What happens

Insurance investigator Johnny Dollar investigates a claim filed by Dora Haskell following the deaths of her two brothers in a cave-in at the Midas Touch Mine. Johnny uncovers evidence suggesting murder rather than accident, and traces a killer's car to the Two Lazy Two Ranch where the truth about the scheme begins to unravel.

Listen for: A tense confrontation at the ranch house where accusations fly between the foreman and the widow, followed by a desperate chase across Lake Mojave in rough waters.

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.
