What happens
Johnny Dollar is hired by George Reed, an English insurance man, to help his identical twin brother Adam, who runs a small brokerage office in New Jersey. Adam, once convicted for a stock swindle with two partners, Shockley and Baron, is being blackmailed by Shockley, who threatens to expose his past and then kill him in a way that would make it look like suicide. The story follows the investigation as the threat escalates and the dangers close in on the brothers. This 1959 episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar, broadcast on CBS Radio, stars 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.
