[3:00] Speaker 3: Dollar expense accounts.
[3:15] Speaker 6: I went to buy special investigator Johnny Dollar to the
[3:18] Speaker 6: Four State Mutual Insurance Company, Gloucester, Massachusetts office. Following is
[3:22] Speaker 6: the account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the
[3:25] Speaker 6: boat out of the Globe matter. Knowing the Cape in
[3:35] Speaker 6: Country pretty well, I decided to use my own car
[3:37] Speaker 6: on this one so expense account at a one fourteen
[3:40] Speaker 6: seventy mile ages at the rate of ten cents a mile,
[3:43] Speaker 6: and a bargain for the company at half the price. Annisquam,
[3:51] Speaker 6: on the northwestern end of the Cape is a pleasant
[3:53] Speaker 6: little settlement, unspoiled by the vacation frogs, a kind of
[3:58] Speaker 6: quiet summer haven for writers, pets, and painteds, with.
[4:01] Speaker 4: A few large and very old homes.
[4:03] Speaker 6: The address that Harry McQueen gave me turned out to
[4:05] Speaker 6: be one of them. Set on a high sandy knoll,
[4:09] Speaker 6: it was a big frame house with hippoo shingled turrets
[4:12] Speaker 6: and cupolos, half a dozen gables and dormer windows, all
[4:15] Speaker 6: of it dripping with gingerbread and covered with boston Ians.
[4:20] Speaker 6: It looked out over the sparkling blue waters of Ennislam Bay.
[4:24] Speaker 6: On one corner was a big tower with a platform
[4:26] Speaker 6: on top, surrounded by a heavy, well polished brass raining.
[4:30] Speaker 6: A flank pole carried not only the national engine, but
[4:33] Speaker 6: a couple of signal flags on separate lines below, a
[4:35] Speaker 6: sort of.
[4:36] Speaker 3: Yard arm like they should call it.
[4:38] Speaker 6: Another shorter pole supported the weather vane, and one of
[4:41] Speaker 6: those revolving things, the measure wing bloculi. The whole place,
[4:44] Speaker 6: in spite of its well beaten age, was in good condition.
[4:47] Speaker 6: That was what the owner, according to Harry's prescription of
[4:50] Speaker 6: bull ship shaped all very interesting in colors. What interested
[4:56] Speaker 6: me most, oh, was the vision that greeted me at
[4:59] Speaker 6: the front door.
[5:01] Speaker 7: I mean vision, yes, oh, you must see Johnny Dollars.
[5:08] Speaker 6: Any description of Elma Jean Weathery could only end up
[5:10] Speaker 6: in the department of understakement. She was tall, well tan, beautiful,
[5:17] Speaker 6: a sort of hung band were clear, exciting.
[5:20] Speaker 3: Why the sort of figure that you mean upon it?
[5:24] Speaker 6: She was wearing a well cut pair of blue silk
[5:26] Speaker 6: to brees and a blouse of light of blue chefon
[5:29] Speaker 6: the freshening breeze caught a whisp of her hair and
[5:31] Speaker 6: gently flicked across the beautiful face, and a sort of
[5:34] Speaker 6: caress I caught the faint scent of otash. Johnny, what's
[5:41] Speaker 6: the matter with you?
[5:44] Speaker 5: You are Johnny Dollar, aren't you?
[5:48] Speaker 3: Oh?
[5:49] Speaker 6: Yeah, sure, I'm sorry.
[5:54] Speaker 7: Umma Jean coming, Johnny, Yeah sure. The Captain has just
[6:01] Speaker 7: gone up to the bridge to.
[6:02] Speaker 8: Look for the weather through some top places.
[6:05] Speaker 7: My uncle, Captain Amos whether they fall, and the bridge
[6:09] Speaker 7: is on that tower on the corner of the house.
[6:11] Speaker 8: I see he spends most of his time up for
[6:14] Speaker 8: It was about Captain.
[6:15] Speaker 7: Amos that I call the insurance. Something queen told me
[6:18] Speaker 7: to Johnny, and would you like.
[6:21] Speaker 5: A nice to drink of something else of your larm live?
[6:23] Speaker 6: Why I take it you'd like to tell me what
[6:26] Speaker 6: it's all about while the Captain isn't here, So why
[6:28] Speaker 6: don't we save the amenuties for later?
[6:30] Speaker 5: All right, I can tell you all about it in
[6:33] Speaker 5: two minutes more. I was engaged to a fellow that
[6:40] Speaker 5: I can believe it.
[6:40] Speaker 7: His name is Roger Britton, until a couple of weeks
[6:43] Speaker 7: ago from the Captain, who didn't.
[6:45] Speaker 2: Like Roger from the chart.
[6:48] Speaker 8: Well, he found out some other untold these things.
[6:51] Speaker 7: About it, like what comenty Ud never told him.
[6:55] Speaker 5: Johnny but had been married twice as matter of fact, and.
[6:59] Speaker 7: Both of his wife I died under very funny circumstances.
[7:03] Speaker 8: Also, they both had considerable money, which I will if
[7:07] Speaker 8: something ever happened to Captain Namas.
[7:09] Speaker 7: So I understand because I'm sure I not only broke
[7:12] Speaker 7: off with him, but Captain Namers literally threw him out
[7:15] Speaker 7: of the house. And believe means Spider was abe he
[7:17] Speaker 7: could do it.
[7:18] Speaker 8: And now there before he left, Roger told Captain Names
[7:22] Speaker 8: to get even with him. He said that he's killing yeah,
[7:28] Speaker 8: just like that. Yes, he even boasted that he could
[7:31] Speaker 8: do it and get away with it. The things he
[7:34] Speaker 8: did with a couple of nosey why those were.
[7:36] Speaker 3: His very words. Have no idea what a horrible person
[7:41] Speaker 3: he became.
[7:41] Speaker 8: After the Captain showed him up.
[7:43] Speaker 3: This was like a man who had lucky to be
[7:45] Speaker 3: free him.
[7:46] Speaker 7: I am it would be a long time when I
[7:50] Speaker 7: saw for any sweet talk again.
[7:53] Speaker 6: Terrible waste, Johnny, not you, No, I just did.
[8:01] Speaker 7: You better be And yeah, it's all the stories I've
[8:05] Speaker 7: heard about.
[8:06] Speaker 3: One of them.
[8:06] Speaker 6: And the prove that I didn't come up here is
[8:08] Speaker 6: because Harry the Queen said, you're the most beautiful.
[8:10] Speaker 3: And most gorgeous queen.
[8:11] Speaker 6: Can't do that. I'm sure.
[8:14] Speaker 8: I've known that, and if you hadn't come, I've never
[8:17] Speaker 8: forgiven you.
[8:18] Speaker 6: Now let's get down the way, especially after what.
[8:20] Speaker 7: He set over the phone about you like what oh
[8:24] Speaker 7: that Uh, you're an old dog dodgy to.
[8:28] Speaker 6: Dancy, and I'll certainly try to prove otherwise.
[8:33] Speaker 3: But right now, no, no, let's get down the business.
[8:36] Speaker 6: Well, well.
[8:40] Speaker 8: After the captain threw him.
[8:41] Speaker 5: Out, we thought that was the last you'd see you, Rogers.
[8:45] Speaker 8: In spite of what he said, in spite.
[8:47] Speaker 7: Of the strip, Johnny's somebody has been prowling around outside
[8:53] Speaker 7: this house at night when he cut glimpses of him,
[8:56] Speaker 7: of the shadow.
[8:57] Speaker 3: Really, but I'm sure it's not Baton.
[9:01] Speaker 8: It can only mean one thing.
[9:04] Speaker 7: He's hearing to carry out his threat against Captain Mus.
[9:27] Speaker 3: You're sure it's Roger Burton. You've seen probably around the.
[9:30] Speaker 2: Place, yes, Johnny, and only at night.
[9:33] Speaker 7: And he's supposed to go Anna Thum, who's gone out
[9:35] Speaker 7: west to something. And don't you see what that means?
[9:38] Speaker 7: He's going to carry out his threat to kill Captain Amus.
[9:42] Speaker 7: He's start to stop him somehow, if you're right about all.
[9:45] Speaker 8: That, Totaly, you knew what a terrible person he.
[9:48] Speaker 3: Is, yet you were engaged to be married to.
[9:51] Speaker 7: That was before the captain showed him up for what
[9:53] Speaker 7: he really is. A wife of him.
[9:54] Speaker 3: Why you admit yourself, it's never been pinned on him
[9:57] Speaker 3: because he's probably.
[9:58] Speaker 1: That's why he boasted that he could kill him my
[10:00] Speaker 1: uncles and got away with it.
[10:02] Speaker 6: Now that I've seen here, Johnny, he hasn't made his
[10:07] Speaker 6: presence around here known to anyone else.
[10:09] Speaker 4: Stomachache.
[10:10] Speaker 8: I'm sure he doesn't know that I've seen, But no,
[10:12] Speaker 8: just what has he done?
[10:15] Speaker 7: All I know is that i've seen or his shadow
[10:18] Speaker 7: poking around outside in the yard between here and the cells.
[10:21] Speaker 7: And last, what's that look?
[10:23] Speaker 8: You can see it from the windows.
[10:27] Speaker 6: There?
[10:28] Speaker 3: That concrete building, whatever it is if the edge of.
[10:31] Speaker 7: Poverty, it used to be a kind of jail back
[10:33] Speaker 7: in the days of the failing ship.
[10:35] Speaker 8: Not a power companies?
[10:36] Speaker 2: Is it for transformers?
[10:38] Speaker 6: Is whatever you tell?
[10:39] Speaker 3: Yeah, I see the power cables leading down from the poor.
[10:41] Speaker 7: I've looked for his footprints out there in the morning,
[10:44] Speaker 7: but there's always a wind at night.
[10:45] Speaker 3: Maybe i'd better take a look in a little let's
[10:47] Speaker 3: cell as you call it.
[10:48] Speaker 7: Oh, it's all locked up done, the tiny windows of
[10:51] Speaker 7: the bars over them and said he you can't see
[10:53] Speaker 7: a thing inside.
[10:54] Speaker 3: Have you any reason to think he's somehow got into it? Hey,
[10:58] Speaker 3: storm's really coming.
[10:59] Speaker 8: This Yeah, Captain names will love it.
[11:03] Speaker 3: But Jo hadn't you better get him down off that

[13:03] Speaker 7: Johnny.
[13:04] Speaker 3: If you're going out first, I want you to show
[13:07] Speaker 3: me where you've found the ladder. Mark It's okay, Ice.
[13:15] Speaker 6: The marks in the ground were still quite plain at
[13:17] Speaker 6: the face of the ivy covered tower. The ladder must
[13:20] Speaker 6: have been a tall one, I enough to reach the
[13:22] Speaker 6: platform that the captain called the.
[13:23] Speaker 3: Grid, and I founded rather a couple of things. A
[13:29] Speaker 3: heavy lighting rod extended up the side of the tower,
[13:31] Speaker 3: well hidden by the iron, but the bottom of it
[13:34] Speaker 3: had been sought off, making it useless. Also hidden by
[13:38] Speaker 3: the iey was a.
[13:38] Speaker 6: Wire, an insulated copper wire, too heavy to cut without tools,
[13:42] Speaker 6: but serving not big enough to take a lightning bullet.
[13:46] Speaker 1: Wow.
[13:46] Speaker 3: Was managed to the upper section of the laking bottle.
[13:48] Speaker 6: The other end disappeared in the ground at my feet,
[13:51] Speaker 6: and it led away towards the cell, a little transformer station.
[13:55] Speaker 3: It was dark now, my stone was building up facts.
[13:58] Speaker 3: I dashed back into the house after the second floor,
[14:00] Speaker 3: and then up the winding stairway to the captain's bridge.
[14:05] Speaker 7: You better lash.
[14:06] Speaker 6: Yourself under the rail, Johnny, Just wait to blow your
[14:08] Speaker 6: feet off of the deck into the sea.
[14:09] Speaker 3: Let's I get right, sir, I told her.
[14:11] Speaker 2: At Easter is going to be a big one.
[14:13] Speaker 7: In Adacently, there might be a one night.
[14:15] Speaker 4: Off the able that was facted. What are you doing there, Johnny?
[14:21] Speaker 6: This upper end of the lightning rod was six or
[14:23] Speaker 6: eight feet from the side of the tower, held there
[14:25] Speaker 6: by big inspiders. But again the heavy copper wire, again
[14:28] Speaker 6: hidden by the eye. It connected the rod with the
[14:31] Speaker 6: brass rating where the captain was holding on for dear
[14:33] Speaker 6: life against the wind. And it meant that the railing
[14:36] Speaker 6: was the cleverest, most diabolical instrument for murder than I
[14:39] Speaker 6: had ever seen. Never the name assistant or a blow Johnny,
[14:52] Speaker 6: Thista belonging Hello, and mister.
[14:54] Speaker 4: Sam right fish, not one in a thundered niker sterium.
[14:58] Speaker 3: But me and keep me away from that rail.
[15:00] Speaker 2: Go this rain of the blog into the seat.
[15:02] Speaker 6: Tell you to get away, give me your hand, up,
[15:04] Speaker 6: your your story. I drag him off his so called
[15:12] Speaker 6: bridge and down into the little room below, then hoisted
[15:14] Speaker 6: him onto my shoulder and started down the circular stairway. Johnny,
[15:21] Speaker 6: What is it? What happened to him?
[15:22] Speaker 3: I'm afraid I had to knock him off?
[15:25] Speaker 6: What get him off that platform?
[15:26] Speaker 5: Up?
[15:27] Speaker 1: Johnny?
[15:28] Speaker 6: You shouldn't have you.
[15:32] Speaker 3: Preventing him from getting electric quitted. Oh, better give him
[15:37] Speaker 3: some brandy or.
[15:37] Speaker 7: Something, Johnny.
[15:38] Speaker 8: Don't you understand didn't you see the lightning up there?
[15:41] Speaker 3: You bet I did, right next to the platform. While
[15:44] Speaker 3: you're at it, you can bring a slug of that
[15:46] Speaker 3: for me.
[15:47] Speaker 2: Could you understand?
[15:48] Speaker 7: Lightning wouldn't hit a pod like that, not months and
[15:50] Speaker 7: one hundred years and one hundred years, Johnny?
[15:52] Speaker 3: Here nice?
[15:54] Speaker 7: What it does clear the air of static electricity all
[15:57] Speaker 7: around the place, so the lightning less like nearby. Don't
[16:01] Speaker 7: you see what you've done till he might.
[16:02] Speaker 8: Never forgive you for this?
[16:08] Speaker 4: Now listen to thomachine gunning.
[16:10] Speaker 2: You've heard it.
[16:10] Speaker 3: Oh I'm sorry, but I listen.
[16:12] Speaker 2: You're gonna be a lot more swallowing nothing you can say.
[16:16] Speaker 3: Listen to me.
[16:17] Speaker 6: You keep him here, keep him away from the bridge
[16:19] Speaker 6: until I get back here about your gunning.
[16:21] Speaker 2: Let's keep him.
[16:22] Speaker 6: There outside with the eight o ocasional flashes of lightning,
[16:29] Speaker 6: I found my way to the concrete transformerhouse. There I
[16:32] Speaker 6: found out how Roger Burton, in spite of the heavy
[16:34] Speaker 6: padlock on the door, had gone into it, had a
[16:37] Speaker 6: simple device of pulling the pin out of the hands.
[16:42] Speaker 3: We were sitting there waiting for me with.
[16:44] Speaker 6: A how's the door?
[16:48] Speaker 4: Mister?

[16:59] Speaker 3: I got it only tells you that if you make
[17:01] Speaker 3: one move tod me, I'll pull this trigger.
[17:04] Speaker 6: Your body will be found until the annual inspection of
[17:07] Speaker 6: the little transformer station.
[17:09] Speaker 4: That'll be four months.
[17:10] Speaker 6: From now, and I'll be a long way away from here.
[17:13] Speaker 1: I see.
[17:16] Speaker 6: I'll probably have to kid you anyway, mister Asa get
[17:19] Speaker 6: rid of that meddling old man up in the tower.
[17:21] Speaker 4: The old fool calls the bridge up on.
[17:24] Speaker 3: The tower, burden.
[17:25] Speaker 6: I saw you drag him away from there through this
[17:27] Speaker 6: window just before a good flash of lightning.
[17:29] Speaker 3: That could have been my cover up.
[17:31] Speaker 6: Don't worry, he'll be back hanging on to that railing,
[17:35] Speaker 6: riding out the rest of the storm. And when he
[17:38] Speaker 6: is the rest of this madman's murder weapon was also
[17:43] Speaker 6: walkis now about the tower. The brass raining was wired
[17:47] Speaker 6: to the disconnected lighting rod.
[17:49] Speaker 4: On the lower end.
[17:50] Speaker 3: It was the copper wire.
[17:51] Speaker 6: I discovered it, and this end of the wire here
[17:53] Speaker 6: in the blockhouse was connected to a twenty two thousand
[17:56] Speaker 6: volt transformer I see Alan works mister, he goes back
[18:03] Speaker 6: up there and draft hole of the ram. I throw
[18:05] Speaker 6: the switch, and the power on this line will not
[18:08] Speaker 6: only kill him, but not the way the copper.
[18:09] Speaker 3: Wires destroy the evidence. Only nobody will.
[18:13] Speaker 6: Look for evidence, because I'll all think a bolt.
[18:16] Speaker 3: Of lightning kill.
[18:19] Speaker 2: All right?
[18:20] Speaker 3: Threat, listen me, no, look it.
[18:23] Speaker 6: I can see him in the room where you carried
[18:28] Speaker 6: I look through the window beside you. You can see
[18:31] Speaker 6: him too. I can see him all right, starting to
[18:35] Speaker 6: back up a circular stairway back up to the bridge.
[18:38] Speaker 3: Do you think that now the Jean could stop him?
[18:40] Speaker 4: Never you ever got there.
[18:44] Speaker 6: He touched the railing burt and would throw the switch
[18:46] Speaker 6: with electric kill him. It's a miracle once in a
[18:50] Speaker 6: hundred years, the bolt of lightning out of the heavens. Yeah,
[19:12] Speaker 6: the boat of lanking had struck the rod high up
[19:14] Speaker 6: on the tower, had straight down the wire into the
[19:16] Speaker 6: blockhouse had fairly exploded inside of it. The horse had
[19:19] Speaker 6: blown me out through the door, and it was a
[19:21] Speaker 6: couple of hours later inside the house before I was
[19:23] Speaker 6: able to move. Britain holding the switch had been killed instantly.
[19:29] Speaker 3: I'm glad I hadn't tried to get any closer to him,
[19:32] Speaker 3: it was a bolt out of the blue. It was
[19:35] Speaker 3: justice and it's own strange.

[20:54] Speaker 1: Welcome back. It's hard to complain about the implausibility the ending,
[21:00] Speaker 1: as they really did Lampshade, and they acknowledged that it
[21:04] Speaker 1: was implausible and set it up in advance. One thing
[21:08] Speaker 1: I would note is that this episode you do see
[21:13] Speaker 1: that whole sense of the abbreviated expense account, and it's
[21:21] Speaker 1: a good example how the expense account went from at
[21:25] Speaker 1: the start of the series, this key storytelling instrument, to
[21:31] Speaker 1: something that was continued because it was what the show did.
[21:36] Speaker 1: But you can tell Johnstone didn't have much use for
[21:40] Speaker 1: it at this point. Listener comments and feeback now and
