Well, now it's time for today's episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. The original air date, February 10th, 1950. And this one is the SS Malay Trader Ship.
I'm now for Edmund O'Brien as yours truly, Johnny Dollar.
Edmund O'Brien in another of the adventures of the man with an action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, Johnny Dollar.
Expense account. Submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to Home Office, Intercontinental Marine Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of my expenditures during my assignment aboard the SS Melee Trader, a ship with no port of call. Expense account, item one, $80. Transportation from Hartford to Savannah, Georgia. Well, after pausing only to grow a beard and deck myself out in seaman's garb, I proceeded to the local hiring hall of the Seaman's Union.
The Cape Lorenzo, C2, tailors of the Panamanian lines bound for Rio de Janeiro leave tomorrow morning, 9 a.m. The call is for one baker, one gallagoy, one carpenter, and two A.B. Cape Lorenzo, C2...
Yes, yes, okay. All right, we'll put the call right through right away.
Sam, what is it? The name is Dollar.
What challenges does Johnny face aboard the ship?
I'm signing on to Melee Trader. Ordinary seaman, special permit. Special, huh? Well, let me see now. Oh, yeah, here it is. Insurance deck, huh? Adam's had to cooperate, Dollar. Thanks. Where do I find the ship? Pier 8. The directions will all be here on your assignment slip. Uh, what's the beef? A hot cargo? Well, maybe... When I find out, you can read about it in the paper. Okay, so you're not talking. That's your business. There you slip. Now, the best way to get there is to follow the railroad tracks past the warehouse. My new home, when I found her, looked neither pretentious, comfortable, or even seaworthy. She was a rusty old Liberty ship that probably had a war record... but hadn't had a coat of paint in months.
Her winches, foreign ass, were busy feeding heavy rattan-covered bales into her gaping holes. Her decks were alive with longshoremen, and set against all that activity, a bulky gent wearing an officer's cap lolled on a stool near the head of the gangway, idling time with fingernails and a penknife.
