I 70 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,079 don't often say this, mister Bellar, but in view the 71 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,439 amount involved, there will be no questioning any innecessary items 72 00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:27,839 on your expense account, no matter how high. Surely you 73 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:30,800 wouldn't think of missing any unnecessary expenditure. 74 00:05:30,879 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 4: Dream on, mister Waterbury. 75 00:05:34,439 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 3: Nothing you say that Scofield died today, yesterday afternoon? 76 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 5: Where that is home in Cranford, New Jersey?

Anybody keeping an eye on her? 79 00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 4: Yes, you're punder there at Scopfield's home. Obviously she's a 80 00:05:52,399 --> 00:05:55,480 very smart woman. You mean smart enough not to run. 81 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,040 I'd put it the other. 82 00:05:56,959 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 5: Way, mister Beller, smart enough to have made him name 83 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,600 in his policy and to stay. 84 00:06:01,439 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 4: Around to collect. You know anything about her, only that 85 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:07,600 she was a show girl before making this pretense of 86 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,480 being a nurse. 87 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, but if a doctor was willing to have her 88 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,920 take care of him, you know anything about him? Frankly, No, 89 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,240 then I have a sneaking suspicion I'd better pay him 90 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,600 a visit. 91 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:22,399 Speaker 6: I had him two four. 92 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 3: Dollars and fifteen cents for another taxi than a train 93 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,639 down to New York. At Grand Central, I ran up. 94 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,720 I had him three fifty bucks deposit on the drive 95 00:06:29,759 --> 00:06:32,680 your own car. I had him four fifty cents to 96 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,759 get through the tunnel to Jersey. In the city of Elizabeth, 97 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,560 I headed west and rob twenty eighth to the pretty 98 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,399 little town of Cranford, then. 99 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 4: Directly to the combination hallman office of. 100 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,399 Speaker 3: Doctor Lennon Foot, where I cooled my heels for a 101 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,879 half hour in the reception room. 102 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 4: Coming please, mister Dollar, I'm sorry they've had to keep 103 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:54,879 you waiting. 104 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,079 Speaker 3: Oh that's cut a right down here. But if little 105 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,720 Jimmy Sayer doesn't stop eating greenow, he's going to have 106 00:07:00,759 --> 00:07:03,759 worse than a tummy age. Your company called that you'd 107 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,040 be here because of the death of Jay Lamont Schofield. 108 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,680 Sit down, I'll be. 109 00:07:07,759 --> 00:07:08,360 Speaker 4: Very honest with you. 110 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 3: Doctor Is Insurance Company thinks your opinion of death from 111 00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:16,199 natural causes might be wrong. My tentative opinion, mister Dollar, 112 00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:20,160 Lamont Scofield suffered from well rather than boy with a 113 00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:21,360 lot of medical terminology. 114 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 4: Let's say he had a heart condition one that required 115 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,600 that he'd take it easy, and of course medication, what 116 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:27,560 kind of medication? 117 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 3: Digitalis for the most part, to limit the frequency of 118 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,480 his heart contractions. And more recently he's been receiving intervened 119 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,959 injections of sidyllanid. 120 00:07:36,839 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 4: His nurse gave him the injections. Yes, it's under my orders. 121 00:07:41,319 --> 00:07:46,000 I understand she's an old Burls queen. Some years ago 122 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,879 he starred Mary in one of his Broadway productions. It 123 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,120 was a flop. But shouldn't he have had a regular 124 00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:53,839 license registered nurse. 125 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,759 Speaker 3: She was a registered nurse, mister dollar. Is she still 126 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,439 a good looker? Of the years, Lamont kept himself pretty well, 127 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,399 surrounded by. 128 00:08:04,839 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: Well, some of them were very pretty. Girls were not 129 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:09,800 this merry, so I doubt they were all after his money, 130 00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:10,600 including Mary. 131 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:14,279 Speaker 3: Well, mister Dollar, I told you my tentative opinion was 132 00:08:14,399 --> 00:08:17,360 death due to natural cause, so the papers reported. And now, 133 00:08:17,439 --> 00:08:20,800 let's face it, doctor, if she hastened his demise by 134 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,199 saying overdose of one of those injections I learned, and 135 00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:27,560 while acting under your orders, by using something that you 136 00:08:27,759 --> 00:08:30,720 put into her hand, now justin could look pretty bad 137 00:08:30,839 --> 00:08:33,480 for you too, couldn't it. Are you trying to am 138 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,240 just stating imply that I might have conspired with that 139 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,519 girl to bring about the death of which is. 140 00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 4: Always a possibility, now, isn't it. 141 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 3: Well, are such tactics usually part of an investigation like this? 142 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,720 Why not if you were gilly, if I could get 143 00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:52,440 your riled up, catch you off your guard. 144 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,919 Speaker 4: I see, I don't like you, Dollar.

Would you like a towel, 155 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,279 mister Dollar, towel to wipe the egg off your face? 156 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 6: Act too of yours? Truly, Johnny Dollar? 157 00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 3: In a moment, Sometimes we may wonder why a football 158 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,480 team doesn't quit playing and walk off the field when 159 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,120 it finds itself fifty points behind with only a few 160 00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:56,039 minutes of play to go. 161 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,799 Speaker 4: What is that indomitable spirit that fills men with hope 162 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:02,559 and keeps them. 163 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 3: Going in spite of terrific art, keeps them going just 164 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,960 to play the game according to the rules. 165 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 4: Just to get the job done as well as they 166 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:11,720 know how. 167 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 3: This kind of spirit pervaded the feelings of heavy bomber 168 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,320 crews of the Ninth Air Force on that day of 169 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,919 Glory August first, nineteen forty three, the day of one 170 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,039 of the most secretly fanned surprised bombing missions of World 171 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,679 War II, the day of the low level attack on 172 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,600 the Romanian oil refineries at Floesti, more than one hundred 173 00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:40,240 seventy B twenty four heavily loaded bombers took off in 174 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,039 a swirl of red dust from Benghazi, Libya, to bomb 175 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,440 a highly defended priority target. The element of surprise in 176 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720 the low level attack was to be one of their 177 00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:56,279 greatest weapons, but things went wrong from the start. Three 178 00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:01,600 planes exploded during takeoff operations, eleven more aborted due to 179 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:06,279 engine trouble. Of those that reached the target area, less 180 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,200 than one third returned to home base. The leaders of 181 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:16,159 the mission encountered navigation difficulties and difficulty in identifying the 182 00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,440 specific target, and due to the loss of that elemental 183 00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:26,039 hope surprised.

The 370 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:18,119 Nautilus is a complicated network of advanced electronics, the operation 371 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,079 of which is dependent upon a team of highly trained, 372 00:21:21,279 --> 00:21:26,000 skilled navy men know their jobs and do them well. 373 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 4: Yes, times have changed, so has the man, and. 374 00:21:31,279 --> 00:21:34,319 Speaker 3: Now act free of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and the 375 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:41,680 nutious needle matter expense account out of four to three 376 00:21:41,799 --> 00:21:44,559 seventy for a monk called my own doctor back in Heartred, 377 00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:48,440 a man very much interested in criminal medicine. I asked 378 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,480 him about a couple of ideas I suddenly had for 379 00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:55,000 committing the so called perfect crime. I got some enlightening answers, 380 00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:58,279 then hung up and drove into the car in his office. 381 00:21:58,759 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 6: I told you over the phone, Dollar, we found nothing 382 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,039 to indicate this. 383 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 4: Excuse me, doctor Foot. 384 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,640 Speaker 3: You're a toxicologist who did the autopsy, Doctor Stanley, Yes. 385 00:22:06,799 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 4: Mister Dollar, and as doctor Food to listen, Kudla. 386 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,799 Speaker 3: Monsco Field possibly have died of an embo, of an 387 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,039 emboless in the brain. 388 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 4: Maybe Wall, Yes, I suppose. Can you find out by 389 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:21,839 further examination? Then go to it? What is this? Dollar? 390 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:22,839 Are you trying to play? 391 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:23,279 Speaker 3: Doctor? 392 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,799 Speaker 4: Now? I told you in the beginning, I don't like 393 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:37,920 your attacking. You are right, mister Dolla. An embolis in 394 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:38,400 the brain. 395 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:42,079 Speaker 6: What should have led you to sus? 396 00:22:42,279 --> 00:22:44,799 Speaker 3: All right now listen, I don't know where the equipment 397 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,079 is that Mary Smith used to give the medication to 398 00:22:47,279 --> 00:22:49,799 mister Scofield. I have it all here, Dollar, the remains 399 00:22:49,799 --> 00:22:52,759 of the bottle of cadillanid that I prescribed, the hypodermic 400 00:22:52,839 --> 00:22:55,319 with which he administered, all in this kit which needled 401 00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:57,759 at g us doctor foot. The small one, of course, 402 00:22:57,799 --> 00:23:00,240 he only received two ccs. One of these others, this 403 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,119 big one, simply part of a set. Only the smaller 404 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,240 one ever had anything in it. 405 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,039 Speaker 4: We checked. The others never contained anything more substantial than air. 406 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:15,880 That's right, air, mister, yes, doctor safety, forty fifty species 407 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:21,119 of air clean air injected into a vein. Yes, of 408 00:23:21,319 --> 00:23:23,160 course it would cause a nimbush. 409 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 3: And if you had to find traces, microscopic traces of 410 00:23:25,759 --> 00:23:28,240 the flesh of Lamont Scofield in that hypo that contained 411 00:23:28,279 --> 00:23:28,960 nothing but air. 412 00:23:29,079 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 4: Yes, yes, of course I'll go to work or it immediately. 413 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:36,039 Speaker 3: If he does find traces of dermal tissue on that needle, 414 00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:38,559 I can't believe it. 415 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 4: A case built on nothing but thin air. Yeah. 416 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 3: And the ironic part of it is the tip off 417 00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:57,319 came from Mary Tisse Smith. Yes, the microscope showed that 418 00:23:57,559 --> 00:24:01,920 needle had been used on Jay Lamon's schofield recently. Pretty 419 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,160 slim evidence, I know. But when Mary was faced with it, 420 00:24:05,599 --> 00:24:08,200 and I'm still not quite sure why. Maybe we scared, 421 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,400 but she broke down and confessed the murder. Yeah, She's 422 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,440 been wrong. Sometimes you can build a case on nothing 423 00:24:16,599 --> 00:24:23,480 but thin air. Expense account total sixty cents. Yours truly, 424 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:46,160 Johnny Dollar, Yours truly. 425 00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:47,279 Speaker 6: Johnny Dollar is coloring. 426 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,839 Speaker 3: Bob Bailey originates in Hollywood and is written, produced and 427 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,480 directed by Jack Johnstone. Heard in our cast where Virginia Gregg, 428 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,920 Margaret Robinson, Marvin Miller, and Junius Matthew Be shorted you 429 00:25:00,039 --> 00:25:02,680 and the next week, same time and station for another 430 00:25:02,839 --> 00:25:06,079 exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. 431 00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:07,519 Speaker 4: This is Roy Rowan. 432 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: Speaking Welcome back. 433 00:25:38,279 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 1: This episode shows Johnny's strengths and weaknesses as an investigator. 434 00:25:43,599 --> 00:25:48,599 His weakness, of course, is unnecessarily antagonizing so many people 435 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:53,759 with murder allegations without any evidence, just to see if 436 00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:56,839 he can get a reaction. His biggest strength is his 437 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,640 ability to draw inspiration from random statements to solve the case. 438 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:07,279 I think I would call the murderess's confession implausible, given 439 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,799 how cocky she was, but the show avoids having to 440 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,759 deal with that so much by following the old rule. 441 00:26:14,839 --> 00:26:18,279 If you can't make a scene plausible, just expositive. But 442 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,079 I don't know, maybe it wasn't so implausible. She did 443 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,759 every action when he got excited, and if she heard 444 00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:26,920 of him, I assume it was from the radio show 445 00:26:27,079 --> 00:26:29,839 and she was aware how this worked, and she was like, 446 00:26:30,519 --> 00:26:33,599 what random thing did I just say? That's going to 447 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,400 lead to my undoing, and then just kind of worried 448 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,799 about it and ended up putting herself in a state 449 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,519 of mind where she might confess as a criminal. You 450 00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,319 should say as little as possible to Johnny Doller, because 451 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,440 you don't know what little random thing is going to 452 00:26:52,599 --> 00:26:56,160 lead him to solve the case. I actually think this 453 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,720 episode reminded me of a writing exercise like I might 454 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:02,920 and in a writing group where you're told to do 455 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,279 something specifically with your writing that's a little bit odd, 456 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:10,160 like if you were told write a story where a 457 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,920 detective builds a murder case out of thin air. If 458 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,480 that's the case, Johnstone would have done an impressive job 459 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,039 and all the writers would have been quite happy with 460 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,160 the result in this story. I should note that this 461 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:29,599 episode marks the end of a very significant streak of 462 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,720 episodes with extant recordings. The next episode, The Limping Liability 463 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,920 Matter is Missing that aired on August thirty first, nineteen 464 00:27:41,039 --> 00:27:45,000 fifty eight. With the recent discoveries of the and I 465 00:27:45,079 --> 00:27:49,920 say relatively recent, it's been a good six or seven 466 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,920 years now, I think of the Fire and Paradise matter 467 00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:58,839 and the Froward Fisherman matter. The previous missing episode is 468 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,519 and I'm going to try to pronounce this harder since 469 00:28:02,559 --> 00:28:06,079 I have not even seen it, the win it Pesaki 470 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,240 Wonder Matter, which aired on August eighteenth, nineteen fifty seven. 471 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,640 So we had about a year without any lost episodes, 472 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,839 which is the longest amount of time without a lost episode. 473 00:28:18,319 --> 00:28:22,240 While the show was airing. Listener comments and feedback now 474 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,559 and we go over to YouTube where Ron has a comment, 475 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,200 and this is on our discussion of theme music. At 476 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,640 the end of the Wayward Killer matter a Ronsa Rites, 477 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:38,400 you mentioned that David Rose wrote a theme song using 478 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,799 a pseudonym. You mentioned he was a prolific songwriter for TV. 479 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,400 I did not hear you say that he pinned the 480 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,640 themes for Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie. 481 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 4: I did not. 482 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: I was just kind of addressing the question, but you 483 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,720 are certainly correct. I kind of stayed within the limits 484 00:28:58,759 --> 00:28:59,400 of the question. 485 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:00,799 Speaker 2: But you're right. 486 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:06,279 Speaker 1: Those were great theme tunes, probably the best known ones, 487 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:11,279 although I also have to appreciate Highway to Heaven that 488 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,799 had such a gorgeous theme and not only great for 489 00:29:16,039 --> 00:29:21,400 opening the show, but really accentuating some of the strong 490 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:26,720 emotional moments that were such a big part of that series. 491 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:32,559 And Rose was incredibly talented. Holiday for Strings might be 492 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,440 best remembered for being Red Skelton's theme song, but it's 493 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,640 a good, solid composition in its own rme. You can 494 00:29:40,759 --> 00:29:43,599 hear quite a bit of David Rose in old time radio. 495 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,680 Of course, he did do the music for Red Skelton's 496 00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,960 radio program, and you can also hear him on many 497 00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:56,400 episodes of Guest Star. But for my money, one of 498 00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,519 the most underrated old time radio music is actually a 499 00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:08,519 series called California Melodies, which featured the music of David Rose, 500 00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:13,160 and that was really the soul attraction of it, so 501 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,359 that gave him a lot of creative freedom. And if 502 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:21,759 you love Roses themes or great instrumental music, that series 503 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,240 is worth seeking out. California Melodies. But thank you so much, 504 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:31,559 appreciate the comment rits and definitely worth discussing.
