Yours truly, Johnny Dollar.

The next half hour has its baggage pack

to take a trip with America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, Johnny Dollar.

At insurance investigation, he is just an expert.

At making out his expense account, he is an absolute genius.

Expense accounts submitted by special investigator Johnny Dollar to home office,

Nutmeg State Casualty and Bonding Company, Hartford, Connecticut.

The following is an accounting of my expenditures during investigation of series of accidents

affecting your policyholder the fun fair and weatherly carnival shows.

Or how I went for a spin on a case we might refer to as murder as Mary Garand.

Expense account, item one, 25 cents.

Purchase of Billboard, theatrical magazine, to check the roots of Fun fair and weatherly carnival shows.

Expense account, item two, $68.

Air and train fares to Teledica, Alabama.

Item three, a dollar ten.

Cads fare and what was only a fair imitation of a cab.

From Talladega Depot to the dusty vacant lot,

which it overnight found itself wearing theatrical makeup.

Brightly as the hot sun beat down on the midway,

it couldn't help the layout of canvas and slats from looking beat up.

A perspiring mechanic shot sparse of profanity back
