Transcript

From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Dollar. Is your name Teddy Davis? Who is it? Swazzly? My name is Johnny Dollar, I'm in her apartment. What? Hey, what? Now listen to me, I'm an insurance investigator, and I've been a couple of murders here.

Murders? In Elisa's apartment? She's gonna need you and all the help she can get to bring her out of it, mostly you. I've called homicide and they're on their way and I might be pretty rough for her.

I'll be right over. Tonight and every weekday night, Bob Bailey and the transcribed adventures, The man with the action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, Yost truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense account submitted by Special Investigator, Johnny Dollar, to the Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hartford, Connecticut.

It was obvious from Potter's test that Mrs. Wendover could not have fired the 45, which ended the lives of Philiantobe.
