What happens
Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigator for the Hartford firm, is sent to the town of Bethel, New York, to meet Orson Terwilliger, a retired executive who wants to change his large life insurance policy. When Johnny arrives he finds Terwilliger dead in his car after it has skidded off a narrow hillside road. Johnny works with local doctor and police chief to examine the scene and begins to doubt that the death was an accident. This episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, from the CBS Radio series first broadcast on July 3, 1960, is starring Bob Bailey, with Edmond O'Brien, John Lund and Charles Russell also in the lead cast, and it presents Johnny's inquiry as he questions the circumstances of the death.

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.
