Latest / Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — Bob Bailey 30-Minute Era (1956–1960)
The Desalles Matter: Drowned in Fortune
Aired: Jan 13th, 1957. Johnny Dollar heads to the foggy coastal town of San Ladeo to reinvestigate the drowning death of tycoon Dave Desalles, whose widow stands to collect $100,000 on a double-indemnity policy. With a skeptical old friend and fellow investigator at his side, Johnny starts pulling at the loose threads of a case the local police were all too eager to close as an accident. A classic slow-burn Johnny Dollar puzzler full of easy money, tired witnesses, and a claim that just doesn't smell right.
