What happens
Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigator, is called in when Eric Turnbull dies in Stanford, Connecticut, after receiving bones from an ancient Egyptian tomb that his nephew Donald Cronin sent him. Dollar's friend Dr. Leonard St. Clair, a toxicologist, examines the body and suspects poison rather than a curse. Dollar questions Dorothy Hartness and her brother Walter about the life insurance policies and the museum that stands to benefit from Donald's death. The episode is part of the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar radio series, originally broadcast on CBS Radio on September 7, 1956, 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.
