The Hartford Alliance Matter

The Hallmark Playhouse, which is heard during most of the year at this time on Thursdays, has nearly finished its summer vacation. Be with us when Hallmark Playhouse returns to CBS, four weeks from tonight, on September 7th.

Now from Hollywood, it's time for Edmund O'Brien as... Johnny Daller. I'm glad you're in, Daller. This is you. I hope it doesn't have to be tonight. I'm ready to bang. I'm afraid it does have to be tonight.

Does Inspector Fonio, does he suspect Arson? More than that, they picked up the man who said it. That policy is for over $300,000. Okay, Bart, now meet you there. Edmund O'Brien, and another adventure of the man with the action-packed expense account.

America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours truly Johnny Dollar. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to Home Office, Cosmopolitan, All-Risk Insurance Company. The following is an accounting of my expenditures during investigation of the Hartford Alliance matter.

Expense account item 1, 250 cab fare from my apartment to the scene of the fire. We have the chemical holes right over here, Woodruff, Darnit, Captain! Right over here, Barton! Hey, Barton!

Against that place I couldn't see over here. Idaho's way. Hey, that building was a bad risk. Is there any steel in it? Yeah, maybe a little in the plumbing, but at snowwurst in this neighborhood, somebody's got to ensure them.

Who owns it? His name is Clarence Pickett. I don't know too much about him. I understand the blaze started there in the ground floor corner office. Yeah, that's right. The Hartford Alliance long company. An off duty policeman saw it start as he was driving by and then grabbed this kid as he was heading it down the alley.
