The Lorko Diamonds Matter Ep 2

Originally Aired: November 8, 1955 Johnny Dollar #257, "The Lorko Diamonds Matter Ep 2," Johnny Dollar confronts the elegant Countess de Octaghia about a $100,000 diamond theft and murder, determined to shake her cool composure. Despite warnings from the green-eyed Inspector Marcus that the Countess is above suspicion, Dollar remains convinced she's deeply involved in the crime. The Countess was the only person in Algiers who knew the courier's exact arrival details, having received specific instructions from the Lorco Company not to share the information with anyone. At her slightly shabby apartment in an upscale district, Dollar presses the Countess hard, suggesting she orchestrated the theft with an accomplice. He confronts her about a tall, thin man who slugged a customs agent after the courier was poisoned on the plane. The Countess maintains her dignified demeanor but admits she may have made a mistake by mentioning the diamond shipment at a cocktail party. As she begins to reveal who she told, the tension builds over whether this sophisticated woman is truly guilty or merely careless. Become a supporter of this podcast
