Johnny Dollar expense accounts submitted by special investigated Johnny Dollar
in the Western Maritime at Property Insurance Company Beverly Hill's office,
following as the count of expenses incurred during my investigation
of the bal Darol matter. Expense account out of one
one hundred and forty six eighty five plane ticket.
Speaker 2: To Los Angeles, Earl Forman was, who I just finished working.
Speaker 4: On a case, drove me from Sarasota to the International
Airport in Tampa.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know why not, Johnny? Are you kidding?
Speaker 4: In this day and age a bunch of bearded gorillas
stripped to the waves, bandanas wrapped around their heads, waving cutlers.
I didn't say that a long, John Silver. I suppose
leading the boarding party. Oh, or that kind of stuff
went on a couple of hundred years ago.
Speaker 2: Sure, sure, But you remember that balatial yacht that was
boarded and taken over just to up San Salvador about
a year ago. Wow, Yeah, convicts from a prison colony
on the island of Isabella. They had control of that
yacht for three days, Johnny.
Speaker 4: When they left, they took along everything of value.
Speaker 2: They could get their hands out. Yeah, you don't call
that piracy? Well maybe so, you think that's what happened
in this case. There's only one way.
Speaker 4: To The flight to Los Angeles was uneventful thanks to
the time zone differential. It was only four thirty PM
when I arrived. I had him two six dollars even
for a cab to the Beverly Hilton where I parked
my bags. I had him three ten cents for a
phone call to Arthur. Arthur, who, if I remember correctly,
was quite a character. Good insurance man, but well character.
I had him four seventy.
Speaker 2: Five cents for a cab to his office on Wisha Boulevard.
Years it all happened somewhere off the coast of Mexico.
Mister Balgistin and his party would just cruise around. They
would just take a life. He eats Balston is the
owner of the arts. HB. Balston. Oh, he's a big
stock booker. He lives in Beverly Hills. It's thirty one
twenty four in the Roxbury Guns. And what's the name
of his youth, the Buldero. It is a tremendous ejo.
It's trom met over one hundred feet insteads wow feet long. Arthur,
where does he keep it? Now? We're just all with
his dark he's down in barber Or knew? Are balboy? Yes? Yes? Oh,
one of the nicest places by the ocean in all
of California. Why Johnny, if I ever were retired. The
guests on board, well, let me see his wife, of course,
and mister and missus Gerald Hooper and young Richard Spider
and Lee Wilway. Just cruising around. Yes, but they'd planned
to sail up to San Francisco for that big charity
ball out there on the thirty off. That's why they
all had their finest clothes, the most expensive jewelry with him. Oh,
three hundred and ninety four thousand dollars worth of jewelry stolen,
plus a few other things too, mostly silverware, things like that. Actually,
it was reported to me by one of the guests
on the yachts.
Speaker 4: These these pirates simply pulled alongside the middle of the night,
held them at gunpoint, took the stuff and left.
Speaker 2: That's right, I got it. There were two of them. My,
they must have been a horrid fellace. Just where off
the coast of Mexico did this happen? And I'm not
quite sure. Mister Baldiston Mozilla, well, he was kind of
vague about were it happy? He's kind of a vague.
Speaker 4: Maybe I better talk to him. Yes, by all means, Johney,
Yeah right.
Speaker 2: I'll see you later.
Speaker 4: I had them five fifty bucks to parse it on
a rental car. I drove to the Baldiston's home or
North Roxburg. It was a tremendous place and one of
the most wealthy parts of Beverly Hills. A snansy looking
sports car was parked in the broad driveway, and as
I walked up to the front door, another.
Speaker 2: Car, big sedan, pulled in the drive.
Speaker 4: A heavy set, well dressed, rather nice looking man of
about fifty got out of it and came over to me.
Are you looking for someone, young man?
Speaker 2: Well, I believe this is the Baldiston residence.
Speaker 4: That's right, and I'm Harry Baldiston.
Speaker 2: Oh well, my name is Dollar, mister Baliston.
Speaker 4: Johnny Dollar, the insurance investigator of mister Arthur sent Fort.
Speaker 2: That's right, sir, Well, come in, come in.
Speaker 4: We'll have a cocktailor too. I understand it's that time
of day, and I'm sure you won't object. Not of
good and I'll tell you all about the unfortunate affair
aboard the Baldero. Happened just night before astronaut, So I understand,
but I'm not quite clear as to just exactly where
you were when it happened, down off the Mexican coast. Dollar,
that's down down nice.
Speaker 2: Yes, it took us.
Speaker 4: Nearly twelve hours to get back to Balbo and eleven knots. Well,
you can figure it out yourself.
Speaker 2: Mary Lee. Yes, come on down, dear.
Speaker 4: I want you to meet mister Johnny Dollar. Now I'll
pour us a drink and tell you all about it.
Speaker 2: So he poured.
Speaker 4: His wife joined us, and we talked, But I'm afraid
I didn't learn much more than I already knew. They'd
both been asleep when it happened. The so called pirates
had come aboard very quietly, bothly.
Speaker 2: And their guests had been held in their.
Speaker 4: Respective cabins by one of the men while the other
gathered the loot. The men had worn long oil skin raincoats,
had nylon stockings pull over their faces to conceal their identities.
Speaker 2: Only one of the.
Speaker 4: Guests, Lee Wilway, had even seen the boat they'd used,
so never did tell me definitely where it happened.
Speaker 2: And the more I listened, the more suspicious I got. Yeah,
suspicious of him.
Speaker 4: Act two of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. In a moment,
there goes a treasure car, there goes another, and another,
and one of them may be your car. Yes, folks,
you may have a Fram treasure hunt filter in your
car worth a thousand dollars and not.
Speaker 2: Even know it.
Speaker 4: A Fram filter worth one thousand silver dollars. A filter
change is important to today's cars, so important that Fram Corporation,
in conjunction with its silver Anniversary is paying sixty thousand
dollars in cash to get you to check your filters now.
Last year, ten thousand secretly numbered Fram filters were distributed
all over the United States and installed in cars during
regular servicings. These filters are worth from one dollar to
one thousand dollars. You may have one in your car
and not even know it. A Fram filter worth one thousand.
Still check your oil filter and the air filter.
Speaker 2: Now. If there's a specially numbered Fram filter in your car,
you will win up to one thousand silver dollars and
your dealer will win the same amount. Get in on
Fram's big silver pressure hunt. Check your car filters now.
Speaker 4: Now act too of yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the
ball Durrel matter.
Speaker 2: Tell Dollar, it was hard to tell just where we were.
Speaker 4: I keep an engineer on board, and he'd been at
the wheel most of the day, but you were anchored
for the night.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 4: You see, we were just killing time until it was
time to head north to San Francisco. And that the
charity ball the lady wanted to go to.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the charity ball, and after waiting two months,
Now I suppose we just have to forget it. With
all off, jewelry gone.
Speaker 2: Didn't you check your position to find your way back
to Balboa?
Speaker 4: Just headed east then follow the shoreline.
Speaker 2: You say that one of your guests incidentally, I want
to check with them. Oh, by all means, I'll give
you that address.
Speaker 4: Yes, there may have been details that we've forgotten overlooked.
After all, we were a bit upset over what had happened,
and probably more than a little confused.
Speaker 2: Well, I know I was. You said that one of
your friends got to look at the boat these menus.
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, Lee Willwei ran up on deck. Of course
it was dark and there was some fog, but Lee
said it was.
Speaker 2: A black boat.
Speaker 4: Well, now you're a long black speedboat.
Speaker 3: Maybe by the time the rest of us got up
there and had completely disappeared.
Speaker 4: When I had Beacon start the diesels and we made
the run back to Balboa.
Speaker 2: You'll notified the coastguard, of course.
Speaker 4: Not until he got in what Well, Lee had been
fooling with the radio earlier. The rest of us were
in the main cabin playing cards, and well when we
tried to send out a call, the transmitter wouldn't work.
Speaker 2: Where I find this.
Speaker 3: Lee will Way Here I've written down the address for
you and our other guests too, mister and missus Hooper
and Richard Speidal.
Speaker 4: Thank you now, mister Dollar, mister Palleston, I'll see you lady.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: There was something very funny about this whole thing, but
I wasn't quite sure just what I checked with mister
missus Hooper, elderly, very quiet and dignified. Their story was
the same as the baldistants, except in one thing. They
weren't it all sure? It had taken them many twelve
hours to get back to Ports. I drove to the
address of Lee Wilway. It was a small apartment below Wilshire.
After all of Lee was the only one awake and
alert enough to have taken a good look at the
pirates in their boats. Yeah, and what about the yachts
radio that wouldn't work after Lee had spent.
Speaker 2: The evening fooling with it. Yeah, Oh, I beg well,
that is I'm looking for Lee Wilway Finley, Who are
you believe me? Charles of the Ritz would have been
proud of this one. A Levin doll twenty three or four.
She was tall, slim and a pretty face top with
red hair that looked oh so carefully this arrange. Yeah,
she was a beauty.
Speaker 4: And yet as we talked, I couldn't quite picture this
gal on a yachting trip with the Balistons.
Speaker 6: Gee, you No, I haven't the least idea where we
were when it happened, Johny. It could have been a
million miles out to see. But if Baldy, I mean
mister Baldiston says it took us twelve hours to get back,
it must have taken us twelve hours.
Speaker 4: And you're sure you didn't recognize either of the men
who boarded the Yachtlie, huh.
Speaker 6: I certainly didn't. But I saw the boat they had
was a long black one, solid black, solid black.
Speaker 2: Did anyone else on board see that boat?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: They, I don't think. So what did you do after
they left?
Speaker 6: Went up to the bridge to the radio.
Speaker 2: Didn't they tell you to call a coast guard?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Surely they said. You were at the radio earlier, Yeah.
Speaker 6: Just listening. But after it was over and I tried
to call the coastguard, well it just wouldn't work.
Speaker 4: Like another drink, Johnny, the Baldistons and Hoopers were playing
bridge earlier.
Speaker 6: Yes, look, Johnny, you yet.
Speaker 2: Were the other guests. Dickie boy, Yes, sick. And what
did he do after you were bored and robs?
Speaker 6: Uh? He was probably Donnie's cabin with his head under
the cover, scared the desk. He had any nerve he
could have stopped them too, What do you mean? Well,
his was the one cabin they didn't go into, They
didn't bother him, and he knew there was a rifle
they used for shooting sharks. You knew it was on
the rack just outside his door. And if he'd come
up shooting with it or those pirates would have jumped
overboard and run for home. I just bet they would.
Speaker 2: Apparently you don't think much of the stick spidle, would you.
Speaker 6: I mean acting like that, I mean doing nothing when
he could have accidentally.
Speaker 4: When I stopped at the Baldistons, I saw a sports
car outside.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, isn't it a dream boat? It's Larry's.
Speaker 2: Who's Larry, Larry Baldiston?
Speaker 6: He's my Oh gee, Johnny, I'm getting hungry. Why don't
we have another drink and then have some dinner.
Speaker 2: Sorry, I'm afraid of can't.
Speaker 6: I'm not used to being turned down.
Speaker 4: Well, I'm sorry, but there are a couple of people
I've got to see. Oh, like who your friend Dick
Spitle among others. Oh, I'll see you, ladily, I'll be here, Johnny.
I guess I'm not as familiar with the streets of
Los Angeles as I thought. It took me over a
half an hour to find Spidal's apartment.
Speaker 2: It was one of those ultra swank.
Speaker 4: Affairs, just off sweets of Avenue, below the famous sunset strip.
I parked under a big palm tree. Then as I
backed out of my car, another one roar it up
and stopped behind me, where the headlights partly blinded me.
Just a minute, you ah, Johnny Dollar, that's right, who
are you here? Act three of yours? Truly Johnny Dollar
in a moment, ever have trouble sleeping nights because of
acid indigestion, heartburn, nor gas, then remember, for acid indigestion,
nothing but Tom's work so fast to make you feel
so good. So long Toms work fast, get rid of
the burning excess acids that won't let you sleep. In
a matter of seconds, you begin to feel better, and
Tom's relief stays with you. You relax, go to sleep pleasantly
because toms bring complete relief, Get rid of burning excess
stomach acids completely. Nothing but Tom's work so fast to
make you feel so good, so long.
Speaker 2: So when acid indigestion keeps you awake, take Toms.
Speaker 4: Keep a handy roll of Tombs on the night table
within easy reach. And remember there's no mixing or fixing
with Toms. You don't even need to get out of bed.
Get the very best. Get Toms ten cents, three roll
pack a quarter, or get the new six roll pack
with free metal carrier only forty nine cents. Always carry Toms. Tums,
keep your tummy under Tom's control, and now act three
of yours, truly, Johnny Dollars. The headlights of my attacker's
car had partly blinded me, but I've seen enough of
it to know it was the same one i'd seen
at the home of mister Baldiston, Yeah, his son, Larry's.
But I came to to find myself far behind the
wheel of my own car, and lying on the seat
beside me were five CRISP hundred dollar bills and a note,
take this money and get out of town. It said,
you have no case anyway, because the things that were
stolen off the yacht have been returned, so you may
as well leave while you have your health no signature.
There was only one person in the world I wanted
to see at that moment, Larry Baliston. I felt a
bit rock since I was at the front door of
Dick's Spidal's apartment. Said I've really come to see him,
and if I was lucky, he might have a good
stiff drink heady feeling better.
Speaker 7: Now, mister dollar, Yeah, yeah, I am THI stick it's
Richard if you don't mind.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sure, but go on with what you were saying.
Speaker 7: Well, the whole thing was absurd, of course, but the
only reason missus Baliston insisted on taking Lee on that
yachting trip under the charity affair, and of course I
was supposed to be her escort, was to shame.
Speaker 2: Her to shore up. How do you mean? Well?
Speaker 7: After all, in spite of her beauty, she is a
rather common person, not the cheap. So Missus Balalaston hopes
that facing her the ladies and gentlemen who attend the
ball would embarrass him and she'd realize she has no place.
Speaker 2: Among people like ourselves. People like you were just too
good for her. Well, to put it, bluntly yes.
Speaker 7: In any event, missus Baliston hoped it would break off
this rather sordid romance. Romance she and Lawrence Balsden That Larry,
she calls him, and Lee is only after his money.
Speaker 2: But I take it Larry got wind of this little plan.
Speaker 7: Lawrence said that he would prevent its being carried out
if it is the last thing he ever did.
Speaker 2: So he stayed the piracy.
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm sure it was he. He's always done stilly
things like that, mister dollar rich headstrong, spoiled.
Speaker 2: As he is.
Speaker 7: So when I heard the noise up on deck, I
simply locked myself in my cabin and refused to budge.
When he and whoever he had helping him board the yacht.
Speaker 4: Or because you were scared, I thank your.
Speaker 2: Pardon, thanks a lot. It's rich.
Speaker 4: Ohincidentally, yes, you think Lee will Way was in on
it too, That that's why she spent so much time
on the ship's radio earlier.
Speaker 7: In the evening injupiively so that she could guide him
to the yacht and his speedboat. His speedboat, of course,
there's all sorts of radio.
Speaker 2: Equipment of bullet What color is that speedboat?
Speaker 7: Mahogany?
Speaker 4: We said the pirates were using a solid black boat,
which simply proved she was onto.
Speaker 7: His plan and the stupid the wench was lying, that's all.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're right. Thanks Dick, it's Richard.
Speaker 5: If you don't.
Speaker 2: Do come in, thank you. Miss.
Speaker 3: My husband's on the telephone talking to the engineer of
our yacht down in Balboa.
Speaker 2: And what do you think of that? I think I
can guess it's fine.
Speaker 4: Just stay on watch and I'll be back down there
to pick those things up in the morning. Goodbye, It's true, Mary.
Speaker 7: Be it's splendid.
Speaker 4: Whoever took them from us returned everything to the boat.
Everything is Oh, mister Dollar, did you hear that?
Speaker 2: Yes? I heard. Where is your son, Larry or Lawrence
or whatever you call him? Larry was a.
Speaker 4: Matter of fact.
Speaker 3: Dear boy came in just a little while ago.
Speaker 7: Where is he in the study?
Speaker 2: I believe he said he had a call.
Speaker 3: To make on the other phone.
Speaker 2: Thanks.
Speaker 3: Why what's rough, mister mister?
Speaker 2: Yes, I thought this was a window Lee trying to
make up to that guy Dollar. And let me tell
you this. Let me give you this, Clarry, Clarry, what
is it more? Larry? Well, if that's the.
Speaker 6: Way you feel about it, you and that family if
yours can?
Speaker 2: I said, do you want some more? Do you want
to start talking? Okay? Okay, I did it.
Speaker 5: I read the whole thing, Jimmy driscoll and I because
I was fed up with the way mother was trying
to run my life. Yeah, but maybe she was right
about Lee after all, of course she was costa. But
now look, Dolly, if you think you can get away
with barging in here and slugging me, yeah, why go more?
Speaker 2: Orry? Huh? You had enough? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Okay, don okay, Sorry, it has to ball this then,
But I kind of owed it to him dollar. I've
been hoping somebody do that for a long time. Sure,
I I've spoil him too.
Speaker 2: It's been my fault as much as his mother's.
Speaker 4: But I never had any idea you carry things as
far as you did. Of course, if you like, sir,
I could prefer soap charges versus a tack.
Speaker 2: On me earlier.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, I don't think it will be necessary.
Speaker 2: And how much obliged to you?
Speaker 4: Just leave him alone? Mary Lee? I suppose you leave
us alone while I settle things with mister dollars.
Speaker 2: He in this case, forget it.
Speaker 4: The five hundred that Larry mistaken they tried to bribe
me with, plus a nice fat check from mister Balderston.
Well once is the thought of it hurts me. Let's
forget the expense account too. Okay, okay, yours truly, Johnny Dollar.
Our star will return in just a moment. Now here's
our star. I'll tell you about next week story next week.
Oh wait a minute, related congratulations the station WGLS and
Beckley Westvitche on its twentieth anniversary.
Speaker 2: Next week, I really go fishing. Yeah for a body
in the middle of Lake ned join us, won't you?
Yours truly?
Speaker 4: Shanny Doller, Yours truly Johnny Dollars, starring Bob Bailey, originates
in Hollywood and has written, produced and directed by Jack Johnstone.
Heard in our cast were Virginia Greg eleanor Ugly, Vic Pern,
Howard mcneer, Larry Dobkin, will Wright, Carlton G.
Speaker 2: Young and Jack Edwards. Be sure to join us next.
Speaker 4: Week, same time and station or another exciting story of yours, truly,
Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 8: This is Dan Cubberly speaking.
Speaker 1: Welcome back. I think the one thing that I struggled
to buy on this episode is Johnny not understanding how
modern day pirates work. That just doesn't make sense for
someone who works in the insurance industry, particularly to the
degree that Johnny does. I think it may have been
to give a point of information to the audience, but
this feels like this would have worked better as narration.
Other than that, I found this a pretty enjoyable story.
Other than getting knocked down, this was a pretty a
case for Johnny. He got to not only solve the case,
but punch out an entitled, rich kid and get paid
handsomely for it. Also, this did seem like a much
bigger cast than we've been getting in recent weeks. It
does make me wonder if there might have been some
increase in budget tied to the sponsor ads that appeared
in this episode. And this really reflected a broader industry
shift as we moved away from shows having single sponsors
or maybe two sponsors, which NBC did a couple of
times with a few shows in the early fifties. Here
you've got multiple sponsors, each buying a spot, and this
was becoming the norm on television as well. And so
this reminds me a lot of the structure of programming
when I was watching television when I was a kid.
Although I do think one thing that Johnny Dollar would
do is it would often have two frequent commercial breaks,
but only a single break each time. I personally prefer
fewer breaks but a little bit longer. I will also
say the fram oil filter commercial was really interesting, and
I would be checking my oil filter if the contest
hadn't ended twenty plus years before I was born. But
any rate, We turn now to listener comments and feedback,
and we start over on Facebook, where regarding the episode
The Blue Madonna Matter, Joey Wright's great to hear from
the Great cat again and looking forward to more episodes
with him. Well, he's not in a lot of episodes,
but he comes by every now and again, and we'll
definitely have some interesting times ahead. And then over on Instagram,
we have a comment Janine, who rites on Instagram, I'm
one hundred percent old time radio commercials. Please keep leaving
the man, appreciate the feedback, and I hope you enjoyed
this week's episode. And then our listener writes over on YouTube,
haven't even paid attention. You are knocking on twenty thousand subscribers.
Way to go, and As of this recording, we're getting close.
We're nineteen thousand, three hundred and ninety one subscribers on YouTube,
which isn't a huge YouTube channel by any means, but
given that we spent so many years under ten thousand,
it's great to see where it is. And I appreciate
all the folks who are listening and subscribing over on
YouTube for all of their support. And now it's it's
time to go ahead and thank our Patreon supporter of
the day, and I want to thank Larry, Patreon supporter
since July twenty twenty three, currently supporting the podcast at
the shawmus level of four dollars or more per month.
Thanks so much for your support, Larry, and that will
do it for today. If you're enjoying the podcast, please
follow us using your favorite podcast software and be sure
to read and review the podcast wherever you download us from.
We'll be back in two weeks with another episode of
Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, but join us back here tomorrow
as we give way to the great adventurers of old
time radio and counterspy, where.
Speaker 4: I know some of us here paid a little more
for our houses than the rest of it. A larger
house or more land. But whatever you paid, I think
we're all agreed that it was too much for what
we got, no question about that. Now, our individual complaints
are pretty similar, green woe, good flooded sellers, crumbling foundations,
poor flashings, bad drainage.
Speaker 2: Well you know them as well as.
Speaker 4: I do, perhaps better Andy, perhaps, But the point is
the majority of them can be repaired at those expense. Yeah, yeah,
I don't want to sink any any more money into
my house. You won't have to, Tommy, at least I hope not.
Speaker 2: And who will, mister Gora.
Speaker 4: If we all stick together, mister Bradley, I think we
can make the open up real estate company bear the expense.
Speaker 2: What you've been drinking, Andy, No, I'm serious.
Speaker 4: And yeah, but that's all it is, mister Hobbs. The
real estate company has only one interest in these houses now.
It's not repairing them. It's collecting on the mortgage, right, Tommy,
And that's our weapon. We refuse to pay those mortgages.
What until steps are taken to remedy our complaints.
Speaker 2: What about foreclosure?
Speaker 4: Well that is a possibility, mister Bradley, and we should
face it.
Speaker 2: But if we all stick together.
Speaker 4: I doubt that mister Hobbs will foreclose on forty five
houses at once. It would certainly be bad publicity if
he did. Whether or not that will buy, I don't know,
but not getting his money will hope.
