January 16th and 17th of 1956, and the title is the Ricardo Amarigo Matter Episodes 1 and 2.

From Hollywood it's time now for Johnny Dollar. John, this is Harry Branson, a Philadelphia Mutual.

Harry, what are you doing in town? I'm not. At least not in your town. But you've got a case for me.

Do you know anything about violins? Oh, don't tell me. So he opened up his fiddle case and out came

a submachine gun, that it. John, that technique went out with prohibition. Now seriously this case

contains a genuine amati. Good, what's an amati? One of the finest most expensive violins ever made.

This one was insured for $30,000. Was? Yes, now someone has defined it for us. What's more?

Okay, Harry, I'm on my way.

Tonight and every week day night, Bob Bailey in the transcribed adventures of the man with the

action-packed expensive art, America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator. Yours,

truly? Johnny Dollar.
