Transcript

From Hollywood, it's time now for Johnny dollar Oh, yes, sir got your message. I was just about to call you back mr. Scottman I think so say in an hour that would be excellent. What's it about mr. Scottman David purling?

I understand he was killed in a voting accident a couple of days ago read something about it in the papers Much Alive. 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 Eastern liability and trust company Hartford Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the purling matter. Mr. Scantman, you're a pretty good guy and I'll say this right at the top since you were the one who called me in.

You're reading about the pruning matter in your newspaper right now. But they haven't got the story right. None of them will ever have it quite right. Just remember that as you go through your newspaper and this report, Mr. Scottman.

You look pretty worried when I met you that afternoon, about five o'clock, and you led me into the top drawer offices of Eastern liability and trust. I tagged you as a meticulous sort of man who knew when his laundry was coming back.

I wasn't a bit surprised to learn that you were Vice President and Chairman of the Board. Why don't you sit down there, Mr. Dollar. It's the best chair in place. Thanks. Is it good? No, I have these. Thanks.

Lighter, right there, to right. Thanks. Yes, Mrs. Carmen. You can run along for tonight, Evelyn. No more to do. Thank you, sir. Good night. Good night, Evelyn. I understand you've handled several matters for our company, Mr. Dollar.
