Johnny Dollar. Clark Tracy at Providential Assurance Company. Yeah, hi Clark. I'm glad I caught you in. Are you free to take an assignment? Sure, why not? Did you ever hear of Kennett, Missouri? No. It's a small town about 100 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee. So what goes? We have a little office in Kennett, only it's become pretty obvious that we put the wrong man in charge of it a few months ago. What do you mean? His name is Charles Kingsley, St. Clair. He lived in Boston most of his life, and he's a Harvard man. So? He doesn't have the least idea how to deal with those people when it comes to any problems or adjustments. In other words, he simply doesn't belong.

Well, he answers to that ought to be easy enough. Transfer him, give my jobs somewhere up here in New England. Exactly what we plan to do and close up the office there in Kennet. Okay, then why call on me? Because of the death of one of the few remaining policyholders down there, a man named Casper comp. Yeah? His widow, Eufaft, has to be paid the $5,000 to her, and, of course, signed for it. Well, what's so tough about that? St. Clair says that he can't do it. Why not? If you must know the truth, he sounded somewhat scared of the whole idea. Oh, now listen. Johnny, will you go on out there and take care of this thing for us and get us up a hood? Hold on the strength of what little you've told me.

I know, I know, but I'm sure St. Clair will be. Well, listen. Well, Johnny, will you go on out there and take care of this thing for us and get us up a hood? Put on the strength of what little you've told me.

I know, I know, but I'm sure St. Clair will be able to make it all perfectly clear to you.

Well, why aren't doing that you're on your way, okay? Oh, no, no. Now, look. I promise I locate your expense account without question, even tack on some kind of a fee.

Well, now you're talking a language I understand.

If the fee is big enough, then you'll do it, fine.

Now take it easy. and tack on some kind of a fee. Well, now you're talking a language, I understand.

If the fee is big a night, then you'll do it.

Fine.

Now, take it easy until we settle you.

No, I'm right away.

Clark!

Then wait to get your report.

Wait, I'm a minute, will you?

Thanks a minute, Johnny.

Bye.

Clark!
