The Charmona Matter

From Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Deller. Johnny, this is Byron Kay at Intercoastal Maritime in Life in Boston. Hello, bye. Remember Hurricane Audrey? Back in the line of part of June, sure. Must have hit your company pretty hard.

Yes, but if anybody ever needed help, it was those people down in Louisiana and neighboring states. Yeah. So we paid up the claims just as fast as they've come in. Except for one. Oh, what's that?

One we received only a couple of days ago. Okay, bye. Give me the dope and I'll head for Louisiana on the first plane. Wrong direction, Johnny. Huh? Texas? No. Oklahoma? Arkansas? Buffalo, New York. What?

And I think you'd better run over here and let me give you some facts. Yeah. Yeah, I think I'd better. Barb Bailey, in the exciting adventures of a man with the action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator.

Yes, truly. Johnny Dollar. And now, Act 1 of yours truly, Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts have been advised special investigator Johnny Dollar. To the intercoastal maritime and life insurance company, Boston, Massachusetts.

Following as the kind of expenses incurred during my investigation, the Charmona matter. Expense account item 1 1845, plain Fahrenheit, and it's hard for the Boston and the cab to Byron K's office in the little building.

Glad to see you, Johnny. Hi. I'm glad you can take this on for me. for me. Listen down. Okay, thanks. Ever here of Charles Francis Kealey? Uh, Kealey. A very much reformed man, Johnny, who was apparently making a valiant try to live down some of the things he did earlier in his life.

Why, go on. Well, he was a... I guess you'd call him a promoter, a stock manipulator, that sort of thing. The point is, he made himself a lot of money a few years back, until the authorities, the securities exchange commission and so forth, put a stop to his fancy dealing.
