 From Hollywood, it's time now for Johnny Dulling Good No, I'm on a telephone with extensions. No, no, I don't Yeah, just as fast as I can get there Tonight and every weekday night Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the action-packed expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. You're as truly Johnny dollar From special investigator Johnny dollar location Caracas, Venezuela to the home office worldwide mutual insurance company Hartford, Connecticut Assignment the Aldermatter expense account continued At the cable office I ran into another dead end Vic Kelly back in Hartford had come up with absolutely nothing on either Dora Jansen who called herself Doris Cole or Arthur singer the little man. She'd hurried off an incoming liner yesterday complete strikeout. I Headed outside caught a glimpse of Mrs. Billy Alder watching me from across the street Social life changing Mrs. Older Does being my hostess include tailing me does being on like your street constitute tailing you Preserve me from amateur detectors. Good morning, Mr. Dollar. Oh, come on. You rushed out of the house so fast You couldn't possibly have eaten. I'll buy you breakfast. I Knew it was curiosity that made her take me up She just couldn't resist the thought that maybe I'd give something away. Let something slip She ate warily tentatively We must have looked like two boxes in a close fight sitting on the edge of their stools waiting for the last round The one that would decide the winner You're staring thinking You love your husband Mrs. Alder it better be a reason for a question like that. Let's stop sparring You know why I'm down here. Do I you told me you did the other day, so I did I Don't be a loof lady. You're not that much in the clear You've been the beneficiary several times and dropped my daughter is the present one. I believe and what exactly is your point? It's been no crime committed. No crime Somebody's bullet misses your husband by inches and you call it no crime. Thank you for breakfast Don't forget. I saw you out on the grounds of the house searching the place that shot came from I told you before you knew an automatic pistol was used admitted looking for a shell you talk too much mr. Dollar and you talk too little Look, why have you been tailing me? It's certainly not to see that I'm protecting your husband's life So it's obviously to make sure that I don't find out something Now what is it Mrs. Alder and why is it so terribly important? I don't find out about if you won't leave mr. Dollar. I will There's this about getting someone angry enough fearful enough it makes them forget about caution Mrs. Alder never once looked back simply had it straight for the cheap little waterfront hotel where Arthur singer was staying She stayed for over half an hour and when she left she still looked frightened Whatever the game was it looked like everyone was a player but me But Mrs. Alder's move helped started an idea annoying at me So I headed for Caracas in the office of a smart cop Hefe Velazquez I needed someone to talk to and the Hefe was a good listener Let me go sit down. Tell me where it feels wrong Billy Alder he does all that changing in this policy. So I assume he's scared of being knocked off Probably by one of the people who has been named a beneficiary of the policy. So So now I'll take the other people concerned Alder's wife is as much a clam as her husband is Also, she knows what kind of a gun was used to take that shot at him Dora Janssen a woman who uses an alias and is obviously afraid of me Arthur singer a little man Dora has hidden in a waterfront hotel and now I find Alder's wife knows about the little man, too Conclusion I made That the three of them are in on something together But not to kill Alder for that policy his daughter gets it all yet alder is afraid and I think he's scared of something The others know Suppose that shot wasn't meant to kill him just frighten him a sign that somebody meant business That is a nice piece of logic. Yeah. Now all I got to do is make it work Look, have a whatever this deal is nobody's gonna make a move till I'm out of here So so good bad or indifferent. I'm going to do a little acting I stayed with the leska's another half hour setting things up as best I could Then I drove to the airport and paid item 11 309 dollars and 80 cents for a plane ticket marked Hartford, Connecticut Sure, it was an expensive prop But this was one act. I had to be convincing him I drove back to caracas pasted a real angry look on my face marched into billy alder's sumptuous office and threw the airline ticket on his desk He studied it for a long minute What does this mean dollar that I've had all of you I can take alder you and you keep me alive You are going back to the states you can read the ticket says Hartford, Connecticut It also says the six o'clock plane because there's nothing earlier But why Why dollar so I can get back and make my recommendations to the insurance company You know what i'm gonna recommend alder, please wait that they cancel your policy because of your refusal to cooperate Sorry, alder dollar, please now. Don't do it. I beg you. There's a clause in that policy I don't care about that policy now. Don't you understand understand what listen to me All that changing of beneficiaries. I only did that to make them send someone down here. I need protection against what I I'm in a jam All I want is protection until until it's peacefully settled Do you understand no planer? I know someone wants to kill me over a business deal I'm asking you to see that I stay alive until I have time to Reason with this man. Who is he? I can't tell you but let me tell you something. He's just arrived in town. How did you? How don't you see mr. Dollar? You must stay sorry. Goodbye, mr. Alder I went back to the alder house packed my bag and said my goodbye Neither mrs. Alden or dora jansen wept I drove to the airport check my luggage Then I slipped away drove back to caracas the long way A half hour later. I checked into a little side street hotel where hefe valescas had reserved a room for me Then came the hardest part the waiting That six o'clock plane must have been way out over the carabin when the call finally came Yeah, valescas here. You tired of waiting, brother. You know it. Look hefe your men check in Maybe I should have taken part of the work Your whole idea depends on it thinking you took that plane. You must stay right where you are What about your men have they Artist singer I can tell you every move they make in the last three hours But they haven't made the one I'm waiting for huh? If they make it thanks hefe Five minutes later valescas called again He took only enough time to tell me he was on his way and to be down in the street in two minutes I was I only beat him by seconds Come on, amigo Well, it looked like your plan worked when he told his dora johnson Yeah As soon as she learned your plane left the one you did not take She rushed to the waterfront hotel pick up the artist singer then the two of them rushed to the alder house and Alder must have seen him coming because he jumped in his car and raced out in the direction of his Well, we look at an arrow They see him and follow him. That's where we headed for now. We better get things going get there before singer kills alder I don't know whether or not he deserves killing, but I know one thing it'll cost my company a quarter of a million bucks Well, let's guess men were plenty good Halfway to car narrow one of them flagged us down told us both cars had definitely passed his way And when we reached the oil field another one waited at the gate He told us billy alder dora jansen and artist singer were in a little work shack across the field We left the car moved as quietly as we could toward the shack There was a weird feeling in every direction you could see the great oil rigs working pumping ignoring us We reached the shack peered cautiously through the window And even weird scene was taking place And almost hysterical dora jansen pointed a luger at a sweating billy alder A terrified artist singer pleaded with her their words pushed easily through the thin wooden slatting dora Don't please don't do it. You'll only make things worse your brother's right dora dora listen to like he listened to you Four years ago. What did it get him mr. Fancy promoter? Tell me that I'll make it right with it a quiet gentleman A bookkeeper who never did anything wrong in his life until you sold him a bill of goods Listen to me both of you so he read your books for you made false entries made it look like he was responsible for the bankruptcy And he did the three years in prison that you should have done for a hundred thousand dollars That was the deal and believe me. I'm not trying to cheat him The money is tied up in my business any time But I'll pay him pay him. It's been a year since he came out of jail. You'll never pay You'll try to cheat him out of the money one way or another. I swear to you dawg It's a lot easier to kill him than pay him isn't it? Oh, you're crazy. Is that why you kept the luger in the house? Were you worried when it disappeared when I shot at you to let you know I meant business? Take what you're doing dollar knows all about this. Oh, yes Your bodyguard must have gotten frightened after I had him beat up the other day He's on his way to the states in a plane dora No, I'm going to kill you. No, come on Put it down dora. You pull that trigger and he'll still come out the winner. No, senorita. Do not make me fire, please I don't care as long as he gets what he deserves Stand back senorita for a split second. She wavered Then the hate took over All this sank to the floor disbelief on his face Panic. She raced down into the night and I went after her Dora Dora hold it. There's no place to go What happened to her john? She panicked turned to scream at me and ran right into one of the protection fences around the derrick She just passed out. She'll come around. How's alder conscious, but I do not know. We better get him to the hospital Yeah, come on She didn't mean to shoot him. My sister wouldn't hurt anyone. Sure. Sure. Go take care of her. She was only doing it for me For me, mr. Alder I would have paid I wasn't going to cheat him Oh dollar You know, yeah, we heard it all I'm glad it's over The worrying want to tell me one thing alder your wife. Why does she fit? She had nothing to do with it just knew about it I wasn't too nice to her for a long time other women Her running around just the way of punishing me paying me back She knew I couldn't afford Complain. Yeah, we should have told me a long time ago alder couldn't Case could always be reopened I couldn't face that Would have hurt too much.
