What happens
Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigator, is called to a secret nuclear facility where Dr. Paulus Rayburn reports that a container of highly radioactive material has been stolen by Dr. Igor Rallinoff, a scientist recently hired there. The material could trigger a deadly chain reaction within hours, so Dollar is given a detector and Rallinoff's address and friends' names to track him down. Dollar's search is complicated by a traffic accident and a damaged detector. This episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar aired on CBS Radio on January 24, 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.
