What happens
Johnny Dollar is called to the office of Lester Gratcher at Continental Insurance, where he learns of a valuable collection of Babylonian relics insured for twenty thousand dollars. The collection belongs to the eccentric Alvin Peabody Cartwright of Lakeview, Connecticut, who is nervous about its delivery to a Hartford museum. Johnny drives out to the house and meets Cartwright and his stepson Alfred Hocking, who will carry the sealed carton to the museum. The two set out together, and the trip takes an unexpected turn when their car crashes and one of the men wakes with no memory of who he is. Johnny is an insurance investigator working this case for the company.

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.
