The Jolly Roger Fraud Matter Ep 4

Originally Aired: March 22, 1956 Johnny Dollar #354, "The Jolly Roger Fraud Matter Ep 4," Johnny Dollar finds himself deeper in a deadly conspiracy surrounding the suspicious sinking of the yacht Jolly Roger and its $460,000 insurance claim filed by international arms dealer Paula Zanagian. After consulting with Sergeant Franklin of the San Diego Police, Dollar pieces together the evidence: owner Zanagian, desperate for cash after having his European funds frozen, likely planted a time bomb aboard his own yacht. The captain would have escaped before the explosion, but was killed when a radar mast struck him. Two men who tried to help Dollar investigate, insurance adjuster Bert Parker and Coast Guard Lieutenant Smith, have already been murdered in hit-and-run incidents involving a black Buick sedan. Dollar grows increasingly paranoid as Zanagian seems to anticipate his every move, though the police have been watching Zanagian's known associates closely. Concerned for the safety of Jan Penny, Parker's secretary who has been assisting him, Dollar arranges police protection and heads to her apartment to review Parker's case files, hoping to find evidence that will crack the case wide open.
