What happens
Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigator for the Western Identity Company, is sent to the Barnwell and Barnwell plant on the coast to look into a series of deaths. Dr. Joseph Barnwell and Dr. Ralph Barnwell are developing a rescue capsule for returning from space, and two key men have already died under the policies Johnny's company insures. Johnny meets with Dr. Barnwell at the test site, where the capsule has just been pulled from the water and a third man is found dead inside it. The episode is part of the CBS Radio series Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, which first aired on June 19, 1960, starring Bob Bailey.

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.
