From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar Mr. Dollar Oh I'm representing the insurance company Wells carried a $50,000 policy payable to his widow What about the autopsy any results Yes on the advice of her family doctor What do you mean?

Well he thought she was suffering from temporary hysteria. He was only trying to calm her. He didn't think she'd really fly back to Hartford and stir up a mess like this. I see. Her father's sudden death must have been caught a shock to her.

It may have caused her to imagine things. Things like murder? Maybe. It's possible anyway. I think I'll wait for the results of that autopsy, Mr. Lancer. I'll keep in touch. Tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures of the man with action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator.

Y'all's truly Johnny Dollar. From special investigator Johnny Dollar to the home office, Northwestern Surety company Hartford, Connecticut. Assignment, the lonely hearts matter. Location, Chicago, Illinois. Expense account continued. Item six, $2.10 for a late lunch at my hotel.

Maybe it was nothing more than just hysterical suspicion. And she'd admitted herself that she was furred in jealous when he married Mabel Burke. Sudden death could still be natural death. And yet, all I could do at the moment was wait for the results of that autopsy.
