The Half-Million Dollar Target

Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar — John Lund Era (1952–1954) · Aug 17, 2026 · 29m

Aired: Jun 23rd, 1953. When someone takes a shot at cantankerous industrialist Jonathan Bellows, insurance investigator Johnny Dollar is sent to protect a half-million-dollar policy — and the reluctant, dismissive man behind it. As Johnny digs into the Bellows household, he finds a young trophy wife, a bitter son gleefully rooting for his father's downfall, and a family that seems almost amused someone wants the old man dead. It's John Lund at his smooth, wry best, itemizing expenses while untangling a case where the victim is the least worried person in the room.
