The Willard South Matter

It's time now for Edwin O'Brien as... Johnny Dallin. Luke Crager, Mr. Dallin. Yello, what's up? They found the boat a few miles off the Atlantic side of St. Croix. Oh? She was empty. Neither one of them aboard?

No. From what I understand, it looks like there was trouble, all right? A land. Blood stains. I guess signs of a struggle. The engine had run until it was out of gas. That's yours, the boat, huh?

Yeah, they must be. Oh, that's sure. It's registered to Willet South. Well, they won't have it in for the police, Doc. I'll meet you there if you want. Good, Lou. I'll see you in about 20 minutes.

Edmond O'Brien, and the transcribed 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 great Eastern insurance company, Hartford, Connecticut.

the company, Hartford, Connecticut. The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the Willard South, Madam. Expense account item, 143 dollars and 80 cents, airfare and incidentals between Hartford and the city of Charlotte, Amelie, island of St. Thomas, Virgin Island Group.

I arrived there two days after the disappearance of your policy holders, Willard South and his wife, Georgina, and one day after the report had been made She was too upset to be questioned, but I did find a local guide and boat owner who claimed to know the boating habits of Willard South through a number of fishing trips.

I made arrangements with him to start my own search the next morning, but it was this guy, Luke Craiger, who phoned that second evening to tell me that South Scruser had been found empty. Over here!
