The Man Who Was Already Dead

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — John Lund Era (1952–1954) · Jul 31, 2026 · 27m

Aired: Dec 26th, 1952. A Delaware insurance company paid out a hefty double-indemnity claim on Walter Patterson back in '47, no body, no complications, case closed. Then a sharp-eyed old friend spots him very much alive in a Tucson bar, going by another name and denying he's ever heard of Walter Patterson. Johnny Dollar heads west with the expense account running to find out if this is a stranger's uncanny resemblance or a dead man walking on a very live insurance fraud.
