- 1:42It's time now for Johnny Dollars, the investigator. That's right, Insurance investigating.
- 1:53Yes, well, my name is Frank Skinner, mister Donna. Yes,
- 1:56you see, my wife and I run the Sunny Dream Home all Fox
- 2:00Home ities. I see. Well, now what can I do for you,
- 2:04mister Skinny. I'm afraid there's something wrong here, mister Dollar. You
- 2:07see, we've never had anything like this before, like what sirtain? Where
- 2:12to begin with? All our clients are pretty well in sure, yes,
- 2:15all right. We've been having a lot of deaths here in the hold in
- 2:19these past months, too many, mister Dolla. Well after all of your
- 2:23clients, they're all very old people, yes they are, but you see
- 2:25these have all been accidental death. Yeah, well, don't forget so that
- 2:30other people are very often quite prone to accident. Yes that's true, but
- 2:34if you want the truth, I don't think they've been accidents. Oh no,
- 2:38sir. And if something isn't done to this where, I think maybe
- 2:43you'd better come up here and see us winner. I think you're right.
- 2:54Bob Bailey in the Exciting Adventures of a Man with the Action Impact Expenser car
- 3:00America's Fabulous freelance insurance investigator was truly Johnny Dollar and now act one of yours.
- 3:12Truly Johnny Dollar. Expense account submitted by a special investigator Johnny Dollar to
- 3:31the Universal Adjustment Bureau Hertford, Connecticut. Following is an account of expenses incurred
- 3:37during my investigation of the Sunny Dream Matter. Expense account out in won ten
- 3:46cents for a phone called a Pat McCracken, my old friend, had contact
- 3:49at Universal Adjustment Bureau. Oh, say, I'm glad you called Johnny.
- 3:53Yeah, well, Pat, I just want you to know I won't be
- 3:54available for a couple of days. Oh, yes, you will. And
- 3:57it isn't because of any insurance matter. Yes it is. What's happened is
- 4:00that I've just received a phone call. It's aroused my curiosity and will at
- 4:03any rate any assignments you may have for me. We'll have to wait until
- 4:06I get That's where you're wrong, Johnny, I said, we'll have to
- 4:09wait until what just happens. You have an assignment right now? As a
- 4:14matter of fact, I haven't just about to call you. Well, can't
- 4:16I wait a couple of days? No? No, Johnny, I want
- 4:18you to run over to Bucklands Center. Huh, I think you heard me,
- 4:24the Sunny Dream Home for the Agent. That's right, How did you
- 4:28know? I don't mind that. What's wrong over there that you know about?
- 4:30Oh, the number of debts over there in the past few months have
- 4:32made our actuarial tables look like a big fat mistake. And the companies that
- 4:36have carried the insurance and I'm getting a little worried, all separate companies.
- 4:40Huh yeah, but they all clear their policies through us. Fortunately, otherwise
- 4:44we never have gotten into this anyway. I promised to send you over there.
- 4:47Any particular reason for thinking something's wrong, aside from the unusual number of
- 4:51deaths? Yes, what the beneficiary of the policies that they've had to be
- 4:56paid? The Sunny Dream Home for the Agent. I gasped up my Jallopy
- 5:06at the sign of the flying red horse that sided him two four to twenty
- 5:09five and drove some thirty miles south and Eastern Highway too. I found a
- 5:14sunny dream home just north of Buckland Center. It consisted of a huge,
- 5:16old frame house surrounded by trees and well kept gardens. In comfortable chairs scattered
- 5:21here and there on the wide porch and lawn. Nice looking, well dressed
- 5:26older folks set around reading and chatting, playing cards, enjoying the late afternoon
- 5:30sun. The whole place looked clean, quiet and RESTful. After packing my
- 5:34car, I walked slowly up the long flower boarded walk under the trees toward
- 5:39the enderes, and as I did so, a little wizened old man in
- 5:42a wheelchair that detached himself from a group of the old folks and wheeled over
- 5:45to me with your daughter. Yeah, that's right, I'm praying Skinner to
- 5:49win the cord. Oh hh, yeah, it's this gonna come right along
- 5:53in the office where we can talk. Yeah. Sure, Oh may I
- 5:56give you a hand with that chair? Nope, don't need it, must
- 6:00say you handle it well. Sure, haven't been on my feet over five
- 6:02years now. You can you help me up this little ramp though, if
- 6:06you don't mind. Oh sure, good time, Walter my steps that m
- 6:16yes, sir, it's a big help to a man that can't use his
- 6:18legs. Right around the side of the porch chair or evening, miss Baker,
- 6:25good evening, mister Skinner. And here we are. If you just
- 6:30open the door. Sure we just sit down there and I'll get right to
- 6:39the point. Okay, fine, you listen to me. I'd appreciate it
- 6:45if you'd let the folks here things that you've just come to look over the
- 6:47place, like maybe you've got some old relative you'd like a nice home for.
- 6:50In other words, you don't want to alarm your clients. Yes,
- 6:54mister Dollar, they are honored guests, all happy and with no worries.
- 6:58Huh. Well, I'm I say that those I saw outside look perfectly content.
- 7:02But now about those so called accidents. Five of our people have died
- 7:08within the last six months, mister Dolla. Five of them terrible, and
- 7:12like I told her on the telephone, they looked like accidents. What kind
- 7:15of accidents? Well, now, the first one, well maybe it was
- 7:19that was all Miss Epp lived in the little guest cuttage out back. What
- 7:24happened, small fire must have started in the waste basket or something. By
- 7:28the time we got to her, well, she suffocated. And I suppose
- 7:32mister Purley might have been accident to two food poisoning. It was, at
- 7:36least that's what the doctor called it. But nobody else got sick on them
- 7:40all those canned features. Mister Dollar, who was the doctor o doct Cherriff
- 7:44from town. Of course, mister Purley was the only one that had three
- 7:47helpings of them. But my wife never had trouble with her cannie. Before
- 7:53we'll go on, mister Ken, Well, oh, miss Charmley fell down
- 7:57the main stairs to the living looked through the door there you can see the
- 8:01stairs. That's a long stairway for eliday folks. In missus Lizzibel, we
- 8:07called her miss Lizzibel, though her real name was what happened to her.
- 8:11She fell out the window of her bedroom, and mister Dalla, she just
- 8:15wasn't strong enough to get her window open that wide. She was ninety four,
- 8:20and poor miss Betler she fell down the stairs too. Or mister Skinner,
- 8:24if those people aren't able to negotiate a stairway like that, you're at
- 8:28fault for requiring them to do it. Well, most of them are.
- 8:31The others had their rooms here on the first floor, like I have too
- 8:33about miss Lizabel. It was ninety four. Well, she never left her
- 8:37room until she fell, or until she was pushed by somebody younger and stronger
- 8:43than she was. Well, unless you can prove something like that, I
- 8:46have to prove that those others were pushed down the stairs. Right, So
- 8:50you see, from what you've told me so far, mister Skinner, there's
- 8:52no reason to suspect those deaths weren't accidental, even so many of them,
- 8:56all within a space of only six months, unless, as I say,
- 8:58you can come up with some concrete evidence to indicate otherwise were right in You
- 9:03can tell me this, Why did all those things happen late at night when
- 9:07those poor folks wouldn't have any reason to be up and around, when there
- 9:11wasn't anybody around who could help them until it was too late. Well,
- 9:15so far as that's concerned, boy, sure, sure folks have got to
- 9:16get up at night sometimes one reason or another. But they all had their
- 9:20own private bars. And if they want anything from downstairs, like something to
- 9:24read or some hot milk, something like that, why all they have to
- 9:26do is push button in the room and my wife gets it for them.
- 9:30We do that all the time. Where is your wife, by the way,
- 9:31Martha, Why she's right here, Frank? Who's this you're blabbing off
- 9:37your mouth too? Why? Matha? This is mister Johnny Dollar insurance investigator.
- 9:43Investigator. Huh, But you can march yourself right out of here,
- 9:46just a minute, a minute, nothing, You get out of here and
- 9:50leave us alone. If you don't throw you out, If you don't think
- 9:54I'm young and strong enough, then I'll show you strong enough to throw a
- 9:58little old lady out of a window or shove a couple of people downstairs.
- 10:03Get out, act too, of yours, truly Johnny Dollar in a moment,
- 10:11and now for another episode in the life of Sergeant Donald Bellweather. My
- 10:16husband. That's what I call a good dinner. Oh that was delicious.
- 10:31Well, I'm glad to hear that, dear. More coffee. Oh yeah,
- 10:33just about a half a couple, please, they are thank you.
- 10:39Now tell me all about your safety class. Did the boys enjoy your speech?
- 10:43Oh yeah, he sure did, thanks to you. I did quite
- 10:46well, my lieutenant complimented me afterwards. Yeah, but that same lieutenant threw
- 10:50me a curve too. Oh, dear, Well, after I gave my
- 10:54talk, he asked the man if there were any questions. Well, I
- 10:58did it one of the guys and said, said, look, sorry,
- 11:03you claim. They were over ninety five thousand deaths and over nine and a
- 11:05half million people injured in accidents in the US last year. It looks to
- 11:11me like all those safety campaigns and slogans are doing no good at all.
- 11:15Oh how did you answer? I didn't. I couldn't think of an answer.
- 11:18I got out of it by saying I'd have more facts and figures at
- 11:22the next meeting. All right, let's see now, Oh, now here
- 11:26it is now first, Sergeant Bellweather. You start off by telling the boys
- 11:31that since nineteen hundred and thirteen, the accidental death rate has been reduced thirty
- 11:37five percent. Or, in other words, if there hadn't been campaigns and
- 11:41safety measures put into effect to reduce accidents, almost a million more people would
- 11:46have been killed in the last forty six years. It certainly is. I'm
- 11:50reading it right out of the National Safety Council record book. Oh and another
- 11:54thing, accidents in the farming areas are much higher than in the city.
- 12:00But you know why. Why Because in rural areas there are fewer policemen enforcing
- 12:05safety laws and less traffic signs and signals to guide the motorists. You know,
- 12:09many more cars travel the city street, and yet the per capita rate
- 12:15of accident is much higher in the rural areas. Of course, the reason
- 12:18is obvious in the city, more safety measures are instituted and obeyed. Reather,
- 12:24you are wonderful, and that's a good logical answer. I don't know
- 12:28what i'd do with that. Ah, that's my Donald's, that's my doll
- 12:46And now act two of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and the Sunny Dream
- 12:50matters. Mark the Skinner owner and the real manager of the Sunny Dream Home
- 13:01for the Aged, was a big woman, tall, muscular, and a
- 13:05lot younger than her husband. I don't want your kind snooping arounds to dollars,
- 13:09so get out of here and leave us alone. Your husband seems to
- 13:11think those deaths here in your Home for the aged weren't so accidental, Missus
- 13:16Skinner, Oh he does. That's what I told him. Dear, if
- 13:18you'd keep that mouthing over shut Franks, it wouldn't have this sort of thing.
- 13:22Why don't you and that wheelchair get out of here. You sound as
- 13:26though you have somebody to hide, Missus Skinner. I have nothing to hide,
- 13:31don't you See what you're coming around here will do to our nice place,
- 13:35and you'll give us a bad name. That's what it'll do. Folks
- 13:37come here on the recommendation of the folks that live here. If your sort
- 13:41starts prowling around, it'll make our nice home for them sound like a murder
- 13:46factory, and I won't have it. I'll just calm down. All the
- 13:50poor old folks, Miss Lizzie Bell and mister Purley and the rest were accidental,
- 13:54that's all. You got any reason to think they weren't, Well,
- 14:00I didn't have until a minute ago. What do you mean by that if
- 14:03they weren't accidents, well, it certainly took somebody younger and stronger to push
- 14:07them down those stairs. You mean me, Well, no, no,
- 14:16mister Dollar, you're wrong. And if anybody started that talk about not being
- 14:22accidents, I guess I did, Yes, you did. I. I
- 14:26was so upset those fine old people passing away while they were like family to
- 14:31me, and I guess I said a lot of things that didn't make sense
- 14:35until the doctor and the police came around and told me I was wrong.
- 14:39The police investigating, yes, and they made quite a stir. I guess
- 14:43that's why you were being here upset, Martha. Well, of course,
- 14:46if they found nothing. Mister Dollar didn't think that I could do anything like
- 14:54what you that I could harm her single care of any of these nice old
- 14:58people. What possible reason could I happen? What sense would it make?
- 15:03Right? We're being paid for their living here, and if anything happens to
- 15:07them, Yeah, yeah, if anything happens to them, you collect a
- 15:11nice, big fat hawk of insurance money. You know about that insurance investigator.
- 15:18Remember, No, no, you're wrong. It was their idea to
- 15:22name us in their policies, wasn't it, Frank, here's more children.
- 15:26Well, let's not talk about it anymore. Now it's getting late, So
- 15:30I think I'll drive back at Buckland Center and have some dinner. Well,
- 15:31you do no such thing. You'll have your suffer your dinner right here.
- 15:37And if you wish to stay overnight, no, you mean I'll have another
- 15:41room to fix up. Of course, Walter. This is mister Johnny Dollar.
- 15:46Dollar, the insurance investigator I hear about all the time on the radio.
- 15:50Char what's your business here? Dollar? Frank call yes, about those
- 15:56accidents, that's right. What do you think about the water? Dollar?
- 16:00He's got enough trouble without you coming around. Well, it's true. You
- 16:03know it first. It's a police making a big right. We've been through
- 16:04all that water. I asked you a question, Why don't you get out
- 16:07of here and leave us alone. I'm sick of all this nonsense. I'm
- 16:11sick of this whole year after year, working like a dog for a lot
- 16:15of old fogiest Are there only the three of you to take care of this
- 16:17place? That's right? And of course, Frank, here is a lot
- 16:19of help. Tie down to that wheelchair. I do all the office work.
- 16:22Oh sure, a big deal. Handle all the money too. What
- 16:26about the talk that as soon as we get enough money we can sell out
- 16:29and get away from here? It look dollar, What difference is it to
- 16:32you who keeps this place up? You're a pretty husky fellow. Water.
- 16:36Yeah, yeah, would you like a little demonstration on you? What do
- 16:41you mean by that? Well, maybe i'll tell you after I've had a
- 16:44look around. Then you will stay. Oh, I'll stay until I'm satisfied.
- 16:48You won't be here for long if I've got anything to do with it.
- 16:51Understand? Is that a threat? Water? Take it any way you
- 16:55like, mister Dolar, I'm sure he didn't mean that the way it sounded.
- 17:04Well, tell me, do you too have joint ownership of this place?
- 17:07You and mister skinnery. Well, well, it's really in my name,
- 17:11and if anything were to happen to you, it would go to Frank
- 17:12and Walter. I see what I said that you've talked about getting enough money
- 17:18to sell out and leave this place? Should Is that what you're planning to
- 17:22do? Yeah? Sure, and that's so sure of course you are a
- 17:27brangle of this place, all the nice people. Mister. Yeah, enough
- 17:34money, you said, like a lot of insurance money from Oh no,
- 17:41you can't think that wrongt Oh no, no, he spoiled and fresh and
- 17:45impetuous and talks a lot. Surely you don't think, missus Skinner, what
- 17:53would you think Act three of yours? Truly? Johnny Dollar in a moment?
- 18:10Do you know who said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty? Those
- 18:15famous words were written by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson knew that human nature tends to
- 18:22causes to take for granted the freedoms for which others have fought valiantly. He
- 18:26knew that Americans had to be alert or the essential freedoms of democracy would be
- 18:32taken away. That's why Jefferson gave his warning to the Americans of his era
- 18:37and to their descendants. He set the price for liberty as eternal vigilance,
- 18:42and Americans through the years have heeded Jefferson's warning. They have been alert to
- 18:48detect and resist the enemies of liberty. Remember the words of Thomas Jefferson.
- 18:55They are part of your American heritage. The price of liberty. He is
- 19:00eternal vigilance. Now Act three of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and the
- 19:07Sunny Dream Matter. At dinner that evening, I made a point of chatting
- 19:15with as many guests at the Sunny Dream Home for the age it as possible.
- 19:19Sweet old missus Baker, who must have been in her eighties, pretty
- 19:22much sum things up as we talked together in the porch in the cool of
- 19:25evening. Oh really kind of sorry for all to mister Donald young man like
- 19:32that doesn't really have a place here in the rule of us. Old on.
- 19:36Yeah, I wonder why he doesn't go out on his own, then,
- 19:38missus Baker, because in spite of his rash, noisy way, he
- 19:42loves his mother and Martha, and since she has so much to do taking
- 19:47cares, why he just stays and hopes isn't you one of the loveliest people
- 19:52you ever met. Well, she certainly seems devoted to you, folks,
- 19:57and she is makes us tow the line, molds us up sometimes just like
- 20:03a mother then, but she's all hard and mister Skinner very nice handles the
- 20:10business affairs of the home. Real good too. It isn't generally known,
- 20:15but he's the one who gave us the idea of making out our insurance to
- 20:19the sunny dream. Oh of course you never told ma evening, you speaker.
- 20:29What a nice young man this is, mister Skinner. We've been having
- 20:33a wonderful time talking away about this and that. Yeah, it's fine.
- 20:37He makes youre a comfortable room upstairs, mister Dollar. Yeah, right at
- 20:42the head of the stairs, very comfortable. Rely, well, don't let
- 20:48me interrupt. I'd like to talk to you a minute. If missus bag
- 20:51will excuses, why go, thank you and we'll talk again tomorrow. Won't
- 20:56sure? Cars you won? Can I? Mister Skinner? When was the
- 21:02last accident when someone fell down those long stairs? Eh? Why that was
- 21:07miss Benster this month? Why? Well, at the head of them,
- 21:11as I came out of my room, I found something that well, they
- 21:15were marks that looked to me as though they'd been made by some kind of
- 21:17struggle out there. Oh, and a tiny piece of claw from a man's
- 21:22suit caught in a splinter on the new post. What are you going to
- 21:26do about it? Or just leave it there? Tomorrow I'll get somebody from
- 21:30the police, the police laboratory over here to look at it. Whoever shoot
- 21:34that was must have a care. Oh no, not necessarily. It was
- 21:38really just a few threads that had been pulled out, but they might be
- 21:44the clue to a killer. I see, well, good luck, mister
- 21:49Dallar. Yeah, thanks. In my room, I waited so long after
- 22:00the big home was quiet, and wondered, wondered if my hunch was going
- 22:06to pay off? Hunch Sitting there in the porch talking with old missus Baker,
- 22:11I'd suddenly remembered something Pat McCracken had told me in the very beginning.
- 22:15He had notified the home I was coming here to investigate. That meant he'd
- 22:18notified Frank Skinner. Could that have been why Skinner phoned me to I lay
- 22:23any suspicion the insurance companies might have, Yeah, I wondered. Finally,
- 22:29about midnight, I heard a noise at the head of the stairway quietly.
- 22:33I opened my door, and there at the top of the stairs, armed
- 22:37with a flashlight and standing solidly on his own two feet, was the man
- 22:40who said he was confined to a wheelchair where mister Darla, you won't find
- 22:47anything there, mister skinnery, because there isn't anything. Hear you lied to
- 22:52me. It got you up out of that phony wheelchair. Didn't it to
- 22:56see if you'd left some trace of your last murder? Didn't it? Pretty
- 23:02Roden racket? Skinny, You and only you handle all the finances of this
- 23:06place. You persuaded the old folks to name you as beneficiary of their insurance
- 23:08policies, then you proceeded to shove them down those stairs. Would you like
- 23:14to see how Askinny denial? You know? Yeah, he'll love to go
- 23:33to trial and whatever sentence they hand him will be much too short. The
- 23:41sunny dream home, well, I hope it'll be the quiet, peaceful place
- 23:45his wife wants to be expens A count total including incidentals, twelve dollars even,
- 23:52yours, truly, Johnny Dollar, Yours truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob
- 24:19Bailey, originates in Hollywood and is produced and directed by Jack Johnstone, who
- 24:25also wrote tonight's story. Heard in our cast were Virginia Greg Peggy Weber,
- 24:29Junius Matthews, Larry Dobkin, and Hurt Holland. Be sure to join us
- 24:33next week, same time and station for another exciting story of yours, truly,
- 24:37Johnny Dollar. This is Dan cobberly speaking. Johnny Dollar has come to
- 25:17you through the worldwide facilities of the United States Armed Forces Radio and Television Service.
- 26:26Welcome back. Hella very well together put together script by Jack Johnstone.
- 26:33Certainly not as if he didn't leave us with clothes, but he puts some
- 26:37good misdirection in there, because almost immediately we're given stronger suspects in the wife
- 26:45and step son, and Johnny just does what he does and plays a hunch.
- 26:51And of course you saw another sign of Johnny's character in that he was
- 26:56ready to drop everything and put himself fall and leave to sort out this whole
- 27:02mess because there were elderly people who are being victimized. Also, it was
- 27:07great, I guess we see another example that Johnny Dollar in his own world
- 27:12is on the radio with Walter calling it out. Though it was good for
- 27:17that not to be the reason Johnny was called in, and that was another
- 27:22part of the mystery as to why the first call came from the old man.
- 27:27And of course that fit neatly into the solution, because I was thinking
- 27:30throughout the show it was incongruity, but it all fit together nicely. Now
- 27:36I wanted to talk about one of the PSAs, and it cited Thomas Jefferson's
- 27:45famous quote eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. And the only problem with
- 27:56that is that Jefferson didn't actually say that. In fact, traditionally the quote
- 28:03is a reference to Wendell Phillips, and I'm getting this information from this day
- 28:07in quotes, and he said eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Power
- 28:14is ever stealing from the many to the few and others. But there was
- 28:22a whole history of this actually prior to mister Bates. In a eighteen nine
- 28:30biography of Major General James Jackson, Thomas Charlton said that one of the obligations
- 28:41of biographers of famous people is fascinating is fastening on the minds of the American
- 28:47people the belief that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. So saym Word's
- 28:52a similar order and then they saw it to an eighteen thirty three article in
- 29:00the addition of the Virginia Free Press and Farmer's Repository, which says, someone
- 29:04has justly remarked that eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Let the sentinels
- 29:11on the watchtowers sleep knot and slumber knot. And there was also a very
- 29:17similar quote by an Irish lawyer named John Philip Curran, though not exactly the
- 29:25same. And it's interesting that Thiss it made it into a radio program produced
- 29:30by the US government. And there are several quotes like that. I think
- 29:37it's probably very particular to Americans more than anyone else with this quotation thing.
- 29:47For example, there's a quote that's been circulated that America is great because it
- 29:53is good, and if it ceases to be great, it will cease to
- 29:57be good, which was attributed to the French writer Alexis to Tolkville's book Democracy
- 30:04in America. Yet you'll never find that phrase into Toolkville's book. But of
- 30:10course that a phrase wasn't said by the person that we sought, Thoughts said,
- 30:15it doesn't make it any less true. And both of these statements are
- 30:19true. But somewhere along the line, somebody heard these statements or read them
- 30:26these statements, and they got it in their mind that this is such a
- 30:30wise statement. Somebody very wise must have made it. And eternal vigilance is
- 30:37the price of liberty. Sounds like something Jefferson would say. In fact,
- 30:41if you ask Jefferson if he agreed with that, no doubt he would.
- 30:45And I think we do the same thing today. I read about a gentleman
- 30:48who sent out some email, an email to a close friend expressing his very
- 30:55strong, heartfelt views. More than a year later, he received the email
- 31:00forwarded back to himself, with all of the phrases statements attributed to George Carlin,
- 31:07who for some reason is cited as a source for all sorts of clever
- 31:12and strident statements of all sorts, particularly about politics and culture. Though perhaps
- 31:19we should be a bit bothered we've gone from attributing things to Jefferson to George
- 31:25Carlin. But at any rate, we turn now to listener comments and feedback,
- 31:30and Chris says, regarding Johnny Dollar, I love hearing that show.
- 31:33Well, thanks so much for listening, Chris, and to all of our
- 31:37listeners out there, thank you so much. We will be back tomorrow with
- 31:41Dragnet, and next week be introducing a new Tuesday show man from Homicide,
