Hollywood, it's not now four.

Johnny. Hollywood. It's time now for... Johnny Dollar.

Johnny, this is Fritz Milk here. It's Star Mutual.

Fritz, I can't think of anybody I'd rather hear from.

What?

Every insurance case you've called me on has put a lot of dough in my pocket.

Well, now, Johnny...

And it just happens that right now I can use a few extra bucks. Quite a few. So what's the deal? Well, as a matter of fact, I hadn't thought in terms of any fee on this one. Oh. But, of course, we'll pay whatever expenses you may incur. Oh. You, uh, trust me with my expense account for it? Are you kidding? Of course not. Okay, then, now that we understand each other, what's the problem? Or rather, who's the problem? John Wakefield, Edward. Never hear of him? No, I can't say that I have. Retired businessman. Leather goods, I think it was. He lives just outside of Auburn in New York. So what's happened to him? Well, nothing than I know of. But he has a lot of insurance with it, including a straight life policy worth $155,000. How old is he, Fritz? In his late 60s. Married? His wife died three or four years ago. Then who's the beneficiary? His adopted daughter, Maryland. And how old is she? In her late 20. She's a very attractive girl, I understand. Then who cares about a plea? Fritz, I'll take the family. Easy, Johnny. You probably won't even see her. Oh, why not? But she lives and worked over in Troy. Ah. Well, what's happened to me, old man? Well, he called me a few minutes ago and asked, or rather demanded, that I send you over to see him immediately.

Yeah, why?

He wouldn't say.

What he did say, though, just before he hung up,

is that under no circumstances are you to let her know that you're coming?

Meaning, Barrowin?
