Johnny Dollar. This is Lieutenant Shark.

Edmund O'Brien (Johnny Dollar - narrator / principal role) 1:00

Did you leave a message for me to call? Yes, I did, Lieutenant. I want you... You were all bungled up by the time I got it. Snyder got your name and what hotel, but I never did find out who you are and what you wanted with me. It was about the Alonzo Chapman killing. Oh.

1:15

Well, what's your interest in that?

Edmund O'Brien (Johnny Dollar - narrator / principal role) 1:16

I'm an insurance investigator. I was sent out here from Hartford, Connecticut to see what I could learn.

1:21

Oh, you were? Well... How'd you get out of here so fast?

Edmund O'Brien (Johnny Dollar - narrator / principal role) 1:24

We got the news at about 8 last night. I was on a plane by midnight and in Los Angeles by noon today. Well, I must be tired. I don't have any more than I had last night. I suppose you want to talk to me, though. Yeah, I'd like to. All right. Come on over.

Who opens the case and why does Johnny Dollar arrive in Los Angeles?

Edmund O'Brien (Johnny Dollar - narrator / principal role) 1:39

But give me an hour so I can get some lunch.

© BF-WATCH TV 2021 Expense account item one, $208.50, airfare and incidentals between Hartford, Connecticut and Los Angeles, California. After a delay of about an hour or so, I was able to make an appointment with Lieutenant Jim Shock, the detective in charge of the case. I met him at about 2.15, and he brought me up to date. Chapman was registered at the Quincy Hotel. He met this girl in the hotel bar at about 7 last night. They left together about, let's see, a quarter to 8. turned in the alley to get to the parking lot where a car was parked, and that's where he was shot, in the alley. Was it robbery? No. He was well-heeled, too, over $300. Had it in his coat pocket. What about this girl? We didn't hear about her.

Edmund O'Brien (Johnny Dollar - narrator / principal role) 2:59

Well, we did. Norma Sayle. Picked up on a shoplifting charge last year. But she got a job and stayed out of trouble since. Pretty little thing. Born in Nebraska. She says she met an actor in a road company back there. He told her he'd introduce her to some important people in Hollywood, and maybe she could... You know how it goes. Yeah, but I wonder if Chapman's wife is going to. She's on her way out here. How long has this girl known him? Well, she says she just met him last night. I think that's what she said. She was transferred to county jail this morning at 11.30, a material witness. I suppose you want to talk to her. Yeah, I'd like to. So would I. Might as well go on over. Because it's growing too fast.

Edmund O'Brien (Johnny Dollar - narrator / principal role) 3:45

That's why. We got too many people. We got too many... We got too many cars. Too much of everything but streets. It's a mess. Of course, I don't know anything about Hartford. I've never been there. Well, it's a little slower paced than Los Angeles, but it's got its problems. Yeah, I suppose every place has something.
