I'm now for Edmund O'Brien as... Johnny Dollar. Dollar, thank goodness I found you. Why, what's up? You've got to leave from New York, Dollar. Immediately, a policyholder, he's afraid for his life. Here we go again. Who's he afraid of? Well, he wouldn't say over the telephone. All I know is, to us he's worth $100,000 alive.

Well, that makes it simple.

He must be afraid of somebody to whom he's worth $100,000 dead.
