What happens
Insurance investigator Johnny Dollar returns to the swamp country near Kennet, Missouri, at the request of Charles Kingsley St. Clair, a company man who now wants to stay in the region. Murders have struck relatives of the company's clients there, and St. Clair asks Dollar to look into them, though Dollar is reluctant to meddle in a matter that falls outside the law's reach. Dollar drives into the swamp to find Cass Dingle, who was thought dead and now lives with Yufa Crump. Once there, Dollar is captured by the Wupperman brothers, moonshiners who blame him for their brother Dade's imprisonment. Series: Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. Original air date: April 17, 1960, on CBS Radio. Starring Bob Bailey, with Edmond O'Brien, John Lund and Charles Russell in the cast.

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.
