From Hollywood. It's time now for... Johnny Deller. The faces are loaded and there's nobody out. What? And your pigeon, Johnny Boy. Bert McGraw. Yep. Right as Rubeck. What's in your mind, Bert? You and a job you didn't finish.

A job I didn't... What are you talking about? The Mason Dixon matter, remember? For sure. Ruth Dixon's body was found on Newport Beach. But you didn't find out who killed it, Johnny. I figured that was a job for the police.

Anyway. Oh. Yeah. Ruth Dixon was insured with our company. For how much? $1,000. $1,000? You don't expect me to go back to Newport for the commission? I'll make all that to you. No, you foot the bill.

Oh, how come? Yes. Yeah. Now. Oh, Bob Bailey. In the exciting adventures of a man with the action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly? Johnny Dollar. And now Act 1 of Yours truly Johnny Dollar.

Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny to the providential assurance company 393 Dewey Avenue Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Dixon murder matter. Expense account out of $1.20 tax from my apartment to the providential building.

Along the way I did some thinking. A week ago a girl's body had been found on Newport Beach. The masons and the Dixons had each identified it as the body of their missing daughter. I Managed to locate the Mason girl that meant that Ruth Dixon was the girl on the beach Who had killed Ruth?

Well, I didn't figure that was my job But evidently the branch of providential did why? Well, I hope Bert McGraw would tell me. Oh Johnny come in. Come here. Hey morning Bert How about this fiction matter?
