 From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny dollar Inspector Harakir of the Zurich police. Hi inspector. Where are you downstairs in the lobby of the inn? I came up from Zurich to see if that picture postcard I sent you was of help in locating the stolen diamonds afraid not inspector I located the shallow on the postcard all right It's sort of a shelter for skiers up on a ridge Well when I got there the place have been turned upside down if the diamonds were hidden there somebody sure beat me to it I see so it looks like we're at a dead end What do you mean? Recall it. I've still got the lumps to prove it. What about him? I'll be right down inspector And every week day night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator yours truly Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by special investigator Johnny dollar to the home office global casualty in Hartford, Connecticut assignment the picture postcard matter location Clibach Switzerland Expense account continued Item 970 cents one pot of coffee for inspector Hanager and myself at the Clibach Inn Most perplexing case here dollar a skillfully timed robbery of the uncut diamonds at the Zurich Airport last week and then these puzzling postcards Supposedly giving the location of the diamonds. Yeah, they've got to be the key inspector if we can only figure them out Look, we know now that Sebastian was in on the robbery and was trying to negotiate security for the return of the stone Yeah, and he told you before he was murdered that the postcard He gave you was a part of the key to the location of the diamonds That's right It was signed by a man named Gruner and according to Ilse Schaefer Gruner was a friend of Sebastian's Her description of Gruner matches one of the men in the robbery at the airport. What of this young lady Ilse Schaefer? What do you make of her? Well, that's a good question inspector, right? I wish I knew the answer. I Hope she's in the clear. Hope. Oh, I see. All right. So I'm not She is a very attractive young lady But there is also the chance that she is involved that she killed Sebastian I know I know she could be involved or she could be innocent. It's a 50-50 proposition. I guess I hear money and take your choice More coffee inspector, please Thank you What is her story? Well, I finally got her to admit she didn't share my cabin Zurich and leave her personate just by coincidence It was Sebastian's idea to make it look like she'd pass something along to me But why would Sebastian wish to make it appear that you had the diamonds if he was trying to negotiate with you for their return? That does not make sense Actually, I think it does inspector. It could go together this way After the robbery the gang split up who knew was to hide the diamonds then get word to Sebastian as to their location of this much We are fairly certain. Okay. Okay, but now Sebastian gets the bright idea of double crossing his buddies He gets in touch with the insurance company I represent and they send me to Zurich to negotiate with him I still do not in the meantime though another outfit has moved into the picture and is trying to grab the stones from Sebastian and his boys Yeah Yeah, that would explain many things sure sure one That's why he rigged that deal with Ilson my taxi cab to make it look to the other outfit like I had the stones That would take them off his neck for a while Yeah, he was playing me for a patsy But I've got to admit it was a pretty fair scheme then later Sebastian contacts you and gives you the first post card He tells you it is part of the key to the location of the diamonds, right? But Sebastian didn't move fast enough. So we wound up dead but His confederate Gruner sent him a second card. I'll probably mail before Sebastian was killed. It is possible Now the first post card is a picture of this Clibach in yeah, and according to water the innkeeper It's not the best picture of the end. I asked him about Gruner He said he thought he'd heard the name somewhere, but that Gruner hadn't been a guest here Perhaps he is down in the village well I'm gonna check that today, but if the diamonds are in the village why the post card of the in and Why the second post card of the ski hut on the ridge I do not know Is there anybody here at the inn that you suspect of being an accomplice of Gruner and Sebastian? Ilsa Schaefer for one she claims Sebastian told her he'd meet her here in a few days for some ski. I see Anyone else an Englishman named Jeffrey Harris. He seems pretty interested in me Claims he thought I was a friend of his from London He might be telling the truth. Yeah. Yeah, he might be but I found out he likes to climb mountains And he was up there somewhere this morning when Ilsa and I were skiing and got shot at Do you think Freyland Schaefer could have maneuvered you into that position? Well, if she did she had a lot of confidence in the marksmanship of her buddy in the rocks and you told me she Suggested a route of escape which ended suddenly at a cliff which I almost went off of Yeah, yeah inspector. I hate to say it, but she could be the one and I've got to find out one way or the other Which means I'm gonna stick pretty close to her for the time being I gather that prospect is not entirely unpleasant to you But be careful here dollar. She could be dangerous So could Jeffrey Harris on my way to the ski hut this afternoon I spotted him down the mountain from me and the ski hut had been torn apart. Yeah, it's the diamonds were there. They're going now Harris could be the boy who beat me to them if he or anybody Attempts to leave Clibach one of my men at the railroad station will be reported well, I Must be getting back to Zurich here dollar who knows Perhaps these postcards are just decoys and the stones are still in Zurich. No No, I bet my bottom dollar they're here in Clibach somewhere if I could only figure out the meaning of those postcards. Yeah Otherwise why would the man who attacked you in Zurich have come here? I must be hiding out in the village somewhere. Well, perhaps I can turn up something else of help in Zurich right now inspector Anything would be of help. Believe me after inspector Hanukkah left. I studied the postcards again, but I got no One of the end the other the ski What do they mean? I Went out on the balcony outside my room and looked up at the mountains But I couldn't see the ski hut there a ridge was in the way. I Did see something else though three rooms down the balcony Jeffrey Harris's French doors were open his room was empty So I decided to have a look. I Wasn't sure just what I was looking for Something anything that would indicate whether or not Harris was involved in the whole thing. I Worked my way to the closet turning up one big nothing His clothes were hung neatly in place and in one corner was stacked some climbing gear I reached around behind it and my hand touched metal. I pulled it into view a Rifle with a telescopic sight. I sniffed at the barrel The gun had been fired recently Hello, Otto. Look, have you seen Jeffrey Harris lately the Englishman or since late afternoon all day long He was out climbing the mountain. Yeah, I know he no sooner got back Then he went out again before dinner and it was a good dinner tonight, too. Any idea where he went Could be in the village Look, tell me something when he arrived here at your end. Did he have a gun case in his luggage? He had a lot of climbing equipment, but I did not notice a gun case I mean he could have taken it apart and packed it in his suitcase. Why do you ask her doll? Hmm. Oh skipping. I'll see you later, Otto Johnny, oh Hello, Elsa. I've been looking for you. Yeah Have you been able to find out who are shooting at us up on the ridge this morning?

Look, let's let's talk about it later I'm why not now. I have to go into the village. Perhaps I could go with you Johnny. Do you mind?

Yeah It is quiet to You seem to to be looking for something Johnny for someone Elsa Who the Englishman Jeffrey Harris? You told me you'd never seen him before you came here to Kleibach. That is right Then he wasn't a friend of Sebastian's not as far as I know Well an hour ago and Harris's room I found a rifle with a telescopic sight You mean that Harris is the one who shot at you this morning auto the innkeeper told me Harris went mountain climbing today I saw him on his way down late this afternoon, but he isn't at the end now You think he's down here in the village. Maybe that's why What's the matter hold it? I'll say Well, well looks like maybe the village isn't so quiet after all what do you mean?

He was at the entrance I pressed back into the doorway a few more feet Wait a minute He decided not to bite I Edged out of the doorway and back to the mouth of the alley then I stuck my head around the corner Nobody he must have ducked into a building or down the street It sounded like Ilson for the next street I cut through the alley Then I spotted a couple of people in front of a small hotel down the street. They were jabbering excitedly There was a man crumbled up on the ground Ilse saw me and ran over What's the matter Ilson? He fell out of the upstairs window almost in front of who is it?
