 From Hollywood it's time now for Edmund O'Brien as Johnny dollars. Oh good. We'd like it a pencil Okay Eight o'clock That evening yeah, that part of it should be fun the fair one way including taxes Well just have it I guess superstition I don't like to presume. I'm going to get back from many of these trips I make that would really be asking for trouble Edmund O'Brien at another adventure of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance Investigator yours truly Johnny dollar Expense account submitted by a special investigator Johnny dollar to Britannia life insurance company a Hartford, Connecticut The following is an accounting of expenditures during my investigation of the dated rocky matters Expense account item one four dollars and fifty cents transportation from Hartford to New York City Item two a dollar and twenty cents cab fare to the hiring hall of the National Maritime Union I talked with you on the phone mr. Richter dollar. Oh, yeah Well like I told you then your man is in San Juan del Sur or if he left we don't know about it I hope he's there. I've got plane reservations. I called the Edwards in line. That's the outfit He was sailing for I want to double-check on our records and theirs are the same You missed the sailing in San Juan del Sur they signed on a local man as far as Panama the ship was the Lyle Edwardson that's it. Can you give me anything that would help identify him? Well Here's his signature in his last job assignment card Can I keep this? No, I guess so sure See you Here's his membership book number one four six five four four All right, would you happen to have any photographs in your file? No, but the Coast Guard office would on his certificate of identification and certificate of service They'll both be in a file on him over there. Yeah, that's what I need. I wouldn't know if I did find him. I'll fix you up Uh Naturally, I'm curious you flying all the way down to that port. What do you want with this David Rocky? I'm telling me he just became a millionaire What? Well, and Rocky was a kid. He was adopted by a Titus Morgan in Boston wealthy man He just died leaving everything to Rocky and he'll like that a million and a half including fifty thousand and insurance That put me on the case Would you like to get some news like that? I don't think I could take it. Thanks a lot, Mr. That was nothing. Yeah, when you find this guy ask him if he can spare a few bucks for the seamen's home, will you? From the Coast Guard documents on David Rocky, I memorized his picture and the next morning I left New York Expense account item three two hundred ninety seven dollars fair and incidentals for the novel item four thirty five dollars a Charter plane I finally arranged for the next day. They put me in San Juan del Sur at three o'clock the next afternoon I Found hotel accommodations and then looked at the local office of David Rocky's last employers the Edwards and steamship lines Hello, my name is doll. I just arrived from Hartford, Connecticut My name is wall place and wall how they do Why on earth would anyone leave Hartford to come to a place like this? I'm an insurance investigator I was sent down here to find a seamen who sailed on one of your ships David Rocky Remember him. Oh, yes, certainly. I remember him. Did you say insurance investigator? That's right Why did you ask that? Why just wondered what you want with him? He has some money coming from a policy and in the state Oh, I Think I'd go back to Hartford, Mr. Dollar Why? David Rocky is not in a position to hear about money up in the state. Oh He's in jail He's being charged with murder. I See When did this happen? I'm afraid I don't have all the particulars the papers. They aren't famous here for accurate reporting But he missed his ship, you know, that was not quite two weeks ago. Yes, I haven't told that I believe the reason was a drinking bout and as a result of it this employee of ours and Icaraguan was killed That to death I believe why didn't anybody know about this in New York his union or your company things move very slowly down here You must be in contact with your New York office. My communications are of a purely business nature, Mr. Dollar I suppose that sounds rather inhumane. Yes, matter of fact, it does I This office handles many thousands of dollars each year for the company and I I have to protect this position You mean that's why you didn't report this trouble of Rocky and if I had it would have meant interference with the officials And that wouldn't have been good for you It would not one who wants to continue in business here doesn't interfere with the Guadalajara national It is both military and police and like in all countries. They have legal procedures I take it you haven't seen Rocky since he was arrested. No, I haven't and I hope you don't mind if I do I'll be blunt with you as long as the interference doesn't stem from this office I think it's highly in order. I wish you luck, Mr. Dollar, and I'd like to have you tell me how you come out I'm not as heartless as I sound. No sure sure just a good businessman Before I tackled them I learned what I could about the police setup in Nicaragua The Guardia had been organized originally by American Army and Marine officers a lot of what I dug up Would have been good news to criminals a couple of thousand men enforcing laws in the country about the size of New York State At least it looked like I find somebody who could speak English. I did but that was all there was in my favor You cannot talk to him. He's a prisoner and I will not have people talk to him. Why not sergeant Why don't you want me to see him? It's for me to say that is my order. You're an important man I understand that but there are some of them more important. What do you say? You're evidently used to dealing with people who are afraid of you. I don't have any reason to be afraid of you Important I do not understand and then feel I'm here under the proper papers They give me certain rights David Rocky was under papers to he has rights. They have a lawyer He does not want one. That's difficult to believe You think I lie. I think you'd better let me go see him. No He's a prisoner prisoner or not. He has a right to see me I'll go to the American consul in Managua if I have to you must know where he'll go to your superior officers You can't do this because of personal feeling sergeant You said ten minutes no more Thanks Maybe that'll be enough. I Came down from the states to find you that's a laugh. I know how these things go They haven't even heard about it up there. So why should anybody come looking for me Titus Morgan died? I'm sorry to hear that What does that have to do with it? He Left you a little money some insurance Company and wanted to find you so they could clear their books There's a fact. Yeah What about this murder charge? If you've been outside, you know more about it than I do. This is where I woke up and this is where I've been I don't know what's going on. What do you mean? This is where you woke up. I got drunk I don't remember getting here. You know about the murder John. Oh, yeah, they told me about that. What happened I don't know I drank too much Most seems like I got a Mickey Did you kill this guy Are you in the level certainly I am yeah, oh my wall of what I get a night That's my operating license my cards are inside Connecticut It's close to home Sorry, I was so suspicious But you could have been working for the police coming in here to give me some false hope and make me blab What about the killing? I don't remember. I don't know what happened His name was Sakasa. He was forming of the Longshoreman crew that loaded. I know that I like didn't have to stand watch that night So I went with him. I've done it before I knew him There were all these drinks at his place finally with his wife. I Remember midnight, but not much after that Except half remembering going to bed because I was so stiff. You went to bed there I'm not even sure that I think so. I don't remember going any place else and believe me I've been trying to what then I don't know almost like a nightmare I Can remember the police being there in the morning? I was here and that Sergeant Ortega won't tell me what's going on And let me see anybody. I don't even know how he was killed in stand He's lying on the floor in the middle of the front room. I wouldn't have any reason to kill a million. Oh You remember who was with you? Yeah, there was his wife as I said. What's her name? Misha Tell me about it. Well, there's nothing about her. She's cigars his wife after I met him. I met her I've made this port quite a few times and got to know him both Who else was with you two other men? One was Dave light. He was a crew member of the ship. So he's gone. The other is Chris Binstead He's in charge of the warehouses here for the Edwards and company Then there was a there was another girl Alicia. I don't know where she came from. I'll find out You're really gonna look into it Yeah, I don't see an American sitting here in a black cell without somebody helping him I won't say I've been praying but if I had been you'd sure be the answer to them. I'll let you know what I find out And mr. Morgan dying. That's right. It's a great man Wish I'd stay home I'll try to see you tomorrow night Hey, hey, let me out when the door clang shut behind me I realized the irony of the situation They air to a million and a half dollar fortune in a jail cell in Nicaragua without rights privileges or even light We will return you to the second act of yours truly Johnny dollar in just a moment Every Saturday night Americans from coast to coast play sing it again. Do you? Well, if you don't you don't know the fun and excitement you're missing Prizes galore plus a special jackpot prize if you can name the phantom voice So stay at home play at home on Saturday nights when over many of these same CBS stations Dan Seymour says it's sing it again Now with our star Edmund O'Brien we return you to the second act of yours truly Johnny dollar Don't trouble me no more. He told me he wouldn't have any reason to kill the man sergeant That's what he said that he doesn't remember killing him. That's what he said to and why he says he was drunk Yes, but he remembers other things like the police being there seems to me. He'd remember killing somebody Why do you think he tell the truth if he do remember it just seems to me that he was telling the truth You are too innocent, and you're maybe I'd like to know what you've got on them I do not understand. Well, what are you building your case on just the fact that he says he doesn't remember He says he'd have no reason to kill a miliano What motive are you using motive their wife? You mean there was something between Rocky and the wife to herself She's a cat and all men they are mice for her. All right, that's something wouldn't be enough in my country. No That's nothing but the vagus kind of Circumstantial evidence don't you have anything real the the murder weapon for example. It was no found What about the fatal wounds then what kind of a knife made them do you think it was a wide knife? There's a seamen rocky could have been carrying a knife, but it would have been a small one You think of that we search him. He did not have a knife. He pulled away. How do you know he threw it? He did not have it You believe in his lies. I tell you what the people say who were with him I don't want to hear your version of what they said. I'll talk to them myself No, you do not you do not in your fear as far as you're concerned. He's guilty until he can be proved innocent And you don't want anybody to try and do that. I don't try to stop me sergeant If you don't want your superiors on your neck you'll be in trouble too. You want careful My first move was to get a cable off the heart that advising the company of the situation and suggesting that the Titus Morgan estate and the lawyer to San Juan del Sur as quickly as possible By then it was 5 p.m. Through Clayton wall in the Edwardson office. I found the address of the Sagasa widow one in a section of houses that the Company had improved for their employees Mrs. Sagasa was an attractive unusually fair-skinned woman of maybe 23 or 4 Who was outside enjoying the moist wind of evening when I arrived she too spoke English The company thought me I work seems to be a good company does a lot for its San Juan people Sometimes I think it is good But then sometimes I think it would be better never to know any Americans But they bring me many presents from America David Rocky and who else the other sailor from the ship the one named David light Yes, that one too and one called Robert. What did your husband say about all these presents? They mine only sometimes he was angry He would say you are my wife. You don't take these things. I say yes, Emiliano I'm your wife and these things don't change that He would smile The angry about David Rocky You know he's in jail, aren't you? Did you see him killed your husband? No, I understand you were here. Yes, I was here with Alicia. We came out here It was hot inside and the men were still inside Dave light and rocky and your husband Yes, and there was one other wasn't it? What was his name? Binstead? Yes, Chris Did you hear anything from out here? All of them talking I think David Rocky thinks he remembers lying down while he was here. I think he stood up He was up when you came out of your house. Yes, I think it was Well There was a lot of rum. Yes, I know Have there been any trouble any arguments? No, I don't think don't you remember there was only trouble when Chris ran out Then Emiliano What did Chris say? Dave who only Dave could he have meant Dave light. I don't know was Dave light still in the house No, he was going to bring the guardia Look, it's very important that I learned all the truth about what happened The guardia have made up their minds that David Rocky killed your husband if he did he'll be punished But if he didn't that's got to be proved I came here to tell him that well that he had a new life to live David Rocky is a rich man in America now You know how much a million dollars is Well, it's it's more than you or your children or your grandchildren could ever spend here in San Juan David Rocky has more than that now He doesn't know I came here to tell him about it, but when I found out about your husband I didn't You understand now why I have to learn the truth, don't you? All right, and would you take me into your house and try to remember everything that happened Before you and Alicia went outside Another Edwardson ship had docked that evening and I found Chris Binstead on the wall Supervising the placement of the cargo that was screaming into the warehouse He didn't want to but he turned his job over to a helper and led me up some stairs to his office in the loft of the building I don't quite get your bin down here. You say Dave Rocky came into some money Yeah, a little from an insurance policy somebody in his family. He didn't have any family That's what I thought he never talked about having a home or anything Yeah, you get her to see him. Yeah, I saw him. It's a whale of a spot he's in. Yeah, I feel sorry for him But what else can you expect? Did you see him kill Sigasa Chris? Yeah, and I don't want to see anything like that again What happened exactly? Well, the whole thing was that everybody had been drinking too much He passed out and laid down on a cot. He'd stayed there everything had been all right But Misha she's nothing but a package of trouble anyway. She had to go over and try to wake him up He said something that got her husband started. What do you mean started? Yeah, riled up, you know something personal So he goes over and dumps Rocky on the floor and tells him to get out and not come back Rocky hit him once and then went out in the kitchen got the knife came back Misha told me she was outside. Yeah, she was I sent both the women out when the trouble started She said there hadn't been any trouble She knows better than that Yeah, I guess so I can't see why she'd lie. I never figured them out any of Anyway, Rocky came back with a knife and they called each other some names and all of a sudden I was the miliano on the floor then what it was the end of it Went and told me sure what had happened Dave light went after the Gordy of what did you say to Misha? I just told her that Rocky killed her husband She says you told that Dave did that you didn't say Rocky. Maybe I did say Dave, but I met Dave Rocky What are you pressing me for? Just trying to find out what happened. I told you what happened. How about this Dave light? How come he was able to climb aboard his ship and leave he reported the thing mr. Ward the main office talk to the Gordy and they let him go What is all this dollar you got the facts it was funny that David Rocky doesn't remember killing him Is that what he says he doesn't remember a man who does a thing like that when he's blind drunk is usually following his Subconscious mind that would mean that when he's sober he probably would have thought about killing a miliano So that would mean that the motive might be the elimination of the husband Now I can't figure a seaman who's here in San Juan only a few days at a time Even thinking of going to these links to get rid of Misha's husband What are you driving I tell him I'm thinking out loud I guess Why? That'd better be all I Guess you have to get back to work Yeah, okay Thanks a lot for seeing me It was cold black when I left and made my way on foot back to my hotel a message was waiting for me at the desk Please phone mr. Clayton wall You to call yes, mr. Wall. What is it the widow Mitchell came to my house She wanted to get in touch with you. It's funny. I gave him my hotel. You are out and she couldn't find you I'm maybe that's it. What does she want? She didn't tell me but she'll be at her house. I would like to have you come there All right, I'll go right over Don't come before me and I was busy asking questions. I thought Chris been said what he say Hard to tell the lies from the alcoholic confusion I don't understand it either me should Well, why'd you want to see me? I found a knife Where behind that? That chest I didn't touch it. Why wasn't it found before? How did you happen to find it? Now tell me the truth Misha you want to help David Rocky if I can help And don't say anything about finding the knife not to anybody. I don't tell you didn't tell mr. Wall He asked me but I don't tell all right leave it that way Don't say anything to anybody I slept after that almost the first sleep I'd had since I left New York the first thing the next morning I arranged for another charter plane to Monaco in it I sent the murder weapon and the only other thing I could think of that carried David Rocky's fingerprints My wallet that he'd held while I showed him my identification After a meal that passed for breakfast. I went back to see him I haven't going crazy in here. What have you found out? I'm not much some of it good some bad We'll have to wait till his afternoon to do any more seems like this is a hangover. I'm never gonna get over The times I hadn't been going crazy. I've been thinking to mr. Morgan How did he die? heart Wasn't very old I keep remembering what he said when I left that there were two worlds and that I was picking the wrong He adopted me and yeah, I talked to his lawyers, but I didn't get the whole story Doesn't make any difference I guess except that I could have made him a lot happier than I did He had a son of his own that got killed in an auto accident when he was 14 the mother too I didn't know that I was the same age and I'm supposed to take his son's place Mr. Morgan found me in a state home took me in Gave me everything put me through school high school Why did you leave him? Yes, I'd lived too long in the other world or something I always felt like an outsider And the war came along and I went into the merchant marine. How old are you now rocky 27? I went back after the war, but I wasn't cut out for it. I guess Took to see those and formal dinners and dames. I didn't understand Rest of the people who never seemed to say what they were thinking. They're funny though I tried because I knew mr. Morgan wanted me to It was just something rough in me that I couldn't hold down And there were a couple of things with these stuff shirts, you know fights Finally a few years back. I got up and left without saying anything to mr. Morgan. I got no sermon to preach I know it wasn't the way to do it He left me some insurance anyway How do you like that guy? Have you been thinking about the sagasa thing rocky? I've been trying. You can't remember any more. No Does it look bad? I can't tell about these other people. I wouldn't have killed him Misha's trouble. I know that but I wouldn't have killed him I didn't have any reason to It's been my approach, but I haven't proved anything with it You sit tight until I come back Oh here Rogers and cigarettes I got an answer that morning on my cable to Hartford the Morgan estate was sending a lawyer Then I waited until the middle of the afternoon when the charter plane came back from an aqua with the results of the fingerprint tests There was only one place to go Give me a straight story at the beginning rocky. Oh, what do you mean? Why didn't you tell me you killed him? No, I swear. I don't I don't remember You mean that don't you I don't remember mr. Dollar. I don't remember Did I kill him? Didn't you ever think of getting sagasa out of the way? Yeah, he was in the way Did I kill him? I've been looking for evidence that would say you didn't What I found says you did What? Your fingerprints on the knife and no other fingerprint at all They couldn't have been faked There was only one way to get them there What? I'm sorry So am I I didn't mean to it. I had no reason to it Why did I things happen? I guess Could happen to anybody you who doesn't have any more sense than I do I got nobody to blame Nobody Expense account item five same as items three and four transportation back to Hartford item six miscellaneous $235 expense account total $840 and 75 cents remarks I'm sorry. The mission wasn't more successful The estate lawyer arrived before I left and although he wasn't familiar with nicaraguan courts He felt that David Rocky had a chance on a second degree murder plea None of us knew what the terms would be But we did know that a million and a half dollars was worth waiting for yours truly Johnny dollar Yours truly Johnny dollars stars Edmund O'Brien in the title role and is written by gill dowd with music by wilbur hatch Edmund O'Brien's latest picture is the paramount pictures production the redhead and the cowboy Featured in tonight's cast were lily and bioff bill conred Taller mcvay edgar barrier jane novello and jack moils Yours truly johnny dollar is produced and directed by heimei del valle This is dick cutting inviting you to join us next week at this time when edmund o'Brien returns as yours truly johnny dollar They're saturday night fun with a young married set when lucille ball and her favorite husband come along later this evening on most of these Same cbs stations You'll enjoy the laughs with lucille ball as she tries to help But more often hinders the man she calls my favorite husband And now stay tuned for von munro's caravan, which follows immediately over most of these same cbs stations This is cbs.
