Bob Bailey 2:25
From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Dollar.
Virginia Gregg 2:33
Long distance. Mr. Pat McCracken in Hartford, Connecticut is returning your call, Mr. Dollar.
Bob Bailey 2:38
Oh, thanks, operator. Put him on.
Virginia Gregg 2:39
One moment, please.

What background information is revealed about the liquor store owner?

Bob Bailey 2:42
Hello? Hi, Pat.
Paul Dubov 2:43
Oh, Johnny. Hey, this message I found. Boy, I'm glad you called. Say, what under the sun are you doing in Los Angeles?
Bob Bailey 2:49
Sit down here for a confab with Jack Johnstone. You know, the guy who dramatizes the cases I handle and puts them on the air.
Paul Dubov 2:55
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I give him my best.
Bob Bailey 2:56
And I just wondered if you had anything out here I can do before heading back to Hartford.
Paul Dubov 3:00
And if so, it'll give you a chance to put your travel charges on the expense account.
Bob Bailey 3:04
What else?
Paul Dubov 3:06
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.
Bob Bailey 3:14
Okay, will do. And you can address your expense account to them. Right. Yeah? Have you got a gun with you? Sure, Pat. I always... Huh? Why do you ask that?
Paul Dubov 3:26
Well, judging by Herb's wire, Johnny, you may need it.
Bob Bailey 3:38
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.
Bob Bailey 4:35
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.

What suspicious circumstances surround the liquor store's repeated holdups?

Bob Bailey 4:54
And now, act one of yours truly, Johnny Dollar.
Bob Bailey 5:12
