What mysterious call does Johnny Dollar receive?
I founded Ornot in 2013. I think the best thing about Shopify is that we can practice business without technical skills. We can manage the company's background and front-end and sell online. If Shopify was a bicycle, it would be a bicycle itself. That way things are handled and our business is handled in Shopify. Start a free trial at shopify.com.

Johnny Dollar.
Hi there, Johnny. This is Helen Daner.
Helen Daner?
That's right. I live out here in Morro Bay, California.
I see.
Insurance with one of the companies you represent, the Greater Southwest Insurance Company.
Oh, yeah. I do a lot of work for them.
But also, Johnny, do you mind if I call you Johnny?
Well, no, not at all, Miss Daner. Or is it Mrs.?
It's Miss. Or better still, just Helen.
What leads Johnny Dollar to Morro Bay, California?
As I started to say, I not only have that insurance, but, Johnny, I never miss that radio program of yours where you tell all about those exciting cases you solve. Sometimes I just don't see how you do it.
Well, I hope you never find out about the ones I miss out on.
But now, Miss Daynor... I don't think I've missed a single one of your programs.
Good.
I'm your most loyal listener, and I think you're wonderful.
Well, thanks. Well, look, Miss Stainer, I... Oh?
Yes.
Calling about what?
Johnny, if the police weren't able to nab them, isn't that what you say, nab them?
Yeah, sure, but go on.
Well, Johnny, these terrible people might suspect that I'm the one who told the police about them.
What people, Miss Stainer?
And if that happened, well, I guess you can just imagine what they might do to me.
Well, who are these people you're talking about, and just what is it they're up to?
All right, Johnny. Now, listen carefully.
Yeah. Yes?
What clues does Johnny find at Helen Daner's house?
Miss Daynor? Hello? Hello? Hello? Hmm. Oh. Come on now, darling. Don't be a sucker for a... And yet... Hmm.
I wonder...
Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Oh, act one of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the Greater Southwest Insurance Company Home Office, Los Angeles, California. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Big H matter. Expense account item 1-275, long-distance telephone call to Hollywood 8-2124. That is to say, the office of Royal J. Harkins, contact man at Greater Southwest Insurance in Los Angeles. It was late in the day, but luckily, he was still in his office. Nice to hear from you again, Johnny.
What can I do for you? Roy, I'm putting this call on expense account. Oh? Well... That ain't all. If I could make connections down to New York... Well, let's see. There's a plane leaving for the West Coast a little after midnight, so I'd arrive in L.A. early in the morning.
You coming out here?
Unless somebody's been pulling my leg. Roy... Do you have a policyholder named Helen Daner? Yes, we certainly do. Well, now, what's that mean? She's an elderly woman, a spinster, who lives up in the little town of Morro Bay.
That's about 200 miles north of here.
Johnny, she called this office early this afternoon. She demanded your phone number there in Hartford. And? Well, I didn't give it to her. Why not? Because she wouldn't say why she wanted to get in touch with you. Oh, fuck. And knowing how busy you always are, well... But then... Just a few minutes ago, I began to wonder about it.
