The Mickey Mc Queen Matter

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

Now from Hollywood, it's time for Edmund O'Brien as... Johnny Dollar. Mick. Oh, Mickie, I tried a phone a couple of times, I never reached you. I'm not a lot these days, Johnny. Hey, I heard about your protection of Sergeant Mickie, I'm nice going.

You really sound worried, Mickey? What is it? Sure, Mickey. I'll be here anytime you want to come up. 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. An expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, to whom it may concern, Hartford Police Headquarters, Hartford, Connecticut. I don't expect you to honor this statement, But since the report to my regular employers going on these forms, the following is an accounting of my expenditures during my personal investigation of the Mickey McQueen matter.

It's been my privilege to have worked a number of cases with Mickey McQueen here in Hertford. Through the years, a friendship developed between us. So when he phoned Tuesday nights to say he wanted to talk to me, I was glad to ask him over.

But when it got to be 1.30 in the morning and he still hadn't arrived, I wasn't so glad. I'm sorry I'm late Johnny. What held you up? I was about to drop off. I had to take care.

You're a lunivore Mickey. What about your beat? My beat. My beat won't miss me. After 20 years of walking it from Dr. Dawn checking its doors and passing the time of night that its people dropping so fast.
