What happens
Johnny Dollar, an insurance investigator, travels to Santa Barbara to visit Rocky Rockwell, a wealthy and eccentric man living in a vast stone mansion. Rockwell has come to believe that Marvin Ashley, the son of a man he once wronged in England, intends to kill him. Johnny finds the household full of guests, many of whom Rockwell cannot name, and he spends the evening trying to identify the man behind the threat. The episode is part of the Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar series, first broadcast on CBS Radio on September 11, 1960, with Bob Bailey in the title role.
A large stone mansion on a wooded hill near Santa Barbara, California, with a fox hunt, a dinner party and a billiard room.
Characters: Johnny Dollar, Rocky Rockwell, Mr. Cartwright, Mr. Gibson, Sam Edwards, Stratton, Peterson, Marvin Ashley
Listen for: Johnny's careful questioning of the guests in the billiard room, and the slip of speech that gives one of them away.
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.
