The Lamarr Matter Ep 3

Originally Aired: March 28, 1956 Johnny Dollar #358, "The Lamarr Matter Ep 3," Johnny Dollar finds himself torn between personal feelings and professional duty when he arrives in South Bend, Indiana to investigate the death of Thomas Lamar, foster father to Vonnie, the woman Johnny has fallen for during his recent California vacation. When Vonnie calls him to the house, questioning whether her father was murdered, Johnny must confront the reality that his romantic interest is now entangled with a million-and-a-half-dollar insurance investigation. Lawrence Comstock of Tri-Mutual Insurance reveals the disturbing circumstances surrounding Lamar's death: a man in perfect health who died instantly after taking what should have been a harmless sleeping pill. Dr. Ed Wilson suspects a rare, deadly drug replaced the sugar pills, capable of killing even a healthy young man. The case grows more complex when Comstock reveals his suspicions about Walter Marson, Lamar's personal secretary who secretly married Vonnie over a year ago. Comstock believes Marson holds some mysterious power over Vonnie and may have murdered Thomas Lamar to gain access to the insurance fortune through his wife, suggesting Vonnie married him not out of love but under duress.
