The Two Faced Matter

Hollywood, it's time now for... Johnny Dollar. Oh, hi, Nick, how's with you? Good and bad, Johnny, good and bad. Well, I'm sure it's nothing good you've called me about. What's the problem? Lost, later stolen.

Is that what I didn't know? That sounds like a gag. Nick, I think I better. The exciting adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account.

America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, Doris Curly. Johnny Dollar. The Johnny Dollar. French account submitted by special investigator Johnny Darling. To the Northeastern Fidelity and Bonding Company Home Office, I predict Connecticut.

Following its account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the two face matters. Expense account item one after shaving, showering and dying the most punitive clothes I could find. Item one, a dollar ten, taxi to Nick Weldon's office of Northeastern Fidelity and Bonding.

Just remember what I told you Johnny. The old Lang Zion furniture company is run by a bunch of characters. Yeah, that's what it affries me. That's why I came over here. Oh, they're craftsmen, all right. They old school.

They take them a couple of years to make an ordinary straight-back chair. But when it's done, it's the most beautiful thing you ever saw. And the finish they get on the pieces they turn out.

Beautiful. An expensive tune. Oh, sure, but worth it. Any piece of furniture they make will last the hundred, five hundred years. Well, apparently somebody wasn't too honest with them. So tell me all, Nick. Tell me, it seems one of their length.

You mentioned 58,000 bucks. You have to be exact answer. Nothing. Well, why not? I told you the places run by a flock are real characters. Oh, brother, they must be. What did this happen? Sometime within the past three and a half years.
