The Plantagent Matter Ep 1

Originally Aired: March 5, 1956 Johnny Dollar #341, "The Plantagent Matter Ep 1," Johnny Dollar flies to Vicksburg, Virginia, to investigate a burglary at the Plantagent Hotel for Eastern Seaboard Casualty Insurance. The case appears straightforward when hotel manager Mr. Costello reports that police have already caught the burglar and recovered all the stolen property. After wrapping up the routine investigation, Johnny heads to the hotel bar and steps outside for some fresh air, expecting to catch a flight back to Hartford the next day. In the parking lot, Johnny encounters a mysterious blonde woman in her thirties being accosted by a tall, aggressive man. After intervening and sending the man away, Johnny learns the woman is deeply troubled by something she won't explain. He buys her a drink to calm her nerves, and she thanks him for his kindness without revealing her name or her problems. When Johnny helps her into a cab to go home, something goes terribly wrong. The woman suddenly collapses in agony, writhing in pain and falling unconscious in Johnny's arms, transforming what seemed like a closed case into something far more sinister.
