Speaker 2 (00:08):
Loa Chase, Johnny, hang up Dollar, Johnny, Are you there?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Yeah, yeah, I'm here.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
But right now I can think of a lot of
places i'd rather be said. There's someone there with you. Tom.
It is Tom, isn't it. I'm coming over.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
No, don't do it.
Speaker 3 (00:23):
I'm coming out.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
He has a gun and he means business tonight and
every weekday night.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
Bob Bailey in the transcribed Adventures of the Man with
the Action Packed Expenser Card America's Fabulous Freelance Insurance Investigators.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Truly Johnny Dollar. From Special Investigator Johnny Dollar, location, Barbados,
British West Indies to the Home Office Universal Adjustment Bureau, Hertford, Connecticut.
(01:05):
Assignment the Phantom Chase matter expense account continued, Oh, item
twenty eight, Well a long about then. I figured this
item would be around two hundred bucks burial expenses for me.
Tom Chase was desperate, tired of running, and ready to
take me off his trail for keeps. But Lola Chase's
(01:25):
phone called me seemed to have a strange effect on him.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
That was my wife was yeah, that was a lie.
Why'd you drag her? Into the Starllars.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
I didn't Chase. She insisted on coming here to Barbados herself.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Wellhy couldn't she stay out of it? I suppose because
she's your wife. That's all over.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, I figured that when I found out it was
a woman who arranged your height out in New Orleans.
That's all over too, turnsur real, sewer.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
There's nothing left for me, I love, Chase.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
There's only one thing for you to do. Turn yourself in.
Turn over what's left the money, and.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
You'll wait for that dollar. There's only one thing left.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Wait a minute. Killing me is not going to do
any good, Chase. Somebody else will take over and keep
after you until they get you.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And they will get you sooner or later. You can
count on it. I know they'll keep coming after me.
I can't run any more. Dollar. I won't take it
any more from you or anybody. I just won't take
it all.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
I never thought i'd be glad to get hit on
the head, but just before I blacked out, I remember
being very happy that it wasn't the bullet in the back.
I'd been expecting it. I don't know how long I
was out, but when I came to Lola Chase and
George Everson were bending over.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
Are you all right, Johnny? Oh?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Yeah, I guess so o. Brother, My head feels like
it was on a pogo stick. What happened, mister dollery?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Chase was waiting for me here in my hotel room
with a gun. Why did he come here for a
very good reason to take me off his trail? For keeps?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
No? Yes, but when you phone Lola, it seemed a
time of a notch to learn that you were here
in Barbados. He started talking wildly, mister Dollar. Lola, and
I'd still like to try the plan I mentioned to
you all now hear me out.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
We could just be wasting your breath.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
Evers, and Tom Chase is not about to turn himself
in now or ever. I still don't get it, though,
Get what why he didn't kill me just now? And
why he didn't kill me before in the waterfront warehouse
or on Lagos Island. He had plenty of chances. It's
almost as if, yes, I'll skip it. Everson, Suppose you
(03:38):
take Lola back to her hotel. I'm gonna check with
police inspector.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
What's the time.
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Well, what you tell me, mister Dollar? I'd say Chase
is just about the breaking point. Yeah, that's why we've
got to track him down fast before he loses his
head completely. Oh, they're continuing our trick of hortels and
rooming houses. I didn't think there's anything else he can
do for the moment. Excuse me, what's it here? Yes,
in just a moment for you and mister Donner.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Oh. Thanks, Hello, it's Lola, Johnny.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
He was just here, Chase, swear here at my hotel cottage.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Please come quickly, Johnny.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
I'll be there in ten minutes. I made it an eight.
Lola was still trembling with.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Horrible He was talking wild crazy. You see which way
you went? Yes, I got to the window in time
to see him drive off toward the mountains. Johnny, we've
got to find me. Needs out of his mind.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
We piled into the car and took off after Chase
up a twisting, steep mountain road.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Tell me what happened?
Speaker 3 (04:43):
What do you say?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I've never seen him like that before, Johnny. He's sick.
The things he said, like what? Then it was all over.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
There was nothing left for him that he just wanted
to see me.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Once more before before once he didn't see. But Johnny,
we can't take these turns on faster.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
I begged him to turn himself in, that he wished
he could for my sake, but that he couldn't.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Look, Lola, maybe he just took this route to cross
the island.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
The way he was talking, Johnny, I don't think he
was trying to get across the island. Look up ahead,
that's the car he was driving. Park beside the road,
next to a cliff. Yeah, all right, Lola, you'd better
stay right here in the car.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Yes, I guess i'd rather.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
I walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down.
His body was crumbled up on the rocks below. I
climbed down. He was dead, all smashed up. It wasn't pretty.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
I climbed back to my car.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Lola just looked at me with the big question in
her eyes.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
All I did was not. All she did was slump
over on the seat.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
I drove her back to her hotel and phoned Inspector
wit'st and I went back to him. My hotel expense
account had him twenty nine three dollars drinks for me.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
I thought about a lot.
Speaker 3 (06:07):
Of things about Tom Chase, who'd had everything in his
favor back in New York, but who'd embezzled one hundred
and twenty thousand, had killed a man in New Orleans
for trying to turn him in, but who hadn't killed
me for trying the same thing, and who ended up
at the bottom of a cliff in Barbados. I thought
about Alola would come a long way for nothing except
(06:27):
the final heartache, And I thought about me, who would also.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Come a long way for nothing period.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
The next day I dropped in on Inspector Weston at
police headquarters. Well, Dollar, i've missed you. I sort of
took time out for a while. Inspector, I don't wonder. Yeah,
this is Chase, of course, identified the buddy. The inquest
was this morning led suicide Burys this afternoon hearing Barbados.
(06:58):
At first missus. Chase wanted to take the bought it
back to New York, but mister Everson felt that that
would just be adding another painful experience to those who'd
already been through.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
Him.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Well, I still don't have the money, Chase him besel
Inspector him. No, and off hand, I'd say, what chances
are finding it? We're not too good? Did you find
anything at all in Chase's pockets that might give me
a lead. Oh, just the usual loose change, his wallet, cigarettes,
some matches, a co book matches. Yeah, from the waterfront bar.
We'll let me see him, inspector. It's not much, but
(07:30):
it's the only thing I've got to go on. I
went down to the waterfront bar named on the match
folder and started calling the neighborhood. I checked every hotel
and rooming house. Three hours later, I was about ready
to give up, and then I found it. Yep, Chase's
last hide on. I searched his room, but the money
wasn't there. I went back to the desk and checked
(07:53):
the register again, trying to find out if a woman
had checked in about the same time Chase had no soap.
But then I out the sample of Chase's writing that
Everson had given me a New York and I compared
it to chase the signature on the register. A few
wild ideas started chasing themselves around in my brain, ideas
that began to fall into a crazy pattern. Adam thirty
twelve to sixty long distance phone called at the home
(08:14):
office of Universal Adjustment in Hyfrid. I asked Pat McCracken
to run then air informing. Three hours later, we called
back from New York City with the answer, yep, I'd
come all the way to Barbados, but the case got
solved in New York. I phoned Lulla and Everson and
asked them to come to the cemetery. Fifteen minutes later
we met at the freshly turned grave. Mister Dollar, I
(08:34):
must say, you're not being considered the flower. I'm sure
you realize it. Coming back to Tom's grave here's the
most painful experience.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
For I'm sure you had a good reason. Johnny, Yeah, yeah,
I did.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
I wanted both of you to know what a jerk.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
I've been in this investigation.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Don't say that you've done everything that could be done,
and I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, thanks, Lola.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But you see, for almost two weeks now, from New
York to New Orleans to Barbados here, I've been chasing
a dead man, right, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I think you understand real well. I look here.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
If this is some kind of a joke, it's in
very poor takee It's no joke. I've got a hand
it to you both, though you engineered the whole deal
with just two people.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Dropped the act, Lollah, the faithful grieving wife. You had
me fool but good look, Dollar, You told me you
took a trip alone about the time Tom was arrested. Lola,
Oh that was true, but it wasn't to Martha's vineyard.
You went down to New Orleans and rented a rum
under the name of Tom James. You were the other
woman I was looking for.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
That's a lie. You don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Dollar and I Freddy Quintana in New Orleans showed me
a letter Chase was supposed to have written. It matched
the sample of Chase's writing you'd given me a New
York Everson.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Well, of course it did.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That proves it proves that the sample you gave me
in New York wasn't Chase's writing. I just checked my
long distance phone. What. Oh, yes, Freddy Quintanna played his
quite real well. But what he didn't know was he
was going to get paid off with a bullet. That
was the day you turned up the New Orleans Lulla to.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Kill him and shut his mouth. Dollar, let him finish.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh, there's not much more. You hired the second guy
to pose as your husband and lead me a merry chase.
That explains why he didn't kill me and why I
was always able to pick up his trail. Again, I
was supposed to. That's the way you were playing it.
And all the time the real Tom Chase was dead.
You probably killed him back in New York when he
was supposed to, jumped bail and disappeared. Are you throw
(10:31):
dollar almost except for the money? You are the embezzler, Everson.
It was you who juggled the accounts, and after I
ran into a dead end down here with a fake
Chase's death, you and Molla could live happily ever afterward
with the dog go on. Of course, the fellow you
hired to pose his chase didn't realize he was going
to get paid off the same way Contana was. What
(10:52):
are you talking about the way you helped him over
that cliff, Everson, to make it look like suicide. How
did you know I probably wouldn't have tumbled to it
if I hadn't checked his hand writing. Of course, you
can't any of this, like to exhume the body, ship
it back to New York and pool that it isn't
the real time chase. The body state where it is
dollar Oh, put that gun down, Everson. They already know
most of the story.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
In New York.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You're bluff and why don't you call the bluff and
find out.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I think he's telling the truth, George. In that case, yes,
you better take care of him. Not we, Lola, not anymore.
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I think we'd better just dissolve the partnership.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Don't try anything like that, George. This was our idea together,
and you're in it as deep as I am.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And that's why I'm leaving, Lola. I wish it had
worked out, but as long as it do, can't do that.
You've got the money exactly. They both went for Everson
at the same moment. The shot spunner around and crumple her.
I grabbed a gun from Everson. I'm afraid it's not serious, Lolla.
If his aim had been better, he'd have done you
(11:53):
a favor. One thing I still don't get. Your husband
wouldn't make any statement after his arrest. That means to
me he knew what you were up to, and he
loved you so much he was willing to take the rap.
Tell me this, Lola, why did you marry the poor
guy in the first place. Expenser count total seventeen and
(12:17):
twenty three dollars. Lola and Everson were turned over to
the authorities, and Everson gave up the key to a
safe deposit box in New York where the embezzle money
had been all the time. It also showed us the
deserted spot on Long Island where he and Lola had
hidden the body of the real Tom Chase remarks, Dear pat,

Speaker 3 (08:58):
But you see, for almost two weeks now, from New
York to New Orleans to Barbados here, I've been chasing
a dead man, right, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
I think you understand real well. I look here.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
If this is some kind of a joke, it's in
very poor takee It's no joke. I've got a hand
it to you both, though you engineered the whole deal
with just two people.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
What are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
Dropped the act, Lollah, the faithful grieving wife. You had
me fool but good look, Dollar, You told me you
took a trip alone about the time Tom was arrested. Lola,
Oh that was true, but it wasn't to Martha's vineyard.
You went down to New Orleans and rented a rum
under the name of Tom James. You were the other
woman I was looking for.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
That's a lie. You don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
Dollar and I Freddy Quintana in New Orleans showed me
a letter Chase was supposed to have written. It matched
the sample of Chase's writing you'd given me a New
York Everson.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Well, of course it did.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
That proves it proves that the sample you gave me
in New York wasn't Chase's writing. I just checked my
long distance phone. What. Oh, yes, Freddy Quintanna played his
quite real well. But what he didn't know was he
was going to get paid off with a bullet. That
was the day you turned up the New Orleans Lulla to.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Kill him and shut his mouth. Dollar, let him finish.
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Oh, there's not much more. You hired the second guy
to pose as your husband and lead me a merry chase.
That explains why he didn't kill me and why I
was always able to pick up his trail. Again, I
was supposed to. That's the way you were playing it.
And all the time the real Tom Chase was dead.
You probably killed him back in New York when he
was supposed to, jumped bail and disappeared. Are you throw
(10:31):
dollar almost except for the money? You are the embezzler, Everson.
It was you who juggled the accounts, and after I
ran into a dead end down here with a fake
Chase's death, you and Molla could live happily ever afterward
with the dog go on. Of course, the fellow you
hired to pose his chase didn't realize he was going
to get paid off the same way Contana was. What
(10:52):
are you talking about the way you helped him over
that cliff, Everson, to make it look like suicide. How
did you know I probably wouldn't have tumbled to it
if I hadn't checked his hand writing. Of course, you
can't any of this, like to exhume the body, ship
it back to New York and pool that it isn't
the real time chase. The body state where it is
dollar Oh, put that gun down, Everson. They already know
most of the story.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
In New York.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
You're bluff and why don't you call the bluff and
find out.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I think he's telling the truth, George. In that case, yes,
you better take care of him. Not we, Lola, not anymore.
What do you mean?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I think we'd better just dissolve the partnership.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Don't try anything like that, George. This was our idea together,
and you're in it as deep as I am.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And that's why I'm leaving, Lola. I wish it had
worked out, but as long as it do, can't do that.
You've got the money exactly. They both went for Everson
at the same moment. The shot spunner around and crumple her.
I grabbed a gun from Everson. I'm afraid it's not serious, Lolla.
If his aim had been better, he'd have done you
(11:53):
a favor. One thing I still don't get. Your husband
wouldn't make any statement after his arrest. That means to
me he knew what you were up to, and he
loved you so much he was willing to take the rap.
Tell me this, Lola, why did you marry the poor
guy in the first place. Expenser count total seventeen and
(12:17):
twenty three dollars. Lola and Everson were turned over to
the authorities, and Everson gave up the key to a
safe deposit box in New York where the embezzle money
had been all the time. It also showed us the
deserted spot on Long Island where he and Lola had
hidden the body of the real Tom Chase remarks, Dear pat,
(12:38):

I hope you get a busy signal.
