What happens
Insurance investigator Johnny Dollar looks into the Sunny Dream Home for the Aged after its owner, Frank Skinner, calls him about a run of deaths among the residents. Over six months, several elderly guests have died in accidents such as a fire, food poisoning, and falls down the stairs or from a window. Dollar visits the home, questions Frank and his wife Martha, and speaks with Walter, their son, while noting that the residents named the Skinners as beneficiaries of their insurance. The episode is part of the long-running Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar radio series, first aired on CBS Radio on December 1, 1957, with Bob Bailey in the title role.

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.
