From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Dollar.
This is long distance. Mr. Pat McCracken in Hartford, Connecticut is returning your call, Mr. Dollar.
Oh, thanks, operator. Put him on.
One moment, please.
Hello? Hi, Pat. Oh, Johnny. Hey, this message I found. Boy, I'm glad you called. Say, what under the sun are you doing in Los Angeles?
What details emerge about the liquor store owner's murder?
Just down here for a con fair with Jack Johnstone. You know, the guy who dramatizes the cases I handle and puts them on the air. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I give him my best. And I just wondered if you had anything out here I can do before heading back to Hartford. And if so, it'll give you a chance to put your travel charges on the expense account. What else? Johnny, I got a wire from him just a few minutes ago. You contact Herb Schilling at the Greater Southwest Insurance Company right there in L.A. Okay, will do. And you can address your expense account to them. Right. Oh, uh, Johnny? Yeah? Have you got a gun with you?
How does the investigation lead to the widow, Gloria Lehman?
Sure, Pat, I always... Huh? Why do you ask that? Well, judging by Herb's wire, Johnny, you may need it. Bob Bailey in the exciting adventures of a man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. A young lady by the name of Scheherazade kept her audience of one enthralled for a thousand and one nights with one of the longest stories in history. That's a long time to devote to one chronicle, but some of CBS Radio's winning seven weekday dramas have put that record in the shade, entertaining audiences in the millions with many times a thousand and one days of continuing dramatic serials. Each weekday on the CBS radio network, there's a wealth of daytime drama, including such outstanding serials as The Romance of Helen Trent, The Couple Next Door, Ma Perkins, Whispering Streets, The Right to Happiness, The Second Mrs. Burton, and Young Dr. Malone.
Monday through Friday, follow these absorbing true-to-life stories. Only CBS radio brings you the winning seven combination of top daytime dramas. Another important reason for the different sound of this CBS radio station. And now, act one of yours truly, Johnny Dollar.
Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar. To the Greater Southwest Insurance Company, Los Angeles office.
What evidence suggests a deeper conspiracy behind the robbery attempts?
Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Winsome Widow matter. Expense account item one, $1.40 for a taxi from my hotel in West L.A. to Greater Southwest Insurance in one of those big office buildings on Wilshire Boulevard's Miracle Mile. Herb Schilling almost fell off his chair when I barged in on him. Huh? Dollar. Hiya, Herbie. Look, I know that some of those new jet flights are pretty fast, but I only sent that wire to Pat McCracken a couple of hours ago. I didn't waste any time trying to make plane connections. Herb just flew out under my own power. You're kidding, I know. But where were you when you got the word for McCracken?
