The Lamarr Matter Ep 1

Originally Aired: March 26, 1956 Johnny Dollar #356, "The Lamarr Matter Ep 1," Johnny Dollar is enjoying a well-deserved vacation at the luxurious El Crescenta resort in La Jolla, California, when he becomes captivated by Vonnie Lamar, an attractive brunette staying at the hotel. The daughter of a wealthy South Bend industrialist who owns Lamar Metal Products, Vonnie is waiting for her father to join her on their annual vacation together. When she receives a telegram from her father claiming he must delay his arrival due to "doctor's orders," Vonnie becomes suspicious since he recently passed a clean insurance examination with Tri-Mutual. Though a phone call to her father reveals only a case of indigestion, something feels off about the situation. As Johnny and Vonnie spend three idyllic days together swimming, sailing, and enjoying the resort's amenities, their relationship deepens beyond a simple vacation romance. Vonnie expresses her disdain for the wealthy playboys who typically pursue her, preferring hard-working men of real character. Despite claiming not to believe in love at first sight, both find themselves falling for each other, though Johnny maintains his cover story about running a filling station back east.
