Transcript

From Hollywood. It's time now for... Any dollar. My name's Shirley Temple. Now who is it and what? B. Lee Vincent Price? Who I... No. But now tell me, Mr. Price. Now look, the name is Vincent.

Oh, OK, Vincent. What can I do for you? Johnny... A hundredth. You call that a little problem? This... Oh, I see. What's the insurance company? Four-state mutual. Oh, they have a small branch office right there in Los Angeles.

Yeah, I know. But... OK, Vincent. I'll grab the first plane. Bob Bailey. In the exciting adventures of a man with the action-packed Expense Account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator...

Yars truly... Johnny Dollar. And now, Act 1 of yours truly... Johnny Dollar. Expense Account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar. There's a four-state mutual insurance company home office, Hartford, Connecticut. Following us in the kind of expenses incurred during my investigation of the price of fame matter.

Expense Account Item 17850, 50-plane Farron Incidentallys, Hartford, Los Angeles. By the time the big silver constellation made its landing at the International Airport, it finally dawned on me that I hadn't arranged with Vincent Price about where and how and what time I'd meet him.

As I picked up my luggage, I discovered a hungry looking car on an autograph, Hans, running about the tall gracious man I was looking for. Sure, sure, sure, I'm glad to. Look for just one at a time, would you please?

I can't very well. All right, there you are. Now I have to meet a friend. Just one more, please. How much to Price? All right if you insist, here. Best wishes from T. Willie Rocking Loers.
