It's a small company, 66 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,759 but an old one. When I flashed my credentials to 67 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,079 the receptionist, I was immediately shown into the office of 68 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,439 the high end money himself.

Thanks, mister Berkeley. 70 00:04:41,079 --> 00:04:43,800 I'll get straight to the point, sir, we've suffered a 71 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,879 considerable lots. Yeah, so I understand from hell spial at 72 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,199 Eastern Liability and Trust. Ten thousand dollars, wasn't it? Yes, 73 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,480 maybe ten thousand dollars, But I don't recall mentioning the 74 00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:56,879 amount of mister spidel. In any event, mister Dollar, what 75 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,879 I want is that money back. I don't care what 76 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,759 you do with the beat, all right? Have you any 77 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,240 idea who took it? Mister Berkeley? I certainly have a 78 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,319 young great boosir, one of our bookkeepers, a gentleman who 79 00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:12,839 had been with the company over thirty years. Hey, what 80 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,879 are you smiling about, miss Dollar? Well, he's stolen this 81 00:05:15,959 --> 00:05:18,040 money from you, But you still call him a gentleman 82 00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:22,000 because I always thought he was. Did his job, never complain, 83 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,879 that's your measure of a gentleman. Hey, what's that? How 84 00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:29,279 much money did he earn, mister Berkeley? Sixty sixty five 85 00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:32,759 dollars a week? What difference does it make? Just wondered 86 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000 an old man living alone, there's plenty for him, unless, 87 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,759 of course, he was gambling something like that. Gambling him 88 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,439 of course, not never had enough money. Trouble at home? 89 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,519 Maybe is he married. No, never be able to support 90 00:05:45,519 --> 00:05:49,279 a wife after thirty years with your company. I paid 91 00:05:49,319 --> 00:05:51,879 him as much as I thought he was worth. Yeah, 92 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,959 or as little as you thought you could get away 93 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,959 with it. That is really no concern to yours. Return 94 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,160 of the money is all right. Where does he live, 95 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:01,839 mister Berkeley, in a small apartment on the north side 96 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,920 of town. I why did you ask see him yesterday? 97 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,959 Yesterday morning? Said he had to see his doctor in 98 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,720 the afternoon. Yes, it's against my usual practice, but I 99 00:06:10,959 --> 00:06:14,480 let him off. But of course you decided the doc 100 00:06:14,639 --> 00:06:18,040 his pay. Naturally, I have to keep discipline in a 101 00:06:18,079 --> 00:06:21,199 place like this. Oh sure. In this morning, when I 102 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,920 opened the safe, I discovered that the money was missing 103 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:28,319 nine thousand, nine hundred and eighty four seventy five the 104 00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:32,000 case that we had on hand for emergencies. I also 105 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,720 discovered that he hadn't come to the office, so I 106 00:06:34,759 --> 00:06:39,000 phoned his apartment and I learned that our respected gentleman 107 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,759 bookkeeper left town yesterday afternoon, bag and baggage. That doesn't 108 00:06:43,759 --> 00:06:46,399 necessarily mean that he took the money. I'd like to 109 00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:48,600 know why not, or was he the only one who 110 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,959 had access to the safe? Of course, not all of 111 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,319 the bookkeepers have how many of them? Others? I made three? 112 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,040 But you think for one minute they'd dared take that 113 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,160 money and then come back here and face me. Maybe 114 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,800 you got a point there. What have you notified the 115 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,639 police of this loss? No, I prefer that the whole 116 00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:08,959 thing be kept as quiet as possible for the sake 117 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,279 of my company's reputation. Please remember that, sir, whatever you're saying, 118 00:07:13,319 --> 00:07:16,759 mister Berkeley, that's why I have no desire to prosecute him, 119 00:07:16,839 --> 00:07:20,439 why I refuse to even file charges as long as 120 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,079 I get the money back. Yeah. Now, what's his address? 121 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:27,600 Eleven thirty one North Maple Street. But as I told you, 122 00:07:27,639 --> 00:07:29,800 he isn't there. He's left town. Yeah, you told me 123 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,079 how hold him? Man? Is he in his sixties? But 124 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:36,839 what difference does that make? Oh and mister dollar, Yeah, 125 00:07:37,199 --> 00:07:39,680 just how did you happen to know about this so soon? 126 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:42,720 I mean the amount that was stolen from somebody who 127 00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:45,319 called me on the phone, somebody who apparently knew a 128 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,040 good deal about it. If I can locate him, get 129 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,800 in touch with him, he can probably be a lot 130 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,759 of help and running down this come to think of it, 131 00:07:53,839 --> 00:07:57,160 you have I'm doing what his name is the bookkeeper Nambler, Yeah, 132 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:15,120 Barons her, Yes, Harley barn Act two of yours, truly 133 00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:20,199 Johnny Dollar in a moment, and now Act two of yours, 134 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:29,079 truly Johnny Dollar and the Hollywood mystery matter.

Now? 186 00:11:02,759 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 4: Well, now you got me there. 187 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Yeah, that you picked up, mister, I said, No, 188 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:15,080 I guess yeah. It's addressed to her Jenny, my dear, 189 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,879 the doctor you had me see has finally told me 190 00:11:18,919 --> 00:11:23,519 the truth. Is this his handwriting? Eh? That is all right, 191 00:11:23,639 --> 00:11:27,399 it's finally told me the truth. I have less than 192 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,440 a week to live, and so, for the first time 193 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360 in my life, except for some happy moments with you, 194 00:11:34,279 --> 00:11:37,200 I'm going to really live make up for some of 195 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,559 the things I've had to miss all these years. Say. Yes, 196 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,279 you may have some idea where I've gone, but please, please, dear, 197 00:11:45,399 --> 00:11:50,440 don't try to follow me. You are loving Holly. Yeah, 198 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,720 like I said, that's what she ran off of the 199 00:11:52,759 --> 00:11:55,240 taxi I had. Oh you want me to call you 200 00:11:55,279 --> 00:12:05,919 a taxi, mister, I sure do, Brother and fast Item 201 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,200 four seven fifty for a trip to the airport that 202 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,240 should have got the cabby locked up for life. We 203 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,600 ran every stoplight along the way. So what happened? I 204 00:12:13,639 --> 00:12:15,919 got there just in time to see a plane taking off, 205 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,360 and the man at the ticket counter politely informed me 206 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,039 that Virginia Lockhart was among the passengers headed for New 207 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,240 York and where would she go from there? Hollywood, I'd 208 00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:26,879 bet my last nickel on it. Yeah, and she could 209 00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,440 lead me to the man I was after I checked 210 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,200 the schedules of all the airlines leaving New York. If 211 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,919 I took the next plane out of Hartford, I could 212 00:12:33,919 --> 00:12:35,399 barely make a flight out of New York to the 213 00:12:35,399 --> 00:12:42,600 West Coast. In other words, Hollywood item five for a 214 00:12:42,639 --> 00:12:45,039 through ticket. When we arrived in New York, where I 215 00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:47,039 had only seconds to change planes, I was the first 216 00:12:47,039 --> 00:12:49,399 one off, and then I saw she was boarding a 217 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,159 plane from another ramp. By breaking a couple of records 218 00:12:52,159 --> 00:12:53,799 for the one hundred yard dash and pulling my way 219 00:12:53,799 --> 00:12:55,759 through the gate, I managed to climb aboard just as 220 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,200 the doors were being closed. A quick flash at my 221 00:12:58,279 --> 00:13:00,559 credentials kept the stewardess and throwing me often. In a 222 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:01,840 couple of minutes, we were airborne. 223 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 5: Now I guess we'd better make some arrangement about your ticket, sir. 224 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 2: Eh tickets, yes, sir, oh no here, I already have 225 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,559 any Hey, oh thank you. 226 00:13:15,799 --> 00:13:16,279 Speaker 1: I'll just. 227 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:18,759 Speaker 3: Mister Dollar. 228 00:13:18,879 --> 00:13:22,639 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm sorry, but this ticket is for Los Angeles. 229 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:23,919 Speaker 2: Sure, sure, that's where I'm going. 230 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,039 Speaker 5: Well, not on this plane. I'm afraid this is a 231 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,720 non stop flight to Miami. What yes, sir, Miami. 232 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: Florida, Act three of yours, truly Johnny Dollar. In a moment, no, 233 00:13:43,279 --> 00:13:46,559 Act three of yours, truly Johnny Dollar and the Hollywood 234 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:54,559 mystery matter. Wait a minute, this plane is headed for Florida. 235 00:13:53,879 --> 00:13:56,279 Speaker 5: Yes, sir, non stop flight to Miami. 236 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,399 Speaker 2: But I thought this was Look, I got to get 237 00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,840 to Los Angeles to Hollywood. 238 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,919 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, mister Dollard. 239 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,039 Speaker 2: Oh not half as sorry as I am. So what 240 00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:05,799 do I do now? 241 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,279 Speaker 4: I'm afraid there isn't much you can do. 242 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 5: So why don't you go up in the cabin where 243 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,440 there's one extra seat and well, I'll just relax and 244 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:15,159 enjoy it. 245 00:14:16,279 --> 00:14:24,639 Speaker 2: Okay, Miss Great. I've been so sure it was Virginia Lockhart. 246 00:14:24,679 --> 00:14:27,240 I'd seen climb aboard this plane, that she'd leave me 247 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:30,080 to her uncle in Hollywood do wherever he was in Hollywood? 248 00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,360 So what happened. I was stuck aboard a plane to Miami, 249 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,080 all right. I took the advice of the stewardess and 250 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,679 walked forward into the cabin to find a seat, And 251 00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:41,759 for once, luck was with me. The one vacant seat 252 00:14:41,759 --> 00:14:44,799 in that whole plane was right next to Yeah, you 253 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:49,759 guessed it to Jenny Lockhart. But why Miami? Could she 254 00:14:49,919 --> 00:14:52,519 possibly know that I was on the trail of Parley Barn? 255 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,000 Was this a trick to leave me office trail? I 256 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,039 decided there was only one thing to do. Play it 257 00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,679 like I hadn't the least idea in the world who 258 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,159 she was, And at the tay same time, see if 259 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:08,960 I could learn anything from her. As uh, as long 260 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,360 as we're uh seat mates on this trip, we may 261 00:15:11,399 --> 00:15:16,039 as well know each other. My name's Johnny, Uh Johnny Dollar. Ms. 262 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:17,919 Speaker 4: Uh how do you do, mister Dollar? 263 00:15:18,879 --> 00:15:21,159 Speaker 2: Be uh kind of nice to get on down south 264 00:15:21,159 --> 00:15:23,159 and away from all of snow and cold on it? 265 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,399 Would would you like some champagne? I I understand. All 266 00:15:30,399 --> 00:15:32,679 I have to do is flag down the stewardess. She'll 267 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,039 be uh how about it? 268 00:15:36,919 --> 00:15:38,639 Speaker 6: Uh no, thank you? 269 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 2: Uh well, uh excuse me for saying so, But you 270 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:44,399 look worried about something. 271 00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:47,559 Speaker 4: I'm sure it wouldn't interest you. 272 00:15:48,399 --> 00:15:52,639 Speaker 2: Oh no, maybe not, but uh, you know, sometimes it 273 00:15:52,679 --> 00:15:54,960 does a lot of good to cry on somebody's shoulder. 274 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,679 And since we'll probably never see each other again after 275 00:15:57,679 --> 00:16:01,279 this trip, and well, I I have a broad shoulders. 276 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,600 Speaker 6: Thank you. But it's not necessary. 277 00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 2: Oh sorry, I don't mean it going down to Florida 278 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:13,879 for a vacation. 279 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:21,559 Speaker 6: No, I'm going to Florida to try to save somebody's life. Oh, 280 00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:23,559 but I'd rather not talk about it. 281 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,159 Speaker 2: And she didn't. How did she talk about anything else 282 00:16:29,279 --> 00:16:32,320 during the rest of the flight. As we came into Miami, 283 00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:34,480 I decided the only thing I could do was transfer 284 00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:36,519 to a plane for Los Angeles and hope for the best. 285 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,240 But she was my only real lead to Parley Baron, 286 00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:42,919 and if I left her here, I went on to Hollywood. 287 00:16:43,639 --> 00:16:46,120 So I changed my mind. I decided to stay with her. 288 00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:48,679 I had them six nine dollars even for a taxi 289 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,200 that followed hers out of Miami Airport, then headed north. 290 00:16:51,639 --> 00:16:57,240 And why do we end up Hollywood? Hollywood, Florida, Hollywood 291 00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:01,320 by the Sea and the Diplomat Hotel. I watched her 292 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,519 make inquiries at the desk heard the clerk teller room 293 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,720 seven sixteen. I managed to get an elevator before she did, 294 00:17:06,799 --> 00:17:08,440 and by the time she reached the door of seven 295 00:17:08,559 --> 00:17:10,759 sixteen and raised her hand and knock, I was standing 296 00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:11,960 right beside her. 297 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 6: Mister Johnny, does. 298 00:17:14,759 --> 00:17:15,880 Speaker 4: What are you doing here? 299 00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:20,039 Speaker 2: I've been following you, Jenny What to find your uncle 300 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:22,920 Parley Baron, who stole ten thousand dollars in the company 301 00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:27,240 was working for He what?

But don't you see you. 315 00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:05,759 Speaker 2: The more I've thought about it, I thought about that 316 00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,519 crummy penny pinching outfit that he worked for for thirty 317 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,079 miserable years. The more I hated this assignment, hated the 318 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,359 thought of having to deprive that poor old man of 319 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,400 this one last chance to get some fun out of life. 320 00:18:19,799 --> 00:18:21,960 Because all I know about him is that he's a 321 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:23,880 decent sword who's been taking advantage of him. 322 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,759 Speaker 6: He's a wonderful man, and he's been a good man 323 00:18:26,799 --> 00:18:27,559 all his life. 324 00:18:27,599 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 2: Jenny, don't you see unless I get him return the 325 00:18:30,279 --> 00:18:32,240 ten thousand dollars to his friend, Johnny. 326 00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 6: Listen, he can't have spent ten thousand dollars and I'll 327 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:40,359 make up the rest.

And because of something else, Johnny. The 341 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,279 reason why I was looking for him, what do you 342 00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,880 mean the new doctor. I'd had him go to a 343 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,599 couple of weeks ago, my doctor. He gave him a 344 00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:33,240 lot of tests. Then Uncle went back to see him 345 00:19:33,319 --> 00:19:36,400 yesterday afternoon. It was to find out the result of 346 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,480 the tests, and the doctor told him wrong. The lab 347 00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:40,799 reports had got mixed up. 348 00:19:41,839 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 2: You mean that he isn't going to die? 349 00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:48,519 Speaker 6: No, And the doctor tried to call him but couldn't 350 00:19:48,519 --> 00:19:51,200 reach him, so he called me. That's why I went 351 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,720 to his apartment, but he'd left, so I came down 352 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:57,039 here to try to find him. I tried to tell you, Johnny, 353 00:19:57,039 --> 00:20:02,400 because well, don't you see he's gonna be all right. 354 00:20:03,319 --> 00:20:05,759 Speaker 2: Well, and Jenny, I guess that leads only one more 355 00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:11,119 thing to be done. What Johnny tell him the good news? 356 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:17,039 Speaker 3: Oh? 357 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'm just a sucker for a 358 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:24,000 good looking girl, and maybe this makes me an accessory 359 00:20:24,039 --> 00:20:27,440 to the crime. But you know something, and you can 360 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,400 blame it on the holiday season anything you like. I 361 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:35,920 don't care expense account total, including the trip back to Hartford.

Yours Truly Johnny Dollar, starring Bob Bailey, originates 368 00:21:18,079 --> 00:21:22,160 in Hollywood and has written, produced, and directed by Jack Johnstone. 369 00:21:22,519 --> 00:21:26,000 Heard in our cast were Virginia Greg Geene Tatum, Harley Bear, 370 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,160 Boris Lewis, Junius Matthews, and Frank Gerstool. Be sure to 371 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,440 join us next week, same time and station for another 372 00:21:33,519 --> 00:21:37,400 exciting story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. This is Dan 373 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:43,119 Cubberly speaking. Gun Smoke rises today on the CBS Radio. 374 00:21:42,839 --> 00:21:54,519 Speaker 1: Network, Welcome Back. Jack Johnstone wrote many scraps for Johnny Doller, 375 00:21:55,359 --> 00:22:02,079 but a scrap with a sentimental storyline that's key mystery 376 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,720 involves the fact that there is a Hollywood, Florida is 377 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,440 probably the most Jack Johnstone script idea ever. There's a 378 00:22:12,519 --> 00:22:15,400 lot I can say about this one. First of all, 379 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:19,240 I do have to give it to poorly Baron that 380 00:22:19,519 --> 00:22:24,079 it was clever to send Johnny on a false trail. 381 00:22:24,279 --> 00:22:27,480 But you know what would have been even more clever 382 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,920 not giving a clue at all, because here's the thing, 383 00:22:32,599 --> 00:22:38,279 this is a middle aged, downtrodden bookkeeper, not the Riddler. 384 00:22:38,559 --> 00:22:42,920 You don't have to call and give riddles and clues 385 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,440 about your location. Also, this is the second episode with 386 00:22:47,599 --> 00:22:53,519 a character named Poorly Baron. There's the Poorly Baron matter 387 00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:57,359 from nineteen fifty seven, which was episode four four nine 388 00:22:57,519 --> 00:23:01,640 five for us, And in addition to the one of 389 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,680 the lost episodes from nineteen fifty eight was the Perilous 390 00:23:06,839 --> 00:23:13,799 Parley matter, featuring a separate character named Parley. Although that 391 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,119 does seem like there might have been some confusion, as 392 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,759 according to the notes in John Abbott's book Who Is 393 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:24,359 Johnny Dollar Matter? Johnny at first thought it might have 394 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,960 been a reference to a Parley at a racetrack, and 395 00:23:29,039 --> 00:23:32,359 someone did ask a while back when I kept referencing 396 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,400 John Abbott for those and thought he might have been 397 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,000 an actor of some sort. Well, not as far as 398 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:43,359 I know. John Abbott is a radio historian who has 399 00:23:43,559 --> 00:23:47,519 done a lot of work on yours truly, Johnny Dollar, 400 00:23:47,759 --> 00:23:53,039 and in particular Life of Bob Bailey, also Charles Russell, 401 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,519 and coming up with some great resources and information. Mister 402 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,519 Abbot's books books, The Who is Johnny Dollar matter. Are 403 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:09,039 reference books that I did refer to quite frequently regarding 404 00:24:09,079 --> 00:24:15,000 this series, and he actually went to at the time 405 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,799 the scripts were at the Thousand Oaks Library. He went 406 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,839 through all of those scripts and wrote down the plot 407 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:27,000 details and captured them so we can actually find out 408 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,400 what happened in the lost episodes, at least those that 409 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,920 were from Hollywood. I will also say that the powers 410 00:24:35,079 --> 00:24:40,640 of an insurance investigator were really quite amazing. Yeah, if 411 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,880 you're just an ordinary policeman and you show up and 412 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,440 you say I'd like to search this room, I'll be like, 413 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:51,480 you have a warrant. Uh, well no, then I can't 414 00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:54,160 let you in. But however, you come in as an 415 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,440 insurance investigator and you show them that credential, They're like, oh, sure, 416 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,920 go ahead, search room. You're an insurance investigator. And that 417 00:25:04,039 --> 00:25:08,119 means that, yeah, you can just search anything. And you 418 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:12,680 can even board a plane. All right, you don't have 419 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,119 a ticket for this plane and you're on board. I'm 420 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:21,039 an insurance investigator. Well that changes everything. One point of 421 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,880 curiosity in this episode, and it kind of cuts off here, 422 00:25:27,839 --> 00:25:31,799 is that there's a reference to an article in the 423 00:25:32,079 --> 00:25:37,720 February nineteen fifty nine issue of Harper's Bazaarre. It's a 424 00:25:37,799 --> 00:25:42,000 little unclear what that story that's set in Hollywood, Florida 425 00:25:42,039 --> 00:25:45,480 is about, whether it's time to Johnny Dollar or not. 426 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:51,000 I was able to find a scan of the table 427 00:25:51,079 --> 00:25:55,720 of contents of that particular issue of Harper's Bizarre. And 428 00:25:56,039 --> 00:25:59,240 one thing to remember with magazines of all sorts back 429 00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:03,960 then is they did actually publish fiction, and Harper's Bazaar 430 00:26:04,279 --> 00:26:07,200 was no different. There's a lot of fashion stuff, but 431 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,319 there were around five different stories in there. Now none 432 00:26:11,319 --> 00:26:15,759 of those actually scream Johnny Dollar or mystery to me. 433 00:26:16,319 --> 00:26:19,400 But I really do want to find out what was 434 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,480 in that magazine, and I've got resources to go through. 435 00:26:23,559 --> 00:26:27,920 I decide I'm going to record this commentary first. I 436 00:26:28,039 --> 00:26:31,039 might even be able to find it at my local library. 437 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,720 Looks like the Harper's Bazaar should be on pro sources, 438 00:26:35,599 --> 00:26:39,240 but if not, I will go down other avenues and 439 00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:42,640 hopefully I'll report back to you on what was the 440 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:46,680 big deal in that magazine. Listener comments and feedback now, 441 00:26:46,799 --> 00:26:50,519 and we have some comments on Facebook regarding the Double 442 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:55,079 Trouble matter, and this is from Gigi who writes love 443 00:26:55,160 --> 00:27:00,279 those Sergeant Donald Bellweather auto safety commercials. I wondered for 444 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:03,839 a long time who the actor was before I recognized 445 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,680 him as her vigrant. Do you have any info on 446 00:27:08,799 --> 00:27:13,880 these PSAs? And specifically, she wants to know who played 447 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,200 the wife in them. The PSAs were put out by 448 00:27:17,319 --> 00:27:23,400 the National Safety Council. I am horrible at identifying voices 449 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,119 until I really get them down straight, and I think 450 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:31,880 that can be doubly true for female voices. I did 451 00:27:32,079 --> 00:27:36,400 actually find an old thread discussing this on the Old 452 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:45,200 Time Radio Researchers Facebook group, and one person stated that 453 00:27:45,279 --> 00:27:50,640 the Lilian Biaf was the wife, and honestly, I think 454 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,200 that does sound about the quality of her voice, but 455 00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,079 I am open to other interpretations. And then Joey Wright's 456 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,359 Thursday morning, while driving to work, I listened to Johnny 457 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,759 Dollar and I was thinking it was Friday FLORTI instead 458 00:28:05,799 --> 00:28:09,440 of Thursday. Adam, you are messing with my routine. Well, 459 00:28:09,559 --> 00:28:12,200 I am so sorry. There was a little bit of 460 00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:17,119 a mistake where both Johnny Dollar and Dragnet released the 461 00:28:17,279 --> 00:28:20,799 same day, So so sorry for that little mix up. 462 00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:24,839 Appreciate your comment and your support, Joey. Then we turned 463 00:28:24,839 --> 00:28:29,079 to Spotify, where Peter Wrights I was surprised to see 464 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,839 that Rhode Island still has the lowest driver fatality rate 465 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:37,200 in the country. I was a little surprised by that too, 466 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,519 because I'd watched a lot of well not a lot, 467 00:28:40,599 --> 00:28:44,319 but quite a few clips of that show that was 468 00:28:44,359 --> 00:28:50,599 on Caught in Providence, which was in essentially a traffic court, 469 00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,319 and it seemed like there were a lot of cases, 470 00:28:53,359 --> 00:28:56,279 although when I thought about it further, those seemed to 471 00:28:56,319 --> 00:29:00,799 deal more with parking rather than moving violation. I've never 472 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,240 been to Rhode Island myself, so that was all I 473 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:05,960 had to go off of. Then we turned to the 474 00:29:06,119 --> 00:29:10,400 site called x with a comment on the Gruesome Spectacles matter. 475 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:16,640 Jonathan said, this police chief was not a credible professional. 476 00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:20,720 To be fair to Johnny Dollar, they were he wasn't 477 00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:25,400 really trying to capture the idea of the professional lawman, 478 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,240 and there are quite a few episodes of Johnny Dollar 479 00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:36,960 where what they portray is not a professional lawman, somebody 480 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:42,799 who kind of does police work on the side, and 481 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,000 that would happen and may still happen today and very 482 00:29:48,039 --> 00:29:55,039 thinly populated bow crime areas. Everybody agrees law and order 483 00:29:55,519 --> 00:30:00,400 is important, but you don't get enough crime, and you 484 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:05,119 don't have enough people to support a full time police force. 485 00:30:05,359 --> 00:30:10,240 So you have one person or two people who in 486 00:30:10,279 --> 00:30:13,519 the event of a crime or some sort of public 487 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:18,200 safety emergency where a sheriff or police would be called for, 488 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,559 would they would be willing to fill in. And so 489 00:30:23,119 --> 00:30:29,839 these policemen could in theory be a little less professional 490 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,599 because it's not their full time profession and not the 491 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:37,240 way they relate to the world most of the time. 492 00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:42,039 And Johnny Doller that the series loves to include those 493 00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:45,960 sort of characters, so I wouldn't consider it a black 494 00:30:46,119 --> 00:30:49,039 mark against the series. It goes to the type of 495 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:53,440 person that's being portrayed. Now, I don't know for certain 496 00:30:53,759 --> 00:31:00,400 how common these sort of arrangements were in nineteen fifty 497 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,759 eight or fifty nine, or whether, as Johnstone sometimes did, 498 00:31:04,839 --> 00:31:09,200 he was taking things that he experienced in his youth 499 00:31:09,359 --> 00:31:11,880 and writing about them as if they were current even 500 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,920 though they weren't. All right, well, now it's time to 501 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,240 thank our Patreon supporter of the day, and I want 502 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:21,359 to thank John Patreon supporter since September twenty fifteen, currently 503 00:31:21,359 --> 00:31:25,400 supporting the podcast at the Shawmus level of four dollars 504 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,960 or more per month.
