What happens
Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigator, is called to Beverly Hills by Arthur of Western Maritime and Property Insurance, who reports that jewelry was taken from the yacht Baldero in what he calls piracy. Dollar meets the yacht's owner, Harry Balderson, and his wife Mary Lee, then speaks with the other guests, including Lee Wilway and the Hoopers. Their accounts of the night raid, the missing radio contact and the timing of the return to port do not quite agree, and Dollar begins to doubt the story he has been told. The episode is from the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on March 15, 1959, with Bob Bailey in the lead role.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
