Johnny Dollar. John, this is Harry Branson at Philadelphia Mutual Liability and Casualty Insurance Company. Well, it's about time, Harry. How come I haven't heard from you lately? Fortunately, we've had no problems recently. That is nothing requiring investigation. Until now, huh? Well, yes. So what's the trouble? Arson, May him? Murder? John? It may be all of them.

Unless you're able to put a stop to what's going on. Hmm. Sounds interesting. Who's involved in all this? And don't tell me you've been selling insurance to some gangster. Well, as a matter of fact, he is. What? An ex-gastor. At least he was known to have been mixed up with gangsters for several years. Who? Bertie Larson.

Larson, huh?

Well, at least the name sounds appropriate.

So tell me what he's... Wait a minute. Yes, John. Isn't Bertie Larson the punk they've had before that special investigating committee? Yes. The committee on narcotics and gambling, the one that has the hearings on television now and then? That's the one. Well, and Harry, if you want my advice, you'll cancel his policy. Pay him off with interest and forget him.

I'm afraid that's the one well then harry if you want my advice you'll cancel his policy pay him off with interest and forget him i'm afraid

that's impossible what's more since those hearings began we've increased the base value of some of

his policies you have what yes but now if you were the threats he's been receiving threats on his

light his home, his family.

Well, John... Baby, you're in trouble. John, do you think you can help us? And get my head blown off by some gunsel? Harry, this kind of stuff I shouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. But don't you see... In spite of the big fee, your company will have to pay me, in addition to my expense account... Just a minute. At least it'll guarantee me a decent funeral.

Funeral?

But if that's the way you want it,

as long as you're willing to pay me in addition to my expense account. Just a minute. At least it'll guarantee me a decent funeral. A funeral? But if

that's the way you want it, as long as you're willing to pay

through the nose for my service. But, John, I didn't

say, John, that is, listen to me, John. Okay, keep your shirt on, Harry.

I'll run on down there and see you.
