The Broderick Matter - Ep 5

From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Dollar. Room 1302, this is the desk clerk. I have a call here. Never mind the call, you call the police. You call the police? Call the police and tell them to hurry.

There's an attempted suicide up here. Who is this? Shut up and do what I tell you. Not just a minute. He won't do any good. He won't do any good at all. Wait a minute.

You who cares? I'm going to jump anyhow! Tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly? Johnny Dollar.

Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location Los Angeles, California. To the East and Trust Insurance Company claims Division Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Broderick matter.

An old man in Hartford died and left $1,500 insurance money to a little girl who had been nice to him one afternoon back in 1943. My job? Get the money to her. Even if she might take it and jump off the 13th floor ledge of a building.

Don't. Don't come any closer. I'll jump. Lorraine. Don't come any closer. It's cold out there. Don't you think you should come inside? I'm gonna jump. Stay away now. Don't try to grab me. All right. All right. I'll do anything you say, Lorraine.

Okay. How do you do it? Taking off my coat. Standing out there must be cold. Here. You take my coat. Don't go. I'm not. I don't want your coat. All right, Lorraine. I never saw you before in my life.
