What happens
Johnny Dollar, a freelance insurance investigator, is hunting for $400,000 stolen from a Buffalo store that was being carried by boat across Lake Erie. Storm conditions have kept the Coast Guard from acting, and his client, Mr. McNair, is angry that the money remains missing. Dollar suspects John Harker and his associates are holding the cash aboard McNair's yacht near the Canadian shore. Refusing to wait out the weather, Dollar hires a helicopter pilot, Tinker Barnum, to reach the vessel as the storm breaks. The episode follows his dangerous approach to the yacht as the criminals hold the advantage over him.

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.
