The Ricardo Amerigo Matter Ep 2

Originally Aired: January 17, 1956 Johnny Dollar #307, "The Ricardo Amerigo Matter Ep 2," Johnny Dollar arrives in Port Morris, New Jersey with retired investigator Ed Bowles, only to learn that Pete Corbin, the prime suspect in Ricardo Amerigo's murder, has mysteriously shown up in town. Sergeant Barney Peters warns that Corbin may be gunning for Johnny. Despite Ed Bowles' certainty that Corbin is their man, having both motive and opportunity as Amarigo's booking agent and insurance beneficiary, Johnny remains skeptical of the seemingly too-easy solution. While examining the bridge where Amarigo's car plunged into Lucky Ho Creek, Johnny spots what appears to be a violin case caught in the reeds. In a harrowing rescue attempt, he fights through quicksand-like muck to retrieve the thirty-thousand-dollar Ahmadi violin, nearly drowning in the process. The discovery means no insurance payout on the instrument, but Johnny makes an even more disturbing find: a piece of Amarigo's monogrammed shirt with what appear to be bloodstains, suggesting something more sinister than a simple accident.
