Latest / Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — Mandel Kramer Era (1961–1962)
The Ike And Mike Matter
Aired: Mar 18th, 1962. A Corpus Christi insurance man's frantic phone call pulls Johnny Dollar into a tangled case of a $25,000 double-indemnity policy, a small-time hustler nicknamed "Smartiac," and a shadowy old con man who may have bought the coverage just to collect on it. Before Johnny can even land, the insured is dead in a house fire — and the itemized expense account that follows traces every mile of his hunt for the truth. A late entry in Mandel Kramer's run as Johnny Dollar, this one delivers the show's trademark blend of wry banter and hardboiled insurance fraud.
