The Latourette Matter

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — John Lund Era (1952–1954) · Aug 7, 2026 · 28m

Aired: Feb 20th, 1953. A Denver bookstore fire that killed Frank Latourette's wife seemed like an open-and-shut arson claim, until Johnny Dollar's predecessor on the case turns up dead in a hit-and-run. Johnny flies in to settle the insurance details and console the widow, only to find a police lieutenant, a grieving woman convinced of murder, and a missing report that all point to something far bigger than a careless cigarette. Classic John Lund-era intrigue, itemized down to the last expense.
