I always say, if you take a trip halfway around the world, you've
got to expect you'll get your ticket punch. This is another in the adventures
of America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator Johnny Dollar. That insurance investigation Johnny Dollar is
only an expert at making out his expensicouse. He is an absolute genius spens
accounts submitted by special Investigator Johnny Dollar, who the constant Son Trading Company Hiro
Egypt and may I say this is an unexpected pleasure. The one thing I
didn't expect him up into during this case was somebody to pay the bills.
It started out being my answer to a fire alarm round twelve thousand miles away
by an old wartime friend. It wound up being a game of who gets
killed first with a bunch of guys who suddenly declared themselves a small peacetime war.
It's a different to the pinion arose over a little hassle I might call
the expiring Nickels and the Egyptian Jackies. Trans accounts it don't want twenty two
hundred dollars air transportation from Little old Connecticut to Big Old French Indo, China.
Or specifically in Hartford to hapning. That's why I got off the plane
to take a breather, but had ter smelling the air. I'm getting hipped
my face with a bucket full of lukewarm raindrops. I got right on another
plane, bound for my destination, where I'd been summoned by an urging cable
calcutters. We took off on instruments in the downflour of a drenching monsoon with
like climbing up a waterfall blindfolded. We got chased up to twenty thousand feet
player up into the penthouse by a batch of black hearted thunderheads laced with lightning.
And there we stayed, sucking oxygen for nine riary hours and waiting for
the moment we'd get off our island. In the sky transit house, I
done two three rupees transportation from airport to the address of old friend would summon
me a place you'd never expect to find trouble in church, and what a
church. Two quoncert huts on chow RANGI rode A couple of dozen wooden benches
are required USO Hammond Organs, and the most important is panthers. A guy
i'd met when I was calling the CBI. There my home away from home.
Champlin, Joe, blessing. That is to see you a long time,
Joe, too long. I haven't changed a bit since you were passing
out those sl slips unhappy GI. So you did decide to stay on here
after all? Yeah? Yeah, I decided East Indian brand. The fool
needed a little more saving than the kind I used to know back in Magnolia.
Simancy, come on in the opportunities. It was good of you to
come right over. You must be wondering why you did well? Your tables
did. Got to worry too, Joe. You know when a next shoulder
against the troubles off a chaplain something's really wrong. What does so now that?
Johnny tell me? I would you like to do some work in my
defunction? Wait a minute, I wouldn't know where to start. I'm asking
you to save a man's souls and to save another man's life while you're doing
it. Why me, Joe, Why did I ask you to come all
the way from Hospit Connecticut? Well, Johnny, the ways a deva.
There wasn't time for me to do anything else. If I'd gone through the
proper channels, here if I'd become involved with all the inevitable red cape,
well, there just wasn't time, Johnny. There's a man in Cairo waiting
to be executed at dawn there after tomorrow for a murder he didn't commit.
And here in Calcutter, and here in Calcuttr is a man who not only
witnessed that crime, but has in his possession the evidence that can save that
man from swinging. Uh huh? Who is this man? A flying rope
band Lionel Brooke Nichols. He's the president of a vast enterprise called the Constant
Son Trading Company. Now, Johnny, I wasn't ignoring the fact that you
worked for a living. I'm sure that if you're successful, it's the name
your own praise. This is not a quote realism, Johnny. But mister
Brook Nichols has nothing but money. I didn't realize that such big man got
into such big trouble. Oh he didn't get into it all by hisself.
Oh no, Oh, this particular big man had the bad luck to have
a fun loving cousin who'd like to see him out of the way, and
the fast of the vettle name of Miles Atkinson. He must be some sort
of big wheel in the Egyptian government. I saw I know about him,
except that the game control of the Constant Sun Company. He would move heaven
on earth to see Brook Nichols dead. Well, I don't care what he
does with the Earth, but I guess I can't stand by and let him
mess around with your heaven. Now let's get down occasion. What about this
dude here in Calcutter, the witness for the evidence. Well, his name's
William Briggs. He's a very sick man sonner knowing that he might die soon,
and it looks like he might. He's at a sudden rush of conscience
for the mouth he wants to talk. Evidently he's decided that since it's too
late to save his body, he'd better do a quick job on his soul
and I nurse him. The tyro is that no, I'm sending a young
assistant of mine who will take that job off your hands. I think you'll
like him, Jurney. Now I want you to get Briggs to the right.
Official arrangements have been made for an ambulance to meet you in Cairo,
and well we've started a cargo plane to take you there. Now the pilot
says he can get you there but tomorrow night. Well, I spent so
much time in the air getting here that it shouldn't make any difference. But
why a cargo plane one on a passenger plane? They have nice soft feat
So Johnny the airlines refused to transport a lesson. Heaven sure has some good
salesman on the road, and Chaplain Joe Blessing is one of the best.
Before I knew it, a big Horizon's unlimited plane was lifting off the runway
at Calcutter and I was in it, sitting on a suitcase. It looked
like I'd never had five to one tax. The invalid Briggs was forward being
betted down under the gentle hand of Chaplain Joe's assistance. Franky, Well,
that is done, and I give up me Saturday afternoon at belm on pot
for it. You're in luck, Frankie. Think of all the losers you
miss betting on mister dollar. You have the philosophy of a man who has
never enjoyed the exquisite trill and losing his last two dollars upon a horse who
was retarding the improvement of the breeze. The young man you've never heard of
the Bluegrass branch or the Dollar family, Kentucky, Sir, mister dollars,
they were not for a citing horse in Kentucky named Briefy Boy who ran a
very poor eighth at Rockingham. I would not only be a Kentucky colonel,
I would be a Kentucky general passing the time of day with my esteemed cold
general three star ennessy hits. That's it, here's briefcage breaks. He wants
you to take care of it. And what's that? What's in it?
Should be in a holster. How do you know, mister Dollar, I
got a such a field. Besides, I look, it's the Lucas a
Louder. Huh yeah, of that, I'd say. We are now in
possession of the evidence the murder weapon in first exhibit A. Good still loaded
with Exhibit A making an arsenal out of my right coat pocket. We touched
wheels at Bombay for three hours and fuels and then I'll hiked back up for
the run across the Arabian Sea. We made landfall high on the coast of
Saudi Arabia and the freight of the cuff shoreline let us on of the Queen
of Siva's old hometown hot while we sat down again for servants, airplane and
personal. Frankie and I got our sick man Briggs out and into the shade
of a hangar, figuring he'd use a breath of fresh air, but he
didn't find it in that sun baked hell hole. Rubby little ground crew burned
up four valuable hours taking their own unsweet time servicing the ship. That left
us just eight hours to get Briggs in his evidence up to Cairo, and
left me almost enough time to save with the brook Nichols and taking the rope
ride. Estimated time of arrival midnight, time of execution six am, and
I've learned that British official are hard to wake up. Pilot stood the ship
straight on the tail and made a quite a take off getting out of there.
We were forty minutes out of out, about five thousand feet above the
Red Sea when we ran into what I've learned to expect in my business,
be unexpected. Oh could uh, I've heard you, gentlemen? Tell me
where I pay my share? Well for tru Where did you come from?
Hey? Walk on like this? I have not seen spinzmane. It's all
right. Gentlemen, you can top your eyes back. And you've seen a
woman before. I remember a scoop one up out of the sky before it.
Could it be she's an angel? What are you doing here? I'm
afraid I'm what you'd call her still away? How'd you get aboard when the
plane was empty? I lost myself in the pocket room. I'm sorry I
had to do it this way, but I have to get the kiro immediately.
The next airline fly doesn't go out till eleven to night. I should
have ride to the captain. I have him turned around. Dump your back.
I'm perfectly willing to pay my way. Don't worry. We can't spare
the time, mister dollar. There are only certain things which make air travel
a pleasure to certain people. With me. That is a stewardess, and
I would be glad to brief her about her duty. Uh, you go
check the patient, frank you, I'll check my stowaway. Ah, that's
what comes. I'm always being only in the system. I noticed that to
a man in the stretched when you took your monk. Who is he?
Never mind? What's your name, Sabian? Uh? What's so important?
You've got to get the Cairo this way, sorry, and that's the dollars.
That's a feature. It's also a secret how you get into that little
dress you're wearing. I'm glad you like it, address yet secret snow.
When I find myself in an airplane of stowaway, I smell trouble. That
trouble you smell across eighty five dollars an hour. I listen to saviors sharp
talk for a cocktail, Aunes, don't waste it hair. You must think
I'm kidding. That's a serious You're flying across international boundaries. Who are you
too fat? Saviian kiss, here's my passport and here is money? How
much? Okay? Lcora sort of bond to ensure your good behavior? Five
minute dollars. All that was good behavior. That's oly hot. So is
this airplane? If you don't like it? Jumped? She didn't jump,
and after seven and a half more droning hours, I was glad of it.
Faate Sabian was all woman, all beautiful. Oh, in a pretty
nice relief. I'm watching the time run through my wrist watch. She spent
most of the trips hearing my suitcase when they but once I looked up at
her, which she was shillouetors against the windows posed against that move throught the
Gyptian sky. It was almost worth a trip the way she looked wearing those
stars in the aircos about vent a vague glowing the horizon took over when my
conscience left off. We were coming in the Cairo, and the problem of
landing fifty thousand pounds of airplane replaced the problems landing one hundred and twenty pounds.
A woman I've never learned. I have a whole back a sty of
relief when I heard those big tires take along the runway, and I tried
another one when I saw an ambulance standing by at the parking ramp. When
the time the loading platform was pushed in the place and the door opened,
the ambulance was banked up ready to receive break. Are you the tat bringing
them? Mistu breaks in from Calcutta. Yeah, that's right. Never want
to stretch her. He's on one. Oh right, let's make you more
than Come along, Lostcu come in here, all ready to go franking mister
Dullah wa'ts your language? That is not the thing to say about mister Bree.
Once people look at home in an ambulance now and oh congratulations before the
fit, no nothing, thank the elevants lost John point the poor chap out
of the air. Got I gotta trag with a pilot, Frank and give
me these guys a ham with him. They may need it getting down at
ramp. Anything that moves me towards the end of this is a pleasure.
Now you want me to help this tee to me? Hey, hey,
mister dollars, these guys ain't just plant at you. In just a moment
we return to the second act of Johnny Dollar. But Chris, whatever you're
planning to do over the Labor Day weekend, be sure to plan to listen
over most of these same stations tonight to a wonderful new show on CBS.
It's Horace Height's Original US Opportunity Show. A full half hour of fun and
excitement. You'll get the thrill of a lifetime hearing talented young Americans get the
chance of a lifetime. Don't forget Sunday Night with Horror's Heights, The Horrors
Height Original Youth Opportunity Show starting tonight on CBS that this'sten Carefully Easy is it?
Ind and TV and Now with our star Charles Russell. We returned to
the second act of Yours Truly Age, Johnny Dollar. I had made four
steps toward the content when I heard Frankie yell, and I haven't stepped back
toward the door when I heard the shot. By the time I got to
the top of the ramsey m and I sent about twenty yards away. It's
hit it against that distance for two overlapping thoughts. One I might have stopped
or they slow it down with the punch of the rear. Tryers to the
two of hand. Was that loaded exhibit at Luga that should have been in
my pocket? It wasn't there. I looked around, didn't see it,
but I thought I knew where to find it. Come on, come on,
open up. I'll put the spires because of that joy, and if
your head of them in the way, I'll get that bonn more. Don't
use the same hiding place twice. It could be that I wasn't hiding,
and it could be that that purse is now holding a luger. Give me
it. Yeah, Now, all I need is to hear you say you
don't know how it got there. I don't know how it got there.
That does it? Come on? You're coming with me, Come on,
go Oh, you don't have to do that. What I did have to
do was dig up some transportation. It turned out to be a taxi whose
driver had slept for the excitement and therefore was the only one I thought,
And he was still asleep when I gave my unwilling companion and ungentlemanly shove into
the rear seat, and we left. Nobody in full control of their faculties
could drive the way hit it. He knew he had a horn, but
somebody had forgotten to tell him about. Break I had to go on was
the direction in which that ambulance had taken off, straight toward Cairo. So
that's where we went, straight toward Cairo. On whatever your name is,
up stout a story my name's sake, lad, I couldn't be less interested.
But I want to know always where are those friends yours? Take breaking,
Franklin, I have no friends. I can believe that I have those
suge Where are they? I don't know what you're talking about. I don't
think coy he want those mudgs in that ambulance had up that sho well,
doesn't take any brains here. You're all working for the same guy. What
the same guy, Miles Atkinson, the guy that's trying to keep witness breaks
and his evidence from saving Brooke Nichols from hanging about five and a half hours.
You're being give me his aye. Sure, All I know is somebody
got away with a witness and I find the evidence sharing your purse with your
rivals. Found it on the plane. Somebody must have dropped. Don't give
me that. You can probably respect a serial Okay, you want the murder
weapon, I'm gonna be a real nice guy just long enough to give it
to you, and then I'm gonna give you to the police. They have
a nice little game they play with combinations like that. Hello, are you
the chief inspector? I am. This girl keeps telling me her name is
Faith Fabian. How do you do, Inspector? I'll I'll bet my name
is Johnny Dollar. I'm looking for somebody who knows the Brook Nichols case.
Well, you pert indicated the right place I know about the Brook Nichols case.
Well that's what I'm here about. You can bust that case wide open.
Inspector Brook Nichols is in his I hear this, Louger is all the
evidence will need, Thank you, mister do The one thing you'll still have
to help me find, though, is a man named Briggs. He was
an eyewitness the murder. I brought him all away from Calcutter and somebody put
a slash on him at the airport. Only at last they grabbed the guy
who was helping me. Oh, yes, yes, that would be the
obstreperous young gentleman you call Frankie. Well you know where he is, Yes,
indeed I do. Things are all right? Yes? Is you could
call a man all right? And he's just been arrested for the murder of
mister Biggs murder. Yes, mister Briggs, will softened the ambulance that took
him from your plate. Okay, what is this? This is a very
good time for both of you to remain perfectly still, mister Ballad. After
you raise your hands, there's misstad and you needn't bother. There's hardly enough
of that dress to conceal all of you, let alone the weapon. Thank
you, mister Ballard. This is what a romanticist with Polly poetic ins us.
You see this lugo, the evidence that you call it happens to belong
to me, because that's the murder weapon. Who are you anyway? Deep
of inspectors miles An Miles Atkinson. Oh no, oh, yet five five
thousand miles from cow cut out to put you in the hands of the police,
and you turn out to be the police. Bloody convenience. Isn't it
not for me? It isn't steady old one. You know, this gun
was probably the most fortunate purchase I haven't made in my life. First,
it killed a man who was in my way. Then because it disappeared,
it made it possible for me to estab is false evidence ostensibly proving that my
esteemed cousin, Bruce Nichols was guilty of the murder. And now his death
by Hans will place in my hands the controlling interists of the Constant Sun Trading
Company. Quite a bargain, Thank you, mister Dollar. Not you the
gun which I shall now put to its final use, and after it is
disposed of you two is who disposed of it? That was the prettiest compassion
I've ever heard. I'm surprised that the peek inspector and bargain hunters to sell
himself out. So speaking, what do you mean by that that the concession
was complete voluntarily made in front of witnesses, and that we are leaving with
it, and that you are coming with us. Hey, fright, baby,
take it easy. No sense going on to make for a hot bullet.
Mister Dollar is right. I warn you, the one who moves first
dies first. Very well. Heait one step close to Misstadian. I'm not
afraid of you, all right, you are for it, now'll take it.
No, it's not bullet light and Ladies says so fine. Out boy.
He did throw the gun, but not at me. Had the single
light picture in the middle of a ceiling, and when that one out,
saw at Atkinson out through the door, and the case was odd. There
was no dope. He knew what the light whiches were he as we went
racing past them and twitched them off. It was like a night fline without
gun up a carrot and might diet saving him down a long empty echoy card
or enough to spare for the roof at the door of the roof, I
drew on our break. I threwing him on our face. He was sharp
and it was dark, but I was scared. I think that Atkinson might
have picked up a weapon on the way, and that turned out to be
and underrest of it what he had picked up was a fire hose through that
door. We got hit by a big back boat of liquid lightning, a
couple of hundred pounds of water backed up by a couple of thousand pounds of
pressure. It felt like a salmon swimming upstream to spawn at the edge of
the roof, braced against the low parapets, where Atkinson using all his weights
that keeps a rising nozzles from flipping him around. He was just one man
on a fire department terrace. Great, I'm all around here this side.
Try throw that water off hiding which is get over that valve. He a
swim that wheel over there the end of the hose. He ate on put
off the water. Come on, how can I go? Instead of dropping
away, it would dribble. A suddenly snapped its muscle up to a target
that the driving surge of water went through it, and before Atkinson to gut
himself unentangled from the canvas and rubber snake, it snapped him over the parapet,
off the roof and high end of the night. He fat turn off
and order, Oh I what a justice baby, and fire a hose through
mister Chief Inspector Atkinson off the roof, and he made a hole in one
right through. That's gallows down there, the same gallows from which Brooke Nichols
was supposed to hanging a few hours. That's horrible. Let's let's move away
from you. He would have. I'd not like you, after all.
You're the gallows turned that water up and stood it down. He wanted it
done right. Why didn't you send a plumber. I don't want to ask
you if you met it that way or not, as well as I'm concerned
to turn out to turn out just jolly this way. And while I'm at
it, I'd like to fight you for taking such a brave chance with my
life downstairs in the office. Oh really, mister Joll, I knew that
gun wasn't loaded. I unloaded it myself back in the powder room and there
just before you accuse me of trying to steal it. Remember, the next
time I take a shower, I promised to wash my mouth out with soap.
But now I figure it's also about time you came clean. Really,
now, who are you? I'm sorry, my name is still Sate sapiens.
All right, you've made us sail. Your name is faith Fabian.
What's your interest in this case? Oh? It is it all? It's
just part of my job. They do hire people to leave the police.
You know. I happen to be one of those feet. Do you want
to see my siding the credentials? Look all right to ma baby. We
got off the subject off the roof, went into the problem of getting Brooke
Nichols off the end of a rope. After going through those motions and that
Gual made all emotions, including retrieving on franky to the polky, I kissed
face baby in Dubai just for luck, and receiving no interest on an investment.
We had it back to the airfield by the time that fire brawll Egyptian
sun had focused top rim over the left of a GI issue hangars at the
east end of the field. The plane was serviced panning to pry open the
