Well, now it's time for today's episode of yours truly Johnny Dollar, the original air date.

August 15th of 1951, and the title is The Lucky Costa Manor.

Rickley Spearman chewing gum, the refreshing delicious treat that gives you chewing

enjoyment, presents for your listening enjoyment, Edmund O'Brien as Johnny Dollar.

Johnny, this is Louise Costa. All Louise, saying that's funny. I was thinking of you in

Lucky just this morning. Where are you? Yeah, how are you? I don't know, Johnny. That's why I call you.

What's the matter, Louise? Something bad lucky? I don't know. Maybe it's me.

Maybe I'm getting tired of being a detective wife. Hey, wait a minute. That doesn't sound like you.

I know, but something's wrong. He's been on a case and he had to go to San Francisco, or at least

that's what he told me. I haven't had one word not even a postcard in a week. That doesn't sound

like lucky. Maybe he's in trouble. The worst case, Johnny. Could I talk to you about it? Maybe I'm

all wrong, but I'd like to know. Yeah, sure, Louise. I'll be open about an hour. That's all right.

The makers of Brickley Spearman chewing gum bring you Edmund O'Brien in another adventure of

the man with the action packed expensive. America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator.
