From Hollywood it's time now for Bob Bailey as Johnny Deller Fred Wilkins at Northeastern Fidelity Johnny. Oh, hi Fred. I got a case for you Remember the Alvin Summers embezzlement sure he took off with 75,000 bucks about six months ago, right?

We held a bond on him, so we're stuck with it So this morning a guy called from a little town on the west coast of Mexico Santo Tomás was a bad connection But I gathered he had some information on summers and wanted somebody to go down there and talk to him I nominated you. Then he's expecting me. What's his name?

I don't know. Well how do I contact him and send it to us? I'm afraid I don't know that either. You mean I'm supposed to go looking for somebody whose name I don't even know?

How come he's so coy? I don't think it's a case of being coy. The conversation, the connection was broken off at his end. Okay friend, I'm on my way. Tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures of Command with the action-packed expense account.

America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar. To the home office, northeastern fidelity and bonding, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Alvin Summers' matter.

Item 1, $220, playing train and boat fare to Santa Thomas, Mexico. For a town trying to be a resort, Santa Thomas shouldn't be so hard to get to. The last lap was by far the worst, a creaky twice a week boat from Musseland.

And I may be wrong, but it looked to me like the only outfit interested in making a resort out of Santa Tomas was the big new hotel up on a cliff overlooking the sea, the Playa del Mar.
