From Hollywood, it's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Daller. This is Mr. Lavery at Washington life. Are you available for an assignment? Yes, I am a slavery Fine, you'll have to go to New Mexico. Little town near Gallup. That's all right. What's the case?

We want to look into the death of a Merrill Kent. It was generally accepted that his death was the result of an accident He was buried day before yesterday On that same day, the police received information to the effect that he was murdered.

Bryan, in a transcribed adventure of the man with the action-packed expensive-out, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, yours truly...

Johnny Daller. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dallow to Home Office, Washingtonian Life Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Mero Kent matter. Expense account item $145, transportation via air, train and finally rented car from Hartford to Fort Scott, New Mexico, which is a small village where the law is attended by a deputy

sheriff named York. After I checked into a hotel, I met him in his cubbyhole of an office. I don't know what to think about the darn thing. Get everything all settled and then some blame fool riles it up again.
