Transcript

From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Dollar. Johnny, this is Jan. Yes, Jan. A minute ago after you left me here at my apartment, I got a phone call. Yeah. A threat. If I help you on this case, it'll be another accident.

Huh? Like me? Jan. To you, Ray. Stay right where you are. I'm on my way over. 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. To the Universal Adjustment Bureau Attention Patrick McCracken. Pat, I'm addressing this to you instead of to the Southwestern maritime insurance and liability because Southwestern's sole representative here in San Diego, California, Bert Parker died yesterday in the hospital, presumably of an accident.

But I don't believe it. I think it's because he knew too much about this case. The Jelly Roger Frog. Item 6270, cab-faren tip from my hotel to the little apartment of Jan Penny, who had been Bert Parker's secretary before he was killed.

Who is it? Johnny Dollar, you all right? I mean, Johnny, quick. Oh, I'm scared. He's in. Who was it threatened you over the phone? Did you recognize the voice? Yes. Well, who was it? I don't know.

Huh? It was the same voice that called Bert at the office and warned him before he was run down by that car killed. But you don't know who it was. No, Johnny, I'm so scared.

Please hold me. All right. I don't mean that sounds like a dream. It's okay, Jan. It's okay. You just take it easy. Here we are. Come on, here. Sit down. Here. Have a cigarette. I'm sorry, Johnny. I guess it's just been too much for a gal.
