From Hollywood, it's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Daller. This is Bruce Hardwick, Mr Daller. Do you remember me? I think I do you're with the Corinthian life and liability, aren't you? That's right. We have some work for you if you're on busy. I'm not shoot good New York office got a call from the police this morning

They had investigated some trouble on the East side and found one of our policies at the scene and wanted to find out what the company knew about the man it covered which was very little. What kind of trouble was it? Nobody seems to know all the signs of murder I understand, but nobody. Will you go down and see what you can make of it?

Edmond O'Brien, in another adventure of the man with the action-packed expense account. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Your truly Johnny Daller. Expense accounts submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Daller to home office, currently in life and liability insurance company, Hartford, Connecticut.

The following is an accounting of expenditure during my investigation of the Richard's Blaine method. Expense account item 1, $35 trip from Hartford to the scene of the crime. A part of Manhattan where the citizens have been conditioned to sleeping through screams, gunshot and even the odors.
