Pearl Carrasa

From Hollywood, it's time now for Edmund O'Brien as... Johnny Dollar, what's the rush? That private eye? Why don't you go to the police to find your killers? Edmund O'Brien, in another transcribed adventure of the man with the action-packed expense account.

America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator... Yo, it's truly Johnny Dollar. Expense account, submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to Home Office Piedmont Mutual Life Insurance Company. Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my search for the beneficiary of policy holder Pearl Carrasse, expense account item one, 450 mileage.

Hartford to Singsing Prison, last place of residence of the girls convicted murderer, Marty Pruitt. He was sitting in his cell playing solitaire. Hey, what time is it? About 11, Marty. And now or more. How much you say the policy was for?

$5,000. That's funny. Just what I got paid for the job. Who'd she leave it to, the old lady? Yeah. I knew she would. You know where I can find the beneficiary? The beneficiary. You didn't know the beneficiary, did you?

I've had the pleasure. If you'd known her, you wouldn't be looking for her. Mrs. Carrasse's virtues are none of my business, Marty. The company is $5,000, and I've got to help him get rid of it.

What good are you doing yourself by not telling me where she is, if you know? What time is it now? A little after eleven. Boy did that money look good. You know all the things you can do at $5,000?

Just go back home. I was going to get married. I wasn't going to get married. I'd have put it in roulette like all them other times. You never did say who hired you? No, that's right. I never did.
