The Port-au-Prince Matter

From Hollywood, it's time now for Edmond O'Brien as... Johnny Dollar. Dr. Colby calling back Johnny. Oh yeah Frank, how am I? Oh you're falling behind. Oh, well where do I get then? That's not what I mean Frank.

It takes a long time to get the Haiti, and those plain seats aren't very comfortable at best. Edmond O'Brien, in another transcribed adventure of the man with the action-packed expense account, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, yours truly, Johnny Daller.

Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Daller to Home Office America Federated Life Insurance Company, Hartford, Connecticut. Attention Harvard Huntington, general manager. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my assignment in Porto Prince Haby.

Expense a gun item won $15 for a pair of tickets to Detective Story at the Hudson Theatre in New York, which I never got a chance to use since I was seated in the library of your Hartford home, promptly at curtain time.

A dollar? I want to thank you for coming out here. Sorry to break in your evening like this, but since I have, I'll get right to the point. Perhaps you've heard of the Gordon family here in Hartford?

Well, what I see on the society page is when I'm flipping back to the sports section, what I've noticed the name. Diamonds did it, aren't they? immensely wealthy, pillars of society, and surprisingly quite a proper family. That is all but one of the sons, Ralph, the heavy drinker, complete waste of ne'er-to-well.

Oh, a blot on the old escutcheon. Yes, continually getting into one scraper another. Now he's done it again. I take it that you're not worried about Ralph the man, but about Ralph the policy holder. Yeah, well, put it bluntly, yes. I don't think it's unethical for a company to protect its interests. In this case, the policy is in the amount of $150,000.
