Johnny Deller. Harry McQueen, Meda Eastern Endowment Inc. Now I'm glad you call Harry. What? I just been waiting for a chance to run down to New York, has some fun taking a few shows and some nightlife and expensive kind of course.

Yeah, yeah. Now look, well pay the expensive kind, but not for a lot of theaters and nightclubs. Spoils for it. Johnny, can you come down here right away? Sure. Good. What's the trouble Harry? Dan Diamond.

Dan Diamond. That's right. Well, nice talking to you. Now what's that mean? It means I suddenly think I have an important assignment in Produnka, Timbuktu. You mean you're afraid to get involved with a friend, Mr. Diamond?

Ah, Johnny. It's just that I relish the thought of maybe living to a happy middle-age, is all. Don't you remember what happened on that bank job over in Amityville? Oh, I remember. Not only a banker, but a police officer and the investigator from the insurance company.

All of them suddenly turned their loving wives into widows. I know. Diamond. So he's still in business, huh? Well, apparently not. And I use that word advisedly. He's retired from this point. Yeah. On the door from that Amityville job.

That is when he's out there. Oh, where is he now? Right here in New York City. And he just happens to have lifted some $75,000 remover. Then lock him up and throw the key away.

I'm afraid it's not that easy. What's more, we want that $75,000 back. Sorry, Harry. OK, Harry. Maybe I'll run on down there and see it. CBS Radio brings you Bob Bailey.

In the exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Oh, it's truly... Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar. To the Mid-Eastern indemnity corporation, New York City.
