What happens
Johnny Dollar, a freelance insurance investigator for Greater Southwest Insurance, receives an urgent call from Helen Dana, an elderly policyholder who fears for her life because of unnamed people she wants to tell him about. He flies from New York to Los Angeles and drives up the coast to Morro Bay, where he finds Miss Dana's home. A woman claiming to be her sister says Helen is at the market, but a grocery manager insists she has not left the house in weeks. Johnny's search takes a troubling turn when he discovers Helen bound in her chair inside the house. The episode is part of the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on May 31, 1959, starring Bob Bailey.

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.
