1:17
Dowler the Suntan Oil Matter from Hollywood. It's time now for Johnny Dollar,
1:26
Dave Lawler, Johnny Over Shorty Mutual and Trust Company. Oh hi Dave,
1:30
long time. Yeah, I know. Listen. Do you own a pair
1:33
of dark sunglasses and some real loudsports shirts? Mine are so loud I have
1:37
to keep in a soundproof drawer. Great, but where you'll be at this
1:41
time tomorrow? Nobody will give me a second look? Oh like where?
1:44
Well? According to the travel folders. It's quote the land where the summer
1:48
spends the winter unquote. In other words, Tom Springs, California. Dave,
1:52
You're on good, but don't forget this can be pretty expensive for your
1:55
company. Oh more than you know, Johnny seventy five thousand hard cash unless
2:00
you're able to prove the bracelet Dan Galloway gave to his child bride wasn't really
2:05
stolen. For a church to Palm Springs at this time of year, I
2:07
think I could probe anything. Bob Bailey in The Exciting Adventures of the Man
2:20
with the Action Packed Expense ACUT America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigators Trulee Johnny Dollar expense
2:40
account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Home Office Surety Mutual and Trust
2:46
Company, Franklin Building, Hartford, Connecticut, following as an account of expenses
2:50
incurred during my investigation of the sun Tan oil matter. Expense account on one
3:00
hundred and ninety seven dollars and forty cents Airline Fair and Accidental's Hartford to Palm
3:04
Springs, California, I registered at La Casa de Paz on South Palm Canyon
3:08
Drive changed into casual clothes and saundered over the police headquarters. Detective Sergeant Lacey
3:14
was about to leave for lunch, so I went along with him. Yeah,
3:17
Dollar, you'd be surprised at how much stuff is lost in this town
3:21
during the course of just one season. The report we got says it was
3:23
stolen, Sergeant. Oh, sure, sure, but I doubt it.
3:29
Seventy five thousand dollars bracelet just five days old. Got to be a little
3:32
careless of the lady, wouldn't it. Well, if you were married to
3:36
one of the biggest wild catters in the oil business, maybe you could afford
3:38
to be careless. What about Dan Galloway, didn't you say he was drilling
3:43
somewhere around here, about eighty miles south in the middle of the desert,
3:46
down by Sultan Sea. So Sea. Oh, that's really a big inland
3:51
lake that lies way down below sea level, isn't it. I want to
3:53
bring me a check, Dotty, at two hundred and forty five feet below
3:55
sea level. Dollar, there's oil there. Then Galloway figures it this way.
4:00
One of the most successful new fields that's been worked in years is deep
4:02
under the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Louisiana. There as a lot
4:05
of salt domes down there, and underneath them are big pools of oil,
4:09
millions of barrels. So why not under the salt and sea which is all
4:13
salt deposits owen Os? Maybe has something? Anybody else turling down there?
4:17
Just Galloway? Who else needs it? I mean any more than he does?
4:21
Well? Does he all yours? Doddy? How would I know Galloway
4:26
needs it? But there has been talk around, you know, But if
4:29
he's hired up, how could he afford that fancy bracelet last week? Yeah?
4:32
Or the snazzy Italian sports car the week before that? I don't know
4:36
either dollar. What about his wife? Oh that Roberta? What a doll
4:43
and in three D? And if you know what I mean, how an
4:46
old coot like him could ever latch onto a pretty little chick like her?
4:49
Rough, I'd take it. Roberta is somewhat younger than her husband, Oh,
4:54
not more than thirty five forty? I see how long have they been
4:58
married? Two maybe three years? Down in Dallas? I think it was.
5:01
She's a Texas girl. Well is it working out? I mean are
5:04
they happy? There's talk about that too? What kind of talk. Oh,
5:09
it's really just small town gossip. For the most part, ever,
5:13
hear of sunny Wyman Wyman. No well Sonny is around Roberta's age, one
5:17
of those kids who came up from nothing, but all the time knew exactly
5:20
where he was going, you know, made a point of meeting the right
5:24
people, shaking the right hand. Real nice kid too. What's he do
5:27
that when the season's over here? He works Pasadena Beverly Hills in LA.
5:30
Always has something that will intrigue his wealthy friends. This season it's Italian sports
5:35
cars Cosmo Romas I think they are. And he's the one who sews the
5:39
Galloway's theirs. He sold Roberta hers any angle Aaron connection with the bracelet there
5:46
is you let me know. Well if there isn't, what have you been
5:49
working up to? Well, actually nothing, you see, I still believe
5:54
it was lost. Expenser con Adam two thirty five dollars for rental of a
6:04
drive your own car. I found the Galloway place about two miles out north
6:09
and east of town. As I parked in the broad ue shaped driveway,
6:13
I noticed a low, shiny sun tan color sports car standing in the shade
6:15
of a date palm back by the garage. I started over to take a
6:19
look at it, but the front door of the house open. A Filipino
6:21
boy appeared, took my name, and showed me into the living room.
6:25
Through the solid wall of picture windows, I could see that the whole place
6:28
was built around the kidney shaped swimming pool. Whitey inviting, and so was
6:32
Roberta Missus Galloway when she stepped into the room a minute of the two later.
6:36
Hi there, mister dolls nic it's nice, happy to come all the
6:40
way out here. Yeah, Sargean and Lacey was right. Roberta was a
6:44
liven doll twenty two or three, trim, petite and with a figure that
6:49
well, let's not go into that. She said it would be more comfortable
6:53
out on the l nine beside the pool. I just wish there was something
6:58
I could tell you about that bracelet that had helped you mind it, mister
7:00
Dollar. But well, just must have been stolen. Well, it makes
7:04
no difference in as far as your claim is concerned, Missus Galloway. The
7:08
company will still have to pay up, you know, and less of course
7:12
it's fine, Oh I know that. How do you go about your investigation.
7:17
I mean, do you offer a reward or something? Usually yes,
7:21
of course, it depends on how much have they offered for my brak Well,
7:26
frankly I haven't checked on that yet. But now, mister Galloway,
7:29
did you get Johnny well flame this size? Probably somewhere between ten and thirty
7:35
percent. It was the matter Johnny your ears out of mile nothing, I
7:44
just thought I had that's funny. I didn't hear a thing, but I
7:48
had quick footsteps somewhere in the house. Then the door open and close.
7:54
Then a few seconds later, the unmistakable growl of a high powered engine thundering
7:58
out through twin straight pipes. Oh. That probably some hot rod fan in
8:03
the neighborhood just rolled by. She praddled on for another hour or so,
8:07
and again asked about possibilities of a reward for a bracelet, But so far
8:11
as helpful information was concerned, she came up with nothing. So I excused
8:15
myself and drove back to town. I wanted to talk to the driver of
8:18
that sports car. I also wanted to check with will Hoyd van Hook,
8:22
the jeweler who had sold the bracelet. I found his shop on Palm Canyon
8:26
Drive, a small place, but very ultra ultra as I was about to
8:30
enter the door a minute Yeah, sure, two or three minutes, and
8:39
I like your car. Mister Wyman isn't in, that's right. How'd you
8:43
know? How'd you know mine? Yeah? Real cloak and dagger stuff.
8:46
Huh. You you knew I was out at Burgers House, didn't you?
8:50
Well, it seemed pretty obvious when I heard you hot footed for the door
8:52
and then heard this point size monster yours barrel off. Hey, you wouldn't
8:56
like to buy a Cosmo roma? Would you? The real lily? Like?
9:00
Nothing better? But I'm out here on the job. Yeah, I
9:01
know. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. Well, you
9:05
know anything that will help me? Not much, I'm afraid, but I'll
9:07
be glad to tell you anything I can. You going in to see Willy
9:11
Willy? Yeah, you know Will White van Hook the jeweler wise? Yeah,
9:15
why do you know him? Know him? I sold him one of
9:16
these, one exactly like mine, and we're both going to be in the
9:20
rally there. Hold next Sunday. Do you ever see a good sports car
9:22
race? No, I'm afraid not. Well, wells soon thinks that and
9:26
look after you've talked to Willie, if you want to go down to where
9:28
Dan Galloway's billing is knew. Well, I'll be glad to give you a
9:31
lift. Good idea, but I don't want to take you out of your
9:33
way. Oh not at all. I was going away anyhow. Besides,
9:35
uh, I thought it might give us a chance to talk a little sure
9:41
on why not? Well, a name like will White van Hook I expected,
9:50
Well, I don't know what I expected. As it turned out,
9:52
he was a swanty dressed chap of about forty tall and slim, blonde hair
9:56
and quick, blue eyes and alert mind. I told him why I was
10:01
in Palm Spring, showed him my credentials, and he immediately offered full cooperation.
10:05
No, here we are, mister dollar. Here's a copy of the
10:07
appraisal, a duplicate of the statement I sent Dan Galloway. And here,
10:13
yes, here's a sketch of the bracelet. Ah. I got diamonds,
10:18
here, emeralds, and the mounting is yellow gold and worked all of it.
10:22
M one thing I can't help wondering about, mister man Hook. Yes,
10:28
isn't a seventy five thousand dollars bracelet? I been unusual for a shop
10:31
in a resort town. As a matter of fact, it is. As
10:35
you can see. I specialize in rare and exclusive sort of things, but
10:39
very little over say ten or twelve thousand dollars, and the Galloway bracelet was
10:43
an exception. Yes, after Dan told me what he had in mind to
10:46
give to his wife, I had some sent over from Pasadena and Los Angeles
10:50
by wholesalers with whom I do business. You know, hadham shipped down in
10:54
consignment. He liked one, and that was that I see to dollar.
11:01
I wouldn't want this to go any farther, of course, But after all,
11:05
jewelers and insurance companies are well, our businesses are pretty well tied together,
11:09
at least on occasion. Yes, unfortunately, But what are you getting
11:15
at, I'll tell you. Two days after the bracelet was delivered, one
11:18
morning, just as I was opening up, Dan came in here. So
11:22
he was ill at ease, look worried. He said he had to have
11:26
some cash. Quickly, he asked if I could possibly refund his money.
11:30
Oh did you know? Because I couldn't. Things had been rather slow for
11:35
me this season. Quite frankly, I'd used all I'd made on the bracelet
11:39
to pay up some old bills. I told him as much, and that
11:41
I was sorry, but I just couldn't help him. Did Gallaway say why
11:45
he had to have that much cash right away? Yes? Well, I
11:48
don't know much about oil drilling, but as I understand that, his test
11:52
well is down some four hundred feet further than he'd planned on going, and
11:56
the day before he came in here, something on his rig had broken loose
12:00
and left him with a highly expensive repair job before he could proceed any further.
12:05
Apparently it was all very serious and very expensive. Hmm. Strange.
12:09
His wife didn't seem to be bothered. I just talked to her BERTA.
12:13
Believe me, mister Dollar, she wouldn't be. In fact, I doubt
12:18
if she even knows no. Figure it out for yourself. A man of
12:22
nearly sixty who has to give bracelets and fancy cars to his wife to keep
12:26
up her interest, Well, you'd hardly expect him to tell her that kind
12:30
of news, how would you, now? I suppose not, especially if
12:33
he's worried about the competition, And if you ask me, he has competition.
12:39
If only he could see it, that suntan and chrome Cosmoromo was all
12:56
sunny. Whyman claimed it was? It prayed like a kid, performed beautifully.
13:01
But I was more interested at the moment of what Sonny wanted to talk
13:03
about. Johnny, I'm gonna be perfectly fun with you. I'll go all
13:09
over with that out at the house a while ago. I felt pretty foolish
13:11
when you arrived and Berta insisted I hide until she could get you out on
13:15
the lenine. Did she have any particular reason? Well? Do you see?
13:18
We know that well? Lessen talk going around about Berta and me?
13:22
Any truth in it, Sonny? A little? I guess you saw.
13:28
I mean there's nothing serious between us. It's just that well, with Dan
13:31
away so much of the time, we uh, well, we have fun
13:33
together. Yeah? Sure, Oh what about the bracelet? Give me who
13:37
might have stolen it? It's a general idea. I don't know. I
13:41
have no idea. That sound funny to you? Should it? Well?
13:46
After all, Dan and Berta keeping their house open to everybody. People into
13:48
swim play, bad menton cocktails and barbecues. I guess half the population of
13:54
Palm Springs that had been there one time or another, And even if it
13:56
weren't an invited guest why, I'd be simple for someone to just sneak in
14:00
to walk up with it, providing, of course they knew where it was
14:03
kept. Well, yeah, someone who was close enough to Yeah, I
14:07
heard burd to ask you about a reward for it. You think a big
14:11
enough reward would turn it up, I would think so. I understand that
14:16
stolen jewelry brings about twenty cents on the dollar. Sometimes it brings twenty cents,
14:22
sometimes twenty years. Well, yeah, well, I just wonder.
14:28
How's the car business doing, sunny? Oh great, great, Yeah,
14:31
it's really one of the reasons I'm drying out this week. Oh prospect an
14:35
oil rich Indian or a well to do Prairie dog. Hardly. No,
14:39
I told you if we were having a sports car rally on Sunday, well,
14:43
being the promoter so to speak, I'm going down to check the course.
14:46
If you're still around, you ought to come. Oh maybe I will
14:48
having some good events to Willie Van Hook and I are running a match race.
14:52
He's quite a bug, you know, and ever since I sold him
14:56
the twin of this job, he's been working it over special carburetor, racing
14:58
cams, everything, And I wonder, I can't afford this kind of stuff.
15:01
Oh, man, you'd be amazed if the amounts the amount of money
15:05
to change his hands. Isn't that an oil rig over there, yeah,
15:09
Dan Galloways. The rig itself is about fifty feet out in the lake.
15:11
The shack or office or whatever you want to call it's over the other way,
15:15
you see, about a quarter of a mile beyond. Was Joshua Trees.
15:18
I'll drive you over. He did. There was an old car parked
15:24
near the shack, so we figured Dan Galloway must be inside. Sunny Wyman
15:28
dropped me in front of it, then took off in a cloud of dust
15:30
and exhaust gas. I picked my way between the cactus plants, opened the
15:33
door without knocking as far as a right in. Mister uh oh oh,
15:39
hello, No use asking it. Mister Galloway is here. I can see
15:43
he isn't. No, he isn't s all right if I wait, I'm
15:48
Johnny Dollar, I'm Missus Galloway, mister dollan. Hell, that is on
15:52
the first Missus Galloway, the farmer, the one who scrimped and saved while
15:56
Dan was booming around every oil field all over the country, trying to make
15:58
his score. I'm the forgotten Missus Galloway. Oh, well, I'm sorry.
16:04
Are you expecting him back soon? Who knows? I'm waiting here three
16:08
hours, but I'll wait three days if I have to. Promises, that's
16:11
all promises. What do you mean, Missus Galloway, after working to help
16:15
him the way I did for all those years, and then to be tossed
16:17
over for somebody else who never did a look of work in her life.
16:19
Oh? Sure, give me anything I want if I let him free?
16:22
So what have I got? Promises? Well, I'm sorry, but getting
16:26
all upset is going to help? Well, wouldn't you be upset if you
16:29
had more than eighteen thousand dollars in back alimony coming to you and with them
16:33
living like royalty? I see? Oh, he's not gonna keep on getting
16:36
away with it, that's why i'm here. Well, not that gun in
16:40
your handbag isn't the answer, I'm afraid. How'd you know I've seen that
16:45
kind of bulge in a handbag before? You really have ideas about using it
16:48
on him? Well? Why? I don't know. There are times when
16:56
I feel as though killing would be too good for him, and there are
17:00
other times when I don't know. Here. Better let me from I'm not
17:07
gonna sit here and try to make sense with somebody who's upset at Hugh Arrow
17:11
has a gun? Well, how would you feel? What would you do
17:14
if you were me? How should I know? But killing him isn't the
17:15
answer this, or sitting here shouting at me? Who are you anyway?
17:18
What are you doing here? I came out here to see your husband,
17:22
your ex husband? On business? What kind of business? A friend drove
17:25
me out here and figured Dan would drive me back. But since he isn't
17:27
around, there's no point of my staying here. Are you either, Well,
17:30
maybe you want to have a car, so you and I are driving
17:33
back upon spring. I'm not leaving here to I see Dan until I get
17:37
some money from him, or see him dead. Maybe he's at the well,
17:41
all right, maybe he is over there and I'll come on. Why
17:45
I took this on I didn't know. Well, I couldn't leave that slightly
17:48
frantic woman sitting there waiting with murder in her heart. For all I knew,
17:52
she'd murdered Dan already. Let her inspected gun lay there. They're roll
17:56
down toward the oil rig was just a pair of ruts and as it's sand.
18:00
Then just as we cut in between some yucca plants and a wind blown
18:03
Joshua tree, I slammed on the brakes there in the middle of the trailia
18:11
man's body and crushed and twisted, and Galloway had been carefully repeatedly run over
18:18
by a car. Expense account at him thirty one dollars nineteen cents for a
18:27
quick phone called a Sergeant Lacey in palm springs and smelling salts and a bromine
18:30
for Florida the ex missus Galloway. Then I dropped her off at the Galloway
18:34
house. She and Roberta ended up consoling each other, while I huddled with
18:38
Lacey in his office at headquarters. Some of the boys are still out there,
18:41
dollar checking tire prints, taking pictures and so on. No cloth as
18:45
to who ran Galloway down not yet looked at me, as though Galloway stepped
18:48
out of his own car to see whoever had pulled up in the other and
18:51
was run down for his trouble, the car that did it run around in
18:55
a circle over and over him. Any suspects. Sergeant You found his ex
18:59
wife Laura waiting for him in the field office. You said, that's right,
19:02
and she was pretty nervous on edge. You say so. Also,
19:04
she was carrying a gun. Oh wait a minute, Any reason why she
19:07
couldn't have run him down earlier, then gone back and just waited for somebody
19:11
like you to come along, with somebody with whom she could then discover the
19:14
body. You told me yourself, Dolla, that she was pretty insistent about
19:17
your going over there to look for Gann. Yeah, yeah, I know.
19:19
The sergeants you're off on the wrong foot. Why because of the tracks
19:23
left by the killer's car. They didn't match the tires on Flora's car.
19:27
You checked, I'd checked, and if I were you, I'd have your
19:30
boys find out whose car did make those tracks. I'm way ahead of it.
19:33
Well, if you know, then you wait a second, Yeah,
19:37
Levigne, charging, I got news for you about those tire tracks at the
19:42
scene of the killing right on cue, the same making size as the tires
19:48
on Sunny Wyman's Cosmo Roma. You sure what I told you the scene,
19:52
I thought it was a sports car by the smallest eyes of the circle the
19:56
tracks made. Yeah, And knowing the feeling between Wyman and Galloway, I
20:00
went right over to his place nice clean tracks all over and they match.
20:04
You're holding Wyman. I don't know where he is, Sergeant. He wasn't
20:08
at his place and there was no answer to the bone in his showroom.
20:11
We'll then get after him, put out a flash on him with that car.
20:14
He shouldn't be too hard to find. Let me know when he's picked
20:17
up. Yes, what do you think, sergeant? You know something?
20:18
Duller. I have a notion that when we find Sunny Wyman, we'll also
20:22
find out what happened to that bracelet. Yeah, it could be. One
20:30
thing was certain. Dan Galloway can no longer be suspect in the case.
20:33
But Roberta why not? Maybe she didn't know that Dan had run out of
20:38
money. Maybe that's why she was so interested in the amount of reward for
20:41
the bracelet. Now what about Sonny Wyman? Olla look bad, a smart
20:48
young opportunist out for the fast buck, and of course close to Galloway's wife.
20:52
Anything he could do to hurt Galloway would help him. And now these
20:56
tire tracks the one solid clue the Galloway's killing. An Agean Lacy and I
21:00
drove out to the Galloway house. No, Johnny, I haven't seen Sonny
21:03
since he left here this afternoon, that's when you were here. He didn't
21:07
call up. Why should he call up? Why shouldn't he call ROBERTA if
21:11
he'd heard that Dan was killed? Now you listen here, mister Donne.
21:15
If you're trying to trick me into saying something about Sonny having anything to do
21:18
with dan death, you're wasting your time. And what's Laura? Pardon?
21:26
Hello? Oh? Yes, just a minute, youth, sergeant lady?
21:32
Oh thanks hello, yes, yes, when yeah, I see ok,
21:41
Lebbyn. Thanks? Has he found Sonny Wyman? He sure has, And
21:45
if you want to see him, you'll have to go to the coroner's office.
21:48
What no, Yeah, that souped up car of his couple of miles
21:52
out of town run off a curve in over one hundred foot bank. Well,
21:56
then minutes Lacy and I were at the scene of the accident looking things
21:59
over with the help of flashlights. Yeah, he must have been really burning
22:03
up the road to spin and roll this far off the highway. But surely
22:07
he must have been familiar with that curved. Oh sure he knew these roads
22:10
around here as roll as anybody in the county. Tire's still in one piece
22:12
too, and these sports cars usually corner pretty well. Yeah, this one
22:17
didn't. Hey, Lacy, look here, Yeah, it's left rear fender.
22:22
Looks to me like this car was side swipe. Hey, you're right
22:26
rolling over. Never make a long crease like that. Huh. Then no,
22:30
wait, if another car side swipe team, they'd be paint on this
22:33
fender, paint from the other car. Sergeants, you're absolutely right. And
22:37
since there's none here, sergeants, you're absolutely wrong. How far to the
22:42
nearest filling station? What? I want to make a couple of calls to
22:45
some wholesale jewelers in Pasadena and Los Angeles right now, in the middle of
22:48
the night, right now, wholesale jewelers expense account at him four eleven dollars
22:53
and ninety cents. Phone calls to Pasadena in LA. The third call yielded
22:59
mister Alfred make and to making Imports Incorporated. It was pretty cheerful about having
23:02
been gotten out of pet. It's quite all right, mister dollar that I'm
23:07
up. I'm right awake, almost well. I hate to throw something like
23:10
this as you in the middle of the night, mister Makhan, but tell
23:11
me, please, did you ship a diamond and Emberald bracelet to will Hoyt
23:15
van Hook in Palm Springs within the past few weeks. Why yes, mister
23:21
Dollery. Oh, as a matter of fact, they sent him three.
23:25
It was two weeks ago, and he returned them all returned them when two
23:30
of them the day after he got them, but the third when he kept
23:33
for a while. I got it back just last Thursday. I don't know
23:37
if that means anything to you. You bet it does, thanks very much.
23:45
Lacy and I piled in a one squad car for Patroman and another.
23:48
It was several miles out to the little ranch where Van Hook lived, and
23:52
Lacy and I chewed it over as we drove along. It don't pulled out
23:53
on me, Johnny, What if it made you think of Willy van Hook
23:56
is the one who drove Sunny Wyman off the road. Well, apparently there
23:59
was no paint on that fender from the car that sideswiped him. Actually the
24:03
ones holy of course van Hook's car is exactly the same color as Sonny.
24:08
Another thing, the car that ran down Galloway like the one Sonny drove,
24:11
even down to the tires, but not necessarily the same car. What's the
24:15
fact that couldn't help wondering about Van Hook all along. But why and a
24:19
job like mine, you have to wonder about everybody connected with the case,
24:22
anything particular about Van Hook. Well, he told me that he'd use the
24:26
money he got from Galloway to pay off some overdue bills. And yet a
24:30
few weeks ago he was able to buy an eight thousand dollars sports car.
24:33
It ties up, dollar, It all ties up. But how did Sonny
24:37
Wyman figure it? Oh? Sonny was a fellow who lived by his wits.
24:40
He may have reached the same conclusion about Van Hook that I did.
24:42
They have had an idea for latching onto the reward money. You mentioned the
24:45
matter of a reward to me a couple of times. Or he may have
24:48
had ideas for black nailing. Then another thing, Van Hook saw me drive
24:52
away from his shop in Sonny's car. That many had to act fast get
24:56
rid of Galloway, giving him back to Bracelet, and of course take Sonny
25:00
out of the picture too. Yeah, it all seems to head up very
25:03
nicely. And when we face Van hooked, But there's his place now,
25:07
and here's his driveway. Either he's skipped out or he's asleep. No lights
25:12
on in the place. If you ask me, he's fun way Yeah.
25:17
The third window on the right, the blind was pulled away for a sigam
25:21
and two. Well, then let's get out of this car. We're sitting
25:22
ducks in here. Well how about it, sergeant, what do we do
25:29
you? Boy? Split up a couple of the back the sides of the
25:30
house. He's in there. Yeah, okay, boy, come on,
25:36
Johnny, and maybe you better keep out of this. Are you kidding him?
25:38
Hey? Listen, a car door? I'm sure, yeah, I
25:41
know. Holy what's he up to? Gonna lock himself in? Take the
25:47
monoxide route? Come on the back doors in that garage that I know of.
25:52
Wait a minute, then, Hook, this is the police. We've
25:56
got men all around this place. Run off that engine and come out of
26:00
the old with your hands over your head. Don't be a fool man,
26:03
Hook, you haven't got a chance. Come out of that. You see
26:11
that he goes right through the door of his garage. Come on, la
26:15
see the car. Get after him. You guys got movie a claw.
26:17
Boys, crazy, he's getting into the sand swiping. Heavet see what he
26:26
did to that other patrol car. They're they're all pretending us. Come on,
26:30
step on it, Lacy. This is one time we ought to have
26:33
a Cosmo roma. Well maybe he cannot run us, but with two cars
26:36
on his tail, he may it kill. Let's take chances. If so,
26:37
we'll hang on. Lacy. You could qualify for some of those road
26:42
races yourself. That guy's out of his head. Main highway like this full
26:47
of trucks and trailers. I don't worry about those guys. Those interstate truckers
26:49
will give you a clear road after him, and the best drivers in the
26:52
country come on, hit you, siry right. Hey see I told you
26:57
those guys who give you the road. Holy Look the trailer in front of
27:03
him and the oncoming truck man. Hook's trying to squeeze through. Hollo up
27:07
pop, Well, only squeeze through, all right, squeeze right through the
27:18
pearly gates. Expense account at him five thirty eight dollars seventy five cents roam,
27:30
two meals and valet service at the coast of It BAS had them six
27:33
one dollars and sixty cents here Fair and Incidental's Palm Springs, California. Back
27:37
to Hartred Expense account total four hundred and seventy four dollars eighty four cents,
27:41
remarks, well, justice has done in pretty strange ways sometimes kind of makes
27:48
you think maybe it pays to tread this straight and narrow, doesn't it?
27:52
Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Now here is our star to tell you about
28:08
next week's story. Next week Internationland three, A beautiful girl and a very
28:14
clever chemist join us, Won't you yours truly? Johnny Dallner, yours truly?
28:33
Johnny Dollar is starring Bob Bailey. Originates in Hollywood. It is written
28:37
by Paul Franklin and is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone. Heard in our
28:42
cast were Barbara Eiler, PAULA Winslow, Boris Lewis, Frank Nelson, Sam
28:47
Edwards, Austin Green, and Chef Mancoln. Musical supervision is by Amerigo Marino.
28:52
Be sure to join us next week, same time and station for another
28:56
exciting story of yours truly, A Dollar m This is damn cumberly speaking.
29:33
Johnny Dollar has come to you through the worldwide facilities of the United States Armed
29:37
Forces, radio and Television servants. Welcome back. I go to Alpa,
31:00
so I definitely suspected that someone else with a sportscar was the one behind it,
31:10
particularly the way they made the point of how many of the same sports
31:17
car were being sold that the jeweler did. It was kind of a bad
31:23
judgment, particularly because even if Johnny had no reason to suspect, he probably
31:32
would have gone into double checking and verifying who actually the whole purchase history of
31:41
the necklace. Well, speaking of some reality checks, received this from a
31:48
listener and William says, it's a retired firefighter who was president hundreds of scenes.
31:56
I realized that emergency care has changed over the years. However, I
32:00
thought it was amazing that Johnny Dollar and this refers to the Templeton matter,
32:05
was able to fly to Boston and arrive at the jewelry store heist and the
32:08
gunshot victim still had not been transferred to the hospital. Ambulances at that time
32:14
had far less equipment than today, so the best approach was to rush the
32:17
victim to a hospital rather than provide anything other than urgent care at the scene.
32:22
Just realitycheck Dot Corbyn, Well, thanks so much, and that's certainly
32:28
a point, and probably if there was an explanation, it may have been
32:34
written for a series or even for a story where Johnny would be going within
32:39
his own home city, and it isn't. And I guess the one thing
32:46
is that as much as the time for taking flights has increased, maybe they
32:57
thought, you know, it'd be pretty simple for Johnny, particularly with a
33:01
short distance, to fly to Boston in time to find the victim still at
33:08
the scene. Probably not right, but you know, as Johnny didn't have
33:14
to take off his shoes and go through the metal detectors, and he might
33:19
have made it a little quicker. Still, it would have been more likely
33:22
for him to run into the suspect at the or running to the victim at
33:29
the hospital. The idea of Johnny dealing with crime scenes that are that fresh
33:36
in any circumstances kind of unrealistic because usually it takes a while for an insurance
33:42
company to get called in. Thanks for the comment, and we turn now
33:45
to some itune reviews. Mad Marks two thousand says Adam Graham has excellent taste
33:54
in this fantastic genre. I've been a fan of old time radio for over
33:59
thirty and thought I'd heard all the good ones, but Adam continues to introduce
34:02
me to great new shows. Hope you never leave the ether. Adam,
34:08
keep up the good work. Sincerely, David Moxon and then doctor Samman b
34:15
C says, the best podcast I've ever listened to and the only one I've
34:21
You've ever bothered to write. Listen to it every night helps clear my mind
34:24
to the daily grind. Adam does a great job and I enjoy hearing his
34:29
insights into each episode. I only started listening recently have been working my way
34:34
from the early episodes. You can really hear Adam's growth well. Thanks so
34:38
much to appreciate your comments, and that will actually do it for today.
34:45
We will be back tomorrow with our final two episodes of Police Headquarters, and
34:54
then be sure and join us again next Friday for yours truly, Johnny Doller.
