the conclusion to
28:56
the Sea Legs Matter, and who knows, it may have been replaced a
29:00
little later on Armed Forces Radio Services, but it was nearly fifty years until
29:06
anyone actually heard the concluding episode again. It was the very last of the
29:11
five part serial to be completed, and we'll let you in on it on
29:17
Friday. Overall, this has been a pretty good episode. The one thing
29:22
I didn't like was the ending talking about a downside to victory, because at
29:26
this point I'd rather be in suspense about what will happen to Johnny, even
29:32
though logically I know he's gonna win, but what will happen sort of clothes
29:37
would seem to make better sense. But be that as it may. That'll
29:42
actually do it for today. Join us on Friday for the conclusion of the
29:48
Sea Legs Matter, and we will also of course be starting Manhunt tomorrow.
29:55
An an episode of Nick Carter's coming up. In the meantime, you can

30:03
