What happens
Insurance investigator Johnny Dollar travels to Reno, Nevada, where Jodaya Gillis, chairman of the Continental Assurance Company, asks for his help. Felicity, a cat who inherited sixty thousand dollars from his late owner, Mrs. Hammermeyer, has survived attempts on his life, and Gillis is convinced someone wants him dead. Dollar visits the Hammermeyer house, where Mrs. Hawkins, Oscar Emmett, and Joyce Emmett are all connected to the cat's care and his money. The story of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar aired on CBS Radio on July 7, 1957, with Bob Bailey among its lead actors. Dollar begins questioning the household and looking into who stands to gain from the inheritance.

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.
