But when two key witnesses—the insurance doctor and the policy salesman—are murdered, Dollar’s suspicions ignite.

The aim: a $100,000 double indemnity payout. In a dramatic confrontation, the truth is exposed and justice prevails in this smoldering tale of greed, betrayal, and calculated murder on Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.
