What happens
Johnny Dollar travels to Kingman, Arizona, after prospector Jerry Bisbee is acquitted in 1952 of murdering his partner Ralph Garrett, whose widow insists Bisbee killed him. Jake Kessler, an insurance colleague, explains the case, and a windstorm later exposes a skeleton in the desert that a local doctor, Bob Blessing, links to Garrett through a surgical plate. Johnny searches for the missing Bisbee through the Bureau of Mines and a chartered flight to Nevada, tracking him toward Virginia City. The episode is part of the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on May 29, 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.
