She hadn't lived there in two months How could that be when I've had correspondence with this Cleaver woman in the past two weeks a male could have been Forwarded to someplace else from the Manchester post office What was the return address on her letters to you? I didn't notice I think she would have mentioned any change, but she didn't this man Forestland was his name said she moved to a place called Middletown, but he didn't have an address I don't know over there, but It's too big a place for an untrained man like me.

They don't stand just range Caught the Manchester post office before it closed and a cooperative clerk there gave me her forwarding address in Middletown It's about 15 miles south of heart, but my drove down there after dinner that same night It wasn't quite the setting you'd expect for a divorcee who received checks from California twice a month And it was in line for $40,000. It was a ratty little hotel in the darker end of town There was one man in the lobby and one woman behind the desk. Oh You didn't miss her or let me understand you have a mrs. Jackie cleaver staying here Jackie cleaver you kidding Oh, I'm not kidding. Is she in she doesn't stay here anymore. You know where she went.

Jackie was married and divorced But she stayed on as beneficiary Never said anything about that marriage, but there's plenty of her that doesn't come out You sound like you know her pretty well not as well as some I guess When did she leave here? Oh two or three weeks ago. Anyway, I can look it up more important Do you know where she went? No, not exactly. She said something about New Haven.

Well, it didn't take you long to get here did it? Stay away from my telephone Sit down over here What's the automatic for? I'll show you how serious we are about about what?

Good luck, but thanks. Give me 25 minutes and you can get out of here See you tomorrow. Mm-hmm What's it all about happy? Well, now this thing is too big for the both of us as they say Now don't talk about it. Just pretend you're here alone and your phone is out of order I knew what to expect at the hotel after the one called happy it left and I was able to get down there But I was only half right Excuse me, excuse me, could I get through please? Hey, mister, you can't go in there. It's my IT. I was working for me. Oh, I'm the house detector. Come on Where is he in the bathroom? I closed the door He'd evidently been blasted into the bathroom by the shock of a heavy caliber gun That had taken him in the middle of the abdomen in the chest But it wasn't Carl Mason It was the gunman who'd come to kill him the one called first We will return you to the second act of yours to lay Johnny dollar in just a moment You can sing it again for an hour tonight on most of these same CBS stations And while you're enjoying this merry tune for our with Jan Murray and the gang Maybe you'll get a phone call and a chance to solve the phantom voice mystery the cash jackpot is the highest It's been in weeks be listening for sing it again this evening on CBS And now with our star Edmund O'Brien, we return you to the second act of yours truly Johnny dollar Except for one unfortunate coincidence I probably would have been able to drop the whole matter right there and I would have gladly But it turned out that the lieutenant assigned the case was an acquaintance of mine He had once informed me that a friend of his was on the state board from which I got my license And he had never let me forget it now John you tell me this fellow mace hired you names mason Schiller Carl Mason. Oh, I got it down with adult pencils hard to read He hired you to get the signature of this cleaver woman. Who is she? I wish I knew I wasn't able to find her Well, who did this? Mason say she was pretty obvious. He fed me a pack of lies. Looks like he hired me to put the finger on her Oh, why would he do that? I don't know Schiller if I'd known I wouldn't be here Now you ought to be more careful who you hire out to John now Let's see you say that a second man named happy held you in your apartment at gunpoint while the other one the deceased Became this hotel room. Is that true? Of course, it's true If you were any kind of a policeman things like that wouldn't happen to honest taxpayers Do you haven't been in trouble and heart for quite a while after John this guy? I'm surprised didn't try to notify the police prior to the shooting. I did Look at my head and now you're asking me to risk infection Just so you can write a lot of illegible nonsense in that notebook I'm John John. Let's start over and in a better mode. The force has always cooperated with you At least I have you know to be more thankful. All right Schiller, but please put away the pencil Let me tell you what I know Mason evidently came from the West Coast to find the cleaver woman. Why the West Coast? Well, he had forms and a business card from a Western insurance company She had been receiving mail from California. The guy called happy mentioned the West Coast now How would that add up? Florida Go ahead. He's your man. Schiller And he's going to be halfway back to the West Coast unless you remember your training get some men to cover the airlines and Railroads and get some roadblocks. I was planning to or anything more from me. You can't just drop this thing John How would that look in my report? What do you want me to do Schiller that find that woman. Oh, use my wasting men when you've already started on That's kind of three ten dollars to the hotel doctor who stitched and bandaged my head item four dollar and thirty cents night Leather to a West Coast detective agency Asking for a rundown and both Carl Mason and Jackie cleaver then at about 11. I started back to the hotel in Middletown There is everybody who think I was in the lobby the last time I was here Places all yours and hasn't been a soul in since you laughter. Don't think does he live here. I'm not so sure I know just which one you think you do they call him happy, which he isn't gonna be when I find him I don't think I know him What's the matter honey enough to make it smart for you to level with me honey the police aren't far behind me What do you want? I want happy. Does he live here? No, he just hang around once in a while got a girlfriend lives here. Yeah, where is she? She's not home. She's sick from the hospital. Which one the county hospital What's her name? Nadine Williams What's the matter with happy in another guy named Bert something teamed up to get rid of somebody but it backfired Bert was killed. Oh, what is there about Jackie cleaver that could cause this trouble? I don't know anything about it. If you're holding things back from me. I can have the police drag you in I Don't know what it's all about with Jackie But I can't tell you a few places where you might find happy. What's his real name smell Chandler He was gonna meet Bert tonight. Do you know where? Couple places one of the wigwam. That's a roadhouse on the highway south of here. Yeah, that's further Tower in New London All right, I'll check him if he happens to come in here again Tell him what happened and tell him he can do himself some good by talking to me before the police get to him I don't think you'll come back here not with trouble like this. He probably doesn't know about it yet. Uh-huh. I didn't thought of that All right, if I see him, I'll tell him what you said I had the brand you ordered, but I got some others. It's all right. Just any kind of dark run It's okay sure Did a big call for rum when it's as cold as this by that fine Say There's happy Chandler been in tonight. Happy who not the famous one. No, I thought you were pulling my leg No, nobody with that name comes in here We get a pretty steady set of customers here. Oh once in a while somebody driving by drops in Maybe got your signals make that could be Another wig warm around here that I know Somebody told me he comes in here Not that I know of how about another one. Thanks. What do I owe you 50 cents? Thanks, thank you. Sorry you got me It's a lot warmer inside. Isn't it happy? No, I just got here Look may at the hotel give you a bump stair see don't be too rough on her She has to play along with us if she couldn't stay in business. Yeah here. That's all I care about you phone And told me what happened. So I came over here to talk it over with Bert didn't meet me. So I guess it's straight about him. You'll read about it. Did Mason get away temporarily? But I don't think you'll get out of the area. Please have it covered. I wish him luck You told me I could do myself some good if I talked to you before the police picked me up That's the way I see it. You're in a bad spot. But if you play ball with me, I'll do the same for you. Keep coming I didn't know who you were when you and Bert conspired for a killing. That's a wrap. I might save you The police don't have your name yet or your description or the name of the hotel in Middletown What do you want the cleaver woman? She's the middle of this mess. She's clean. She didn't do anything She must have to bring mason all the way from the west coast after her Bert died trying to stop him. She must have done something to rate all that action. I mean as far as tonight goes She's out of the picture She doesn't even know what happened What would you do with her the police want to talk to her if she's clean as you say she shouldn't mind that Oh, I don't think she would You what? Doesn't matter. Don't you believe me? She wouldn't she's got no reason to be afraid of the police. Well, it's holding us up then Well, it's too late tonight Look, I gotta make a couple of calls you being your apartment tomorrow morning. I'll phone you about 10 Okay, happy. I'd call myself stupid except you showed up here tonight and you didn't have to You'll hear from me. I'll call it 10 The first thing I got the next morning was the information I'd wired for Carl mason was a disbarred lawyer who had linked himself with a syndicate that until recently Had controlled the wire service etc of four western states The machine had been destroyed by the supreme court testimony of a state's witness The rundown on jackie cleaver filled out the rest She had been the witness Johnny dollar what play is that Yeah, but you are I think you've made a good choice. It'd be tough to prove what your motives were Be better for me later in the day. Maybe right afternoon You are right where you are Good thing you didn't try to leave town. They got everything covered. I'll be here. Goodbye. Oh, is this happy? Yeah I'm sorry. Uh, somebody had a job for me. What's happening with you jackie's with me Uh, what's the name of the cop at charge of birds killing lieutenant schiller Schiller, is he a precinct man or from downtown downtown? You have him in his office at 11 Jackie, I'll meet you there. I'll meet her at the desk out front. All right. I'll have her there I recognize her from the description as you walked through the door Dark nicely featured and wearing conservative clothes She held out a gloved hand when I told her who I was Well, mr. Dollar, I didn't have any idea. I was causing everyone so much trouble when you are hard to locate I've had to be Where's the lieutenant this way? Lieutenant Schiller, this is miss jackie cleaver. Well Sit down miss cleaver. Thanks lieutenant. The pleasure to meet you Well, we've had ourselves a little trouble, haven't we? I'm afraid so. I'm sorry. Let's uh, oh I don't blame you entirely from what dollar tells me you're to be commended for testifying for the state out there I didn't know the secret was out. Mr. Dollar part of the agreement was to keep it I wired for some information on you. What did you find out? Only that your testimony put the syndicate out of business when you hear the rest I know you won't talk about it outside this office They've been very nice to me in payment for what I did for them They understood of course that it wasn't saved for me out there So they saw that I got here and have been sending a small amount of money twice a month It's not quite the accepted thing. Is it? My money is sent to a lawyer in los angeles who sends it on to me Well, I suppose they have the reasons dolly. That's not a lot of business I take it the syndicate learned where you are You can't hide from those people. I don't know how they found me, but they did a few months ago I've had to stay on the move ever since I suppose not knowing that you must have thought I was an arch criminal myself I was curious my friends here have done everything they could to help me Poor Bert I don't think he went to kill this mason. Why not? Well, I think he went to frighten him away Do any news about mason? Oh, we will haul him in don't you worry about that. He's ready to give himself up It told dollar this morning. Oh I hope you get him. Maybe that'll put an end to it Do you need me any more lieutenant? I don't think so. Do you dolly? I guess not. Well, I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused Well, how that we understand this is perfectly all right. Mr. Dollar. Thanks for coming in. I'm glad I finally met you The second surrender that of mason should have finished the whole thing, but it didn't I waited his call at my apartment when it came I met him for instruction in a drug store a few blocks away I made one mistake I answered the only question he asked me Are you found Jackie cleaver? Yeah, I talked with her and I'll tell you what she said The court thinks she's a brave courageous woman Arrangements have been made so that she gets paid for her service to it. That's right. Well, I'll put the light of that What's the matter with it? Well, she testified all right She knocked our syndicate out so the one she was mixed up with could move in What do you think of that? Is it true? Of course, it's true That prosecutor thought he was using her but she was using him The situation the way it is that put your yourself again There's some federal investigators to make a look as though there was collusion between the state and the syndicate that moved in Not true, but She could cause some heads to fall where I live in Connecticut Don't be stuffy Ready to go. You're right. I'm ready. I don't care what the charges against me are As long as I can get the truth about that character on record that car's outside Down this way. Don't forget you heard those men say they were going to kill me. I want the arresting Wait, yeah, that's the other one Happy, what do you want? Get out of the way, Tyler I've lived up to my part of the bargain. Come on. Let's play it out the right way Get out of the way wait a minute you happy get out of here No, it should have ended when mason gave himself up, but it didn't Smell happy chandler was apprehended But the search was on again for jackie cleaver. I wish them luck. They can have the job Expense account item five forty five dollars and seventy five cents miscellaneous Expense account total two hundred and eighty dollars remarks Since mason actually had nothing to do with the sierra all risk insurance company I hardly expect you to honor this account, but you should It should be worth that to learn what goes on behind your back Yours truly johnny dolla Yours truly johnny dolla stars edmund o' brian in the title role and is written by gill dowd with music by wilber hatch Edmund o' brian's latest picture is the paramount pictures production war path Featured in tonight's cast were ed begley dick ryan mary lansing sydney miller tim graham virginia greg high everback and jim nusser Yours truly johnny dolla is transcribed in hollywood by heimey del valle This is dan coverley inviting you to join us next week at this time when edmund o' brian will return as yours truly johnny dolla If you've ever tried to read a book in a bad light, you know the irritation that can be caused by tired eyes by a sick nagging headache This same irritation may be causing your boy or girl to lose valuable study hours in school Bad lighting may be dragging down their grades Your community school is your responsibility Do all you can to keep its classrooms well-lighted modern in every respect Remember better schools mean better students better citizens tomorrow Now stay tuned for the von mineral caravan which follows immediately on most of these same cbs stations Wanted by your american red cross immediately 4 000 emergency blood donors the recent influenza epidemic severely curtailed the shipment of life-giving blood to wounded g This blood is needed urgently become a red cross blood donor now Call your local red cross office at once for an appointment This is cbs for your laugh at jack benny every sunday night the columbia broadcasting system
