What happens
Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigator, is called to Sarasota, Florida, after his friend Earl Porman seems to have disappeared. Earl has phoned in a frantic state, and Johnny learns the wealthy chemical-company heiress Linda Hanson has been found dead in her home, apparently poisoned. Her husband Frank Hanson, a man many believe married her for her money, is missing. Johnny works through the household and the chemical plant, looking for who had access to the rare drug that killed her. The story is part of the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar radio series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on March 27, 1960, with Bob Bailey in the title 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.
