What happens
Johnny Dollar, a freelance insurance investigator, is hired by Peter Fillmore of Surety Mutual in Denver to look into a string of grocery store robberies that always occur on Saturday nights. Dollar realizes the holdups follow the order of the company's largest accounts across Colorado's towns. The series is Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, and this episode aired on CBS Radio on March 20, 1960, starring Bob Bailey. Dollar picks a target town by flipping a coin, then drives west toward Grand Junction. Along the way he is run off the road and wakes in a hospital, where he begins to piece together who is behind the robberies.

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.
