Speaker 4 (02:09):
Dollar.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We allowed the entry of some narcotics from India into Seattle.
We've been trying to break up a big ring in
the Pacific Northwest, but the stuff didn't stay there. We
followed at South and the Beverly Hills.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Have you ever heard of Dorothy Rivers and Broadery Greens?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
The woman I think so? I saw her in a
couple of plays in New York, Didn't I.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yes, yes, that's the one. She's been out West for
the past two years making movies. Green's her husband, a director.
The narcotics went to them, well, to their house.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
At least they must have servants.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yes, yes they did, but that doesn't do us any good.
There were four of them, but three of them have
been just charged. They all had a hand in packing
the trunks for this London trip, so any one of
them or all of them could have packed the narcotics.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, sure that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We know they went into the house, but nothing has
come out with the trunks. And I searched the place
myself just before I flew east.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Why don't you want to We.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Cabled Scotland Yard and they told us there's been a
big increase in contraband over there in the past couple
of years.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
M you think this could be part of a pattern.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, it's possible, you see, because they need our dollars.
British customs make it a point to extend a lot
of courtesies to these visiting film celebrities. The stars always
arrived with a lot of belongings and usually.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
With the servant or two.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
In the case of Green and his wife, just one
a confidential secretary, A miss Miller, Lorraine Miller. She's traveling
with the trunks now.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I want you to get acquainted with there. That shouldn't
be too difficult.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Who's the policy with Standard Liability Company twenty thousand for
a two week period? That's a short term gamble. I
did pay the company to keep an eye on it.
Couldn't you use that?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It would depend on how young and susceptible this Miller
girl is.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Hm mm, she's young. Dollar I got close enough to
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Expense of count item two six hund ridden seventy five
dollars passage to England on the SS Marristown. Before boarding,
I received a few more bits of instruction by phone
from t MN Nelson.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
We've been in touch.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
With scovenyad again.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Dolla.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
They're assigning one of the best fend of the case
and Inspector Finch. He'll he'll arrange to meet you when
your ship docks.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
We send him a description, h Finch. Okay, what else? Well,
we still aren't sure.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
About the Miller girl, but her brother is going.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
On the same ship. That could happen.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
He's got a passport under another name. Miles Fanning. Now,
if you need help on the trip, the ships detect.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You is Clarence Dawn Dawn. Okay, I'll find him. Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Inspector Finch is in London and I'm flying.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Over in a few days. I'll find you.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Hey, Nelson, are you sure you trust me? I'll let
you know when we finished the stee expenser gun Item
three eight bar Bill. I met Lorraine Miller in a
(05:03):
small lounge on b deck as we left New York Harbon.
She struck me as being young all right, but susceptible
only when she wanted to be. She had a face
that didn't need much makeup and auburn hair that didn't
need much messing with. Her hazel eyes were white faced
and seemingly candid, but they didn't tell me whether or
not she knew who.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I really was.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
It must be an exciting job, travel a lot, meet
interesting people.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And I once better pig named Rollo who had eaten
a diamond bracelet. Really, mister Dallas, Hey, how long are
you going to be in England?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
About a year?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I guess the greens are going to make a picture
with somebody's frozen pounds. The smart thing to do you
know everybody who is anybody has.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Some frozen pounds. You don't like these people.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
If it shows it's because of the martini before lunch.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I'm glad you're here, so I am you traveling alone? Yeah,
but that's my line, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
But you have a cabin or a sweep cabin, and
it's my line.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I have a sweep.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I'll go take a nap and tub and you meet
me that five.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
It's a little bar, and I'll.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Order some things and you'll be able to get some
music on the.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Radio and have dinner there.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh, I really shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Hidden away from the rest of the people. Sound of
the ocean outside, you'll like it, And.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I could only be sure that mother won't worry about.
The cocktails were good, and so is the dinner. But
the radio was full of static, and as far as
my assignment went, the conversation was unsatisfactory. I learned a
lot about Lorraine Miller and a little about the Greens,
(06:39):
but none of it tied in with the case.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
The whole evening made it almost impossible.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
For me to suspect that she could be mixed up
with narcotics.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Until the fourth Brandy, what is it. Oh, no, no portal.
Somebody pushed it open.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
It flew off, and it startled me that.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Somebody pushed it. You saw him, You started to call
out his name.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
No, I didn't, Johnny start only so my mind was
a thousand.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Miles to call here and said Anne.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I'm sorry, Johnny, that was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Why don't you wanna tell me who it was? I
saw him too, now who you were afraid of?
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Don't ask me any more, Johnny.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But I want you to tell me all right?
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Do you wanna spoil everything with your stubborn crying? It
was my ex cousin who followed me before.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Now, if you'll please leave.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Johnny, I won't be able to.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
See you again.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Selfishly, I was sorry it had to happen, but it
meant progress. I knew it had been her brother outside
the porthole, and she was covering up for her. The
Portly boarding ship's detective, Claren Storm, was sporting a well
worn flannel bathrobe in congress gators when he led me
to his cabin a half hour later.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Ah, well, welcome onboard, Dolly. They killed me about hi.
I looked for you up in the ballroom.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I ain't never bothered with the ballroom first night out.
The con merchants are just picking their marks. The slick
gamblers are softening the suckers by letting them win nothing
you can get your teeth.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Into the first night out. Tomorrow, I go to work.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Sit thanks, but uh uh e customers told me you
might contact me. Always glad to help if I can

was twenty two. And see now that's the name. Do
you know anything about him? Now, let's see.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I keep a book names of some of the hot
ones that make the crossings. Any any Anny, Well, he's
not here. I don't know anything about him much, especially
well this trip he's using Ford's papers. Fanning's not his
real name.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Say, I'd better report that head. No, No, the federal
man want n'm let alone? Ye hot he could be

I like to know if he meets the girl A
number twelve, a deck Lorraine Miller, auburn hair, hazel eyes,
about five feet four, got it. I like to know

Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'll get word to the radio operators right now.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Thanks for the cooperation down. I'll check back with you
tomorrow night right.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I checked back with him on the following five nights,
and he had nothing to report. The days and evenings
I spent as casually as I could, and never once
saw the Miller girl. According to Dawn, she had her
meals in a cabin and never left it. Her brother
was pointed out to me, and I felt his eyes
on me now and then, so I knew he recognized me. Then,
the night before we would due to doc in Southampton,
(09:46):
I was surprised at my cabin by an unmistakably feminine knock.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
On the door.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
I think I owe you an apology.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Huh huh. I didn't expect this go on in now.
I'm sorry, Johnny. I wish I hadn't blown up. Why
did you? I don't know, I guess because well.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
It was hardly the time for an next husband to
come crawling around.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It was too bad.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Huh. The trip that turned out to be a lot
system turned into a big flop.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Have you enjoyed?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've met a lot of those interesting people breach players
that tennis players kind of asked the players fat old
gossips with jewels, drunks, nothing like that.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Excuse me, and this is down door? Uh uh oh yes,
missus Johnson. Huh huh oh you can't talk? Uh uh yes,
that's right. Oh ma itt short, they meant after dinner,
Fanny went to the Miller cabin.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Uh uh oh, I'm awfully selling, mister Johnson. I couldn't

Speaker 1 (11:05):
I hope to John, I really do.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Now I have to go.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I wanna get everything packed tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I poured myself a night cap after she'd left a
big one because I was confused. I didn't know why
she'd come, uh, how much she knew about the narcotics,
or how much she thought I knew. It was the
first drink I'd had in my cabin, out of my
own bottle, and it was the last. I felt that
the minute it was down, and there was nothing I
(11:38):
could do about it, But it was painless. The ship
seemed to roll more heavily, and I pitched forward toward
my bunk. After that, the ship could have sunk and
I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Have known about it.
Speaker 1 (12:01):

Amazing resistance.
Speaker 4 (13:04):

Speaker 3 (13:08):
I don't dare give him any more stipulant, inspector, but
this should bring him round.

and judd.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Uh oh the.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Girl, I'm afraid miss Miller has disembarked.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Uh huh hanning he's being followed by one of my men.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Mister Dollar, your system received a large amount of opiate,
enough to render you unconscious for almost twelve hours.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Do you know who administered it? We're in Southampton. Yes,
the girl give him I can have it. There was
a phone call, a phone call, sir ah. The ship's
detective had been giving me a hand eating his iron fanning.
I I wasn't watching it. You must have drugged the
whiskey while I was talking.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Uh, I was stupid. I shouldn't worry if I were you.
The situation is nicely under control. In the trunks all
route to the Green Residents. However, the men in the
lorry wither them from Scotland, John, they'd unpack them and
I assure you nothing would.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Pass on notice. Uh, nice going, inspector. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
We like to try now if you could raise yourself
and drink some of this coffee.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Alright, yeah, h shouldn't be this hard, naice the experience.
Hopefully it was at a coffee Yeah, splendid.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
When your feet is strong enough, would have an ambulance
move you to my flat.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You might rest there. We should have waited deep elephants.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Took a lot of coffee and a lot of time,
but by early afternoon we were in the Inspector's flat
waiting for the word.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
It came at four thirty. Yes, m huh, are you
quite positive?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I see?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I see very well, sug and returned to the yard.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I've found you there. If I need you, mister dollar,
is it possible as an error was committed on the
other side.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
If the narcotics never left there, they didn't find them,
no after meticular search or Treasury.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Is not gonna make a mistake like that where a
half million dollars worth the narcotics left the States?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
All right, perps are still on the ship. May have
got the wind up since you were aboard and this
card to the original plan.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I don't know. I suppose it's a though, right.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
I had to arrange for a search party at once, Inspector, who.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
In London would be able to buy this amount of narcotics?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
That question had occurred to me. The answer shouldn't be
too difficult to find preps. You'd care to accompany me
to my office while we try, We'd rather pride.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Ourselves about our efficiency.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Ten minutes after we got there, the ponderous machinery that
is Scotland Yard started grinding out files on criminals. They
were indexed according to every possible feature or characteristic. In
the space of two hours, we had the name of
every known narcotic suspect in London, and flying squad men
had been sent out to cover them for the first
report that came in was negative.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
The ship had been searched without success. Then the phone
rang again. Inspector Finch. Yes, yes he's here, mis Adella,
thank you. Oh this is Nelson Dollar. I just got in.
Oh good. Have you heard about the mass? I went
down to the ship. Don told me what happened to you?
(16:55):
Are you all right?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Sure, all right? But the stuff got through. It's through
someplace here in London. Loaded and the search by Scotland
yard man.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Nothing. What about the girl? He's being watched?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Anything on mile spanning all the yard's telling him too,
saying els and I.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Used, sure the narcotics were put aboard the ship. Positive.
But I'll uh, I'll get.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Right on the traffic planning phone and get somebody to
recheck the trail. I'm staying at the Empire. Call me
if something breaks.
Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah, right, treasury man, he's gonna check the states. Say
there's a slip.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Good hm, half a million dollars brother, a nuisance having that?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Uh, this might be something, yes, certainly. Why what do
I see? I see?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Yes, once see that a driver and the radio cars
that the main entrance would want to stay in touch.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Thank you? What was it? Any progress?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Most unpleasant progress.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
The constantly is signed to follow the chapel cours instead
of Penny has been shot to death. Uh, progress lies
on the fact that you're a ship detective. Fellow Clarence
Storm was killed at approximately at the same time Dawn.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yes, do you have a pistol?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Mister door Sun the chef the won't father going there.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I have to issue to us before we leave.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
I spoke the constable while before he died. Sir, he
said he heard shots and ran into the house. By
the time he reached the corridor, this fanning bloat was
leaving his room. He tried to stop him. I see
him fanning. He bolted out the back way, Sir.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Did he s head he was carrying anything?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
No, sir, he hold on a minute. That's what he
was trying to say, Port, he said before he died.
He was trying to say Portmanteau.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
It's still expensive drivers.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
The constable hopped down to the car like a good
chef and asked the surgeon to radio. In an addition
to the Fenning description, the fact that he's carrying a
traveling bag.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
That's hm.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Was this clarent Storm?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah? And I guess they answered were a few things.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Then Dawn carried the contraband here from the ship called
of Fenning over divisional Spoils was then shot by Fenning.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Would you say yes, that's exactly when I'd say, then
Fenning's are men would have to find him right, and
I could go to the Green Place talk to the
Miller girl inspector. Of course mm plans still you know,
I uh hm, how could I have themselves stupid? The
(19:45):
Green residence was dark when we arrived, and there was
no response to either the doorbell or our shouts. We
pulled up a few yards and while we waited, we
listened to the nervous talk between the radio cars that
becoming the city for the man.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
We called Panels of.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
The Man, answering defending inscriptions. You record of the square request,
flying swamp Menders building.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
That's three and a half hour we've been here. It
must be a million men in London who answer his description.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
And so we should have to question a million men?
Speaker 4 (20:11):
What is seven?
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Why four seventh? Why to one four B? Are you

Speaker 2 (21:22):
He wouldn't tell me after everything that's happened, after you've
lied to protect him.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
You're asking me to believe that you didn't know what
he was doing.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yes, I'm asking you to believe me.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
You don't have to.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
I haven't known anything about Jim since the war. Wasn't
my brother who came home with somebody else? Somebody'd be
ashamed of the stranger I gave money to so he'd
leave me alone, but he never did. It was the war.
What had he done this time?

Speaker 2 (22:02):
Telling the truth, it doesn't make any difference. The man's
a criminal. He has to be taken.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
I want you to tell me where he is.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
He's not my brother anymore. Thought doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
He's going to Tangier, how on a shipper of playing ship,
which one I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Y he's leaving at nine in the morning. If he doesn't,
he'll drag me into whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Accomplice, he said, But I don't care any more.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Well, mister Doller, what do you think of it? Inspector?
I don't think she was lying.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
We've got the same trouble here in England. Young boys
who found themselves fighting a war as children but no
more than grown up children, and one day they were
told they'd want it.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I've seen them.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
They can't cope with our rather sorry victory, and they
simply don't care. Loyalties mean nothing. They want money and
they don't care what they do to get it. Perhaps
you an American and I the Englishman.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Apostory to blaim.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Against the war is still with us, Inspected after use
her saying sergeant, yes, sir, I.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Want to know which ship is sailing in Patansia tomorrow
morning at.
Speaker 4 (23:12):

When you find out where she's docked, ask the yard
to contact mister Nelson.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Appear the Empire, the hotel Empire. Yes, I mean time, sergeant.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
You might drive towards Royal Albert Dock.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Right you are. The ship turned out to be the
City of Bombay.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Before we drew to a stop at Royal Albert Dock,
we passed through what must have been half of the
mobile police force of London and it's been Nelson's car.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yeah, there he is.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Come along, sergeant.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
We want you to stand guard to the gangway. Roger.
Hello there, Dollar. I was beginning to wonder if you'd
ever get there. It's only been ten minutes. Nelson. Uh,
this is Inspected Finch. It's got on the iron pleasure, sir.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
How do you do well, mister Dollar, mister Nelson, as
you're so quaintly put it on the other side.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
This is it?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You're sure he's there?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Oh quatcha? Yeah, we got a radio report and we
hope they've cleared the ship of everybody else. M you
might as well go right you are. I'm ready, mister Dollar,
it's up to you. Thanks, you're there. Is mister Fanning aboard?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Why he's aboard?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Stay here, Sergeant Rock here you received word from Scotland
John I did.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Then you'll allow us to come aboard after him. You
can come aboard. He knows you've come. He's got a gun.
Where is he? He went for it on deck? Everything
below he's closed off. Very good.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I can find him up this way that's so wide.
There's a wind up pull a good protection. Come behind much, Hey,
Mela Fanning, whatever you call yourself, come on out. We've
(25:17):
got the Treasury Department in Scotland yard here, so come
on out.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
He won't do it. He won't tell her. It's too
late for him. I got across over to the other
side while you cover me, may draw him out. Are
we ready?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
We'd light move down here. This is good, good, luck.
Respect him, use your head, Meler, come on out there, you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Go pull the boat.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Don't let him get out of work.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Respect the Finch, yep Nelson, Yes, yes you are yeh.
What about him?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
He's dead Dollar. We can search his cabin now.

The traveling bag with its half million dollar contents was
just inside Fanning's door. Expense account Item four same as
item two, transportation back to the States and heart. I
saw Lorraine Miller once before I left, and I made
her a promise. I hope Inspector Finch will.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Be able to keep that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Only the name Fanning would make the official records in
the front page, because the name Miller had already gotten
more than it deserved. Expense account total fifteen hundred eighty
dollars and twenty cents. Yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. Remember friends.

is an accounting of my expenditures during investigation of the
London matter. Nanscount item one and a dollar seventy five
cave fired a Commonwealth hotel.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I'll give you the background as briefly as I can.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Dollar.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
We allowed the entry of some narcotics from India into Seattle.
We've been trying to break up a big ring in
the Pacific Northwest, but the stuff didn't stay there. We
followed at South and the Beverly Hills.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
Have you ever heard of Dorothy Rivers and Broadery Greens?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
The woman I think so? I saw her in a
couple of plays in New York, Didn't I.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yes, yes, that's the one. She's been out West for
the past two years making movies. Green's her husband, a director.
The narcotics went to them, well, to their house.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
At least they must have servants.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Yes, yes they did, but that doesn't do us any good.
There were four of them, but three of them have
been just charged. They all had a hand in packing
the trunks for this London trip, so any one of
them or all of them could have packed the narcotics.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Yeah, sure that's what happened.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
We know they went into the house, but nothing has
come out with the trunks. And I searched the place
myself just before I flew east.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Why don't you want to We.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Cabled Scotland Yard and they told us there's been a
big increase in contraband over there in the past couple
of years.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
M you think this could be part of a pattern.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Well, it's possible, you see, because they need our dollars.
British customs make it a point to extend a lot
of courtesies to these visiting film celebrities. The stars always
arrived with a lot of belongings and usually.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
With the servant or two.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
In the case of Green and his wife, just one
a confidential secretary, A miss Miller, Lorraine Miller. She's traveling
with the trunks now.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
I want you to get acquainted with there. That shouldn't
be too difficult.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Who's the policy with Standard Liability Company twenty thousand for
a two week period? That's a short term gamble. I
did pay the company to keep an eye on it.
Couldn't you use that?
Speaker 4 (03:45):
Well?
Speaker 2 (03:45):
It would depend on how young and susceptible this Miller
girl is.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
Hm mm, she's young. Dollar I got close enough to
appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
Expense of count item two six hund ridden seventy five
dollars passage to England on the SS Marristown. Before boarding,
I received a few more bits of instruction by phone
from t MN Nelson.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
We've been in touch.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
With scovenyad again.
Speaker 4 (04:11):
Dolla.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
They're assigning one of the best fend of the case
and Inspector Finch. He'll he'll arrange to meet you when
your ship docks.
Speaker 4 (04:18):
We send him a description, h Finch. Okay, what else? Well,
we still aren't sure.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
About the Miller girl, but her brother is going.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
On the same ship. That could happen.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
He's got a passport under another name. Miles Fanning. Now,
if you need help on the trip, the ships detect.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
You is Clarence Dawn Dawn. Okay, I'll find him. Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
Inspector Finch is in London and I'm flying.
Speaker 4 (04:40):
Over in a few days. I'll find you.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Hey, Nelson, are you sure you trust me? I'll let
you know when we finished the stee expenser gun Item
three eight bar Bill. I met Lorraine Miller in a
(05:03):
small lounge on b deck as we left New York Harbon.
She struck me as being young all right, but susceptible
only when she wanted to be. She had a face
that didn't need much makeup and auburn hair that didn't
need much messing with. Her hazel eyes were white faced
and seemingly candid, but they didn't tell me whether or
not she knew who.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
I really was.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
It must be an exciting job, travel a lot, meet
interesting people.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
And I once better pig named Rollo who had eaten
a diamond bracelet. Really, mister Dallas, Hey, how long are
you going to be in England?
Speaker 4 (05:37):
About a year?
Speaker 5 (05:38):
I guess the greens are going to make a picture
with somebody's frozen pounds. The smart thing to do you
know everybody who is anybody has.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Some frozen pounds. You don't like these people.
Speaker 5 (05:49):
If it shows it's because of the martini before lunch.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
I'm glad you're here, so I am you traveling alone? Yeah,
but that's my line, isn't it.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
But you have a cabin or a sweep cabin, and
it's my line.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
I have a sweep.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
I'll go take a nap and tub and you meet
me that five.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
It's a little bar, and I'll.
Speaker 6 (06:08):
Order some things and you'll be able to get some
music on the.
Speaker 5 (06:10):
Radio and have dinner there.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Oh, I really shouldn't.
Speaker 5 (06:12):
Hidden away from the rest of the people. Sound of
the ocean outside, you'll like it, And.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I could only be sure that mother won't worry about.
The cocktails were good, and so is the dinner. But
the radio was full of static, and as far as
my assignment went, the conversation was unsatisfactory. I learned a
lot about Lorraine Miller and a little about the Greens,
(06:39):
but none of it tied in with the case.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
The whole evening made it almost impossible.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
For me to suspect that she could be mixed up
with narcotics.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Until the fourth Brandy, what is it. Oh, no, no portal.
Somebody pushed it open.
Speaker 5 (06:53):
It flew off, and it startled me that.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Somebody pushed it. You saw him, You started to call
out his name.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
No, I didn't, Johnny start only so my mind was
a thousand.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
Miles to call here and said Anne.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
I'm sorry, Johnny, that was ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Why don't you wanna tell me who it was? I
saw him too, now who you were afraid of?
Speaker 6 (07:10):
Don't ask me any more, Johnny.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But I want you to tell me all right?
Speaker 5 (07:14):
Do you wanna spoil everything with your stubborn crying? It
was my ex cousin who followed me before.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Now, if you'll please leave.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Johnny, I won't be able to.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
See you again.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Selfishly, I was sorry it had to happen, but it
meant progress. I knew it had been her brother outside
the porthole, and she was covering up for her. The
Portly boarding ship's detective, Claren Storm, was sporting a well
worn flannel bathrobe in congress gators when he led me
to his cabin a half hour later.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
Ah, well, welcome onboard, Dolly. They killed me about hi.
I looked for you up in the ballroom.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I ain't never bothered with the ballroom first night out.
The con merchants are just picking their marks. The slick
gamblers are softening the suckers by letting them win nothing
you can get your teeth.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Into the first night out. Tomorrow, I go to work.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Sit thanks, but uh uh e customers told me you
might contact me. Always glad to help if I can
thank you. There's a passenger of board name of Miles Fanning.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Fanny.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
You know I got a couplicate list here stuff pase, uh.
Speaker 4 (08:21):
Yeah, yeah, bag a fell Fanning, Miles T. Fanning. That
was twenty two. And see now that's the name. Do
you know anything about him? Now, let's see.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I keep a book names of some of the hot
ones that make the crossings. Any any Anny, Well, he's
not here. I don't know anything about him much, especially
well this trip he's using Ford's papers. Fanning's not his
real name.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
Say, I'd better report that head. No, No, the federal
man want n'm let alone? Ye hot he could be
Oh yeah, can't let me in out of huh? I
know Howiday. I wish you'd pick 'em out tomorrow. I
keep your eye on 'em for me.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Go absolutely glad to help anything, specially you want HM.
I like to know if he meets the girl A
number twelve, a deck Lorraine Miller, auburn hair, hazel eyes,
about five feet four, got it. I like to know
if he sends any cables I head to London. Like
to see copies if I could.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
I'll get word to the radio operators right now.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
Thanks for the cooperation down. I'll check back with you
tomorrow night right.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
I checked back with him on the following five nights,
and he had nothing to report. The days and evenings
I spent as casually as I could, and never once
saw the Miller girl. According to Dawn, she had her
meals in a cabin and never left it. Her brother
was pointed out to me, and I felt his eyes
on me now and then, so I knew he recognized me. Then,
the night before we would due to doc in Southampton,
(09:46):
I was surprised at my cabin by an unmistakably feminine knock.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
On the door.
Speaker 5 (09:56):
I think I owe you an apology.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
Huh huh. I didn't expect this go on in now.
I'm sorry, Johnny. I wish I hadn't blown up. Why
did you? I don't know, I guess because well.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
It was hardly the time for an next husband to
come crawling around.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
It was too bad.
Speaker 5 (10:14):
Huh. The trip that turned out to be a lot
system turned into a big flop.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
Have you enjoyed?
Speaker 7 (10:21):
Uh?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I've met a lot of those interesting people breach players
that tennis players kind of asked the players fat old
gossips with jewels, drunks, nothing like that.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
Excuse me, and this is down door? Uh uh oh yes,
missus Johnson. Huh huh oh you can't talk? Uh uh yes,
that's right. Oh ma itt short, they meant after dinner,
Fanny went to the Miller cabin.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Uh uh oh, I'm awfully selling, mister Johnson. I couldn't
make it tonight a of previous engagement, but thanks for calling.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
I'll stay on.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
I'm'a see you later.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Uh. I hope you find somebody night. That was one
of them. Could I feel in a contract? Mister Johnson
is Sea sick?
Speaker 5 (10:59):
We can get together in London.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
That sounds fine. I think we can work it out.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I hope to John, I really do.
Speaker 6 (11:09):
Now I have to go.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
I wanna get everything packed tonight.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
I poured myself a night cap after she'd left a
big one because I was confused. I didn't know why
she'd come, uh, how much she knew about the narcotics,
or how much she thought I knew. It was the
first drink I'd had in my cabin, out of my
own bottle, and it was the last. I felt that
the minute it was down, and there was nothing I
(11:38):
could do about it, But it was painless. The ship
seemed to roll more heavily, and I pitched forward toward
my bunk. After that, the ship could have sunk and
I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Have known about it.
Speaker 1 (12:01):

of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
I don't know, I don't know. Great shock to the system, Yes,
he's best. I must be a silliest amount of opiate.
Amazing resistance.
Speaker 4 (13:04):
Well we'll try that.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
I don't dare give him any more stipulant, inspector, but
this should bring him round.
Speaker 4 (13:13):
Rather than pleasant arrival. What you have? Yes, that did
the trick. Now I'll lead him to you. Inspect that
eve be awake, but don't expect too much. Uh yes,
just of course, thank you, though, mister dollar. Mister Dollar,
can you hear me?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
Sir?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
Huh huh. You must try to stay awake.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
Can you open your eyes? The chief inspector fincher scuff
and judd.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
Uh oh the.
Speaker 6 (13:37):
Girl, I'm afraid miss Miller has disembarked.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
Uh huh hanning he's being followed by one of my men.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
Mister Dollar, your system received a large amount of opiate,
enough to render you unconscious for almost twelve hours.
Speaker 4 (13:51):
Do you know who administered it? We're in Southampton. Yes,
the girl give him I can have it. There was
a phone call, a phone call, sir ah. The ship's
detective had been giving me a hand eating his iron fanning.
I I wasn't watching it. You must have drugged the
whiskey while I was talking.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
Uh, I was stupid. I shouldn't worry if I were you.
The situation is nicely under control. In the trunks all
route to the Green Residents. However, the men in the
lorry wither them from Scotland, John, they'd unpack them and
I assure you nothing would.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Pass on notice. Uh, nice going, inspector. Thank you, sir.
Speaker 6 (14:28):
We like to try now if you could raise yourself
and drink some of this coffee.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Alright, yeah, h shouldn't be this hard, naice the experience.
Hopefully it was at a coffee Yeah, splendid.
Speaker 6 (14:46):
When your feet is strong enough, would have an ambulance
move you to my flat.
Speaker 4 (14:49):
You might rest there. We should have waited deep elephants.
Speaker 2 (14:58):
Took a lot of coffee and a lot of time,
but by early afternoon we were in the Inspector's flat
waiting for the word.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
It came at four thirty. Yes, m huh, are you
quite positive?
Speaker 2 (15:19):
I see?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
I see very well, sug and returned to the yard.
Speaker 6 (15:22):
I've found you there. If I need you, mister dollar,
is it possible as an error was committed on the
other side.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
If the narcotics never left there, they didn't find them,
no after meticular search or Treasury.
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Is not gonna make a mistake like that where a
half million dollars worth the narcotics left the States?
Speaker 6 (15:39):
All right, perps are still on the ship. May have
got the wind up since you were aboard and this
card to the original plan.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
I don't know. I suppose it's a though, right.
Speaker 6 (15:46):
I had to arrange for a search party at once, Inspector, who.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
In London would be able to buy this amount of narcotics?
Speaker 6 (15:52):
That question had occurred to me. The answer shouldn't be
too difficult to find preps. You'd care to accompany me
to my office while we try, We'd rather pride.
Speaker 4 (16:01):
Ourselves about our efficiency.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Ten minutes after we got there, the ponderous machinery that
is Scotland Yard started grinding out files on criminals. They
were indexed according to every possible feature or characteristic. In
the space of two hours, we had the name of
every known narcotic suspect in London, and flying squad men
had been sent out to cover them for the first
report that came in was negative.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
The ship had been searched without success. Then the phone
rang again. Inspector Finch. Yes, yes he's here, mis Adella,
thank you. Oh this is Nelson Dollar. I just got in.
Oh good. Have you heard about the mass? I went
down to the ship. Don told me what happened to you?
(16:55):
Are you all right?
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Sure, all right? But the stuff got through. It's through
someplace here in London. Loaded and the search by Scotland
yard man.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
Nothing. What about the girl? He's being watched?
Speaker 2 (17:04):
Anything on mile spanning all the yard's telling him too,
saying els and I.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
Used, sure the narcotics were put aboard the ship. Positive.
But I'll uh, I'll get.

recheck the trail. I'm staying at the Empire. Call me

Speaker 4 (17:18):
Yeah, right, treasury man, he's gonna check the states. Say
there's a slip.
Speaker 6 (17:24):
Good hm, half a million dollars brother, a nuisance having that?
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Uh, this might be something, yes, certainly. Why what do
I see? I see?
Speaker 6 (17:39):
Yes, once see that a driver and the radio cars
that the main entrance would want to stay in touch.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
Thank you? What was it? Any progress?
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Most unpleasant progress.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
The constantly is signed to follow the chapel cours instead
of Penny has been shot to death. Uh, progress lies
on the fact that you're a ship detective. Fellow Clarence
Storm was killed at approximately at the same time Dawn.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yes, do you have a pistol?
Speaker 6 (18:04):
Mister door Sun the chef the won't father going there.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
I have to issue to us before we leave.
Speaker 7 (18:19):
I spoke the constable while before he died. Sir, he
said he heard shots and ran into the house. By
the time he reached the corridor, this fanning bloat was
leaving his room. He tried to stop him. I see
him fanning. He bolted out the back way, Sir.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Did he s head he was carrying anything?
Speaker 7 (18:34):
No, sir, he hold on a minute. That's what he
was trying to say, Port, he said before he died.
He was trying to say Portmanteau.

It's still expensive drivers.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yes.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
The constable hopped down to the car like a good
chef and asked the surgeon to radio. In an addition
to the Fenning description, the fact that he's carrying a
traveling bag.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
That's hm.
Speaker 6 (19:03):
Was this clarent Storm?
Speaker 4 (19:05):
Yeah? And I guess they answered were a few things.
Speaker 6 (19:10):
Then Dawn carried the contraband here from the ship called
of Fenning over divisional Spoils was then shot by Fenning.
Speaker 2 (19:15):
Would you say yes, that's exactly when I'd say, then
Fenning's are men would have to find him right, and
I could go to the Green Place talk to the
Miller girl inspector. Of course mm plans still you know,
I uh hm, how could I have themselves stupid? The
(19:45):
Green residence was dark when we arrived, and there was
no response to either the doorbell or our shouts. We
pulled up a few yards and while we waited, we
listened to the nervous talk between the radio cars that
becoming the city for the man.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
We called Panels of.
Speaker 3 (19:58):
The Man, answering defending inscriptions. You record of the square request,
flying swamp Menders building.
Speaker 2 (20:05):
That's three and a half hour we've been here. It
must be a million men in London who answer his description.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
And so we should have to question a million men?
Speaker 4 (20:11):

Speaker 3 (20:12):

Speaker 4 (20:45):
Switch off the receiver. Yes, as a car looks like
it's stopping, it's a taxi as she is. Come on, inspector,
but let me do the talking when you let you
all Lorraine? Who is it? Johnny?
Speaker 5 (21:09):
Johnny?
Speaker 4 (21:09):
Where had he been? Where is he? Lawrene?
Speaker 5 (21:11):
What happened to you? I look for you when we
were docking. I came to your cabin and knock stop it?
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Where is he? Your brother?
Speaker 3 (21:16):
Johnny?
Speaker 4 (21:16):
Come on? Where is he?
Speaker 5 (21:18):
What has he done this time?
Speaker 4 (21:19):
What'd you say?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
What has Jim done?
Speaker 4 (21:21):
You know what he's done?
Speaker 5 (21:22):
No, I'd I don't.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
He wouldn't tell me after everything that's happened, after you've
lied to protect him.
Speaker 4 (21:26):
You're asking me to believe that you didn't know what
he was doing.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yes, I'm asking you to believe me.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
You don't have to.
Speaker 5 (21:34):
I haven't known anything about Jim since the war. Wasn't
my brother who came home with somebody else? Somebody'd be
ashamed of the stranger I gave money to so he'd
leave me alone, but he never did. It was the war.
What had he done this time?
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Tell me, Lorraine, he knew you were coming to London. Yes,
you saw him wile you were getting ready to leave.
Speaker 5 (21:57):
Needed money. I hired him to help with the package.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Where is he, Lorraine?
Speaker 5 (22:01):
I gotta writ to know what he's done.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Telling the truth, it doesn't make any difference. The man's
a criminal. He has to be taken.
Speaker 4 (22:06):
I want you to tell me where he is.
Speaker 5 (22:09):
He's not my brother anymore. Thought doesn't matter.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
He's going to Tangier, how on a shipper of playing ship,
which one I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 5 (22:18):
Y he's leaving at nine in the morning. If he doesn't,
he'll drag me into whatever it is.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Accomplice, he said, But I don't care any more.
Speaker 5 (22:28):
I don't care.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
Well, mister Doller, what do you think of it? Inspector?
I don't think she was lying.
Speaker 6 (22:38):
We've got the same trouble here in England. Young boys
who found themselves fighting a war as children but no
more than grown up children, and one day they were
told they'd want it.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I've seen them.
Speaker 6 (22:49):
They can't cope with our rather sorry victory, and they
simply don't care. Loyalties mean nothing. They want money and
they don't care what they do to get it. Perhaps
you an American and I the Englishman.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Apostory to blaim.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
Against the war is still with us, Inspected after use
her saying sergeant, yes, sir, I.

morning at.

Speaker 6 (23:13):
When you find out where she's docked, ask the yard
to contact mister Nelson.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
Appear the Empire, the hotel Empire. Yes, I mean time, sergeant.
Speaker 6 (23:19):
You might drive towards Royal Albert Dock.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
Right you are. The ship turned out to be the
City of Bombay.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Before we drew to a stop at Royal Albert Dock,
we passed through what must have been half of the
mobile police force of London and it's been Nelson's car.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Yeah, there he is.
Speaker 6 (23:50):
Come along, sergeant.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
We want you to stand guard to the gangway. Roger.
Hello there, Dollar. I was beginning to wonder if you'd
ever get there. It's only been ten minutes. Nelson. Uh,
this is Inspected Finch. It's got on the iron pleasure, sir.
Speaker 6 (24:02):
How do you do well, mister Dollar, mister Nelson, as
you're so quaintly put it on the other side.
Speaker 4 (24:08):
This is it?
Speaker 3 (24:09):
You're sure he's there?
Speaker 4 (24:10):
Oh quatcha? Yeah, we got a radio report and we
hope they've cleared the ship of everybody else. M you
might as well go right you are. I'm ready, mister Dollar,
it's up to you. Thanks, you're there. Is mister Fanning aboard?
Speaker 3 (24:35):
Why he's aboard?
Speaker 6 (24:37):
Stay here, Sergeant Rock here you received word from Scotland
John I did.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
Then you'll allow us to come aboard after him. You
can come aboard. He knows you've come. He's got a gun.
Where is he? He went for it on deck? Everything
below he's closed off. Very good.

I can find him up this way that's so wide.
There's a wind up pull a good protection. Come behind much, Hey,
Mela Fanning, whatever you call yourself, come on out. We've
(25:17):
got the Treasury Department in Scotland yard here, so come
on out.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
He won't do it. He won't tell her. It's too
late for him. I got across over to the other
side while you cover me, may draw him out. Are
we ready?
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Wait?
Speaker 4 (25:33):
We'd light move down here. This is good, good, luck.
Respect him, use your head, Meler, come on out there, you.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Go pull the boat.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Don't let him get out of work.
Speaker 2 (25:55):

What about him?
Speaker 4 (26:02):
He's dead Dollar. We can search his cabin now.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
The traveling bag with its half million dollar contents was
just inside Fanning's door. Expense account Item four same as
item two, transportation back to the States and heart. I
saw Lorraine Miller once before I left, and I made
her a promise. I hope Inspector Finch will.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Be able to keep that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
Only the name Fanning would make the official records in
the front page, because the name Miller had already gotten
more than it deserved. Expense account total fifteen hundred eighty
dollars and twenty cents. Yours, truly, Johnny Dollar. Remember friends.
