The Silver Belle Matter (AFRTS)

From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar George Reed here. Well, hi George. Haven't heard from you a long time You and everybody else Della and then any clause, huh? Right who's insured names Mercedes Crabtree?

Trampery Nobody woman lives out in Montana. Uh-huh and how long's the policy been in effect almost 30 years? And you're crying because you have to pay it off. Well, that's it Johnny. We aren't sure what?

A few days ago somebody took a shot at it. Yeah? 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, now yours truly, Johnny Dollar, expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, you Floyd's of England, American branch office, Hartford, Connecticut.

Following his account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the Silver Bell matter. Spell B-E-L-L-E. Expense account item 185 cents, taxi, from my apartment at George Reed's office. He was on his feet waiting for me. His suit looked like he'd slept in it.

Close the door, Johnny. Yeah, sure. Johnny, I'm not going to mince words with you. This one's important. Not only to me, but to Floyd. Ah! How come? Because Mrs. Crabtree was one of our first American clients.

And because Murdoch Morton sold her that policy. Why not? Morton who'd add? My goodness, Johnny. Mr. Morton's the president of our company. You should know that by now. Oh, yeah, I suppose I should. Yes.

Well, at the time, Mr. Morton sold her the policy, and Mrs. Crabtree became very close friend. And where was Mr. Crabtree while all this was going on? He'd been killed in an accident in his mind six months before.
