[1:38] Speaker 2: old friend of Durango Laramie dale Hyde. I sure do.

[1:43] Speaker 4: I'm the man that helped you find Durrango their time.
[1:46] Speaker 2: He dispears, sure of course you did. Side. Wonder if

[2:15] Speaker 5: Durragle, Frank Josh?
[2:17] Speaker 2: Well, now wait a minute, sidewinder, hmm. Bob Bailey in
[2:31] Speaker 2: the Intriguing Adventures of a Man with the Action packed
[2:34] Speaker 2: Expense account America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator, as truly Johnny Dollar,
[2:46] Speaker 2: with your permission, we'd like to talk shop for just
[2:48] Speaker 2: a moment. CBS Radio Shop recently, one of the foremost
[2:52] Speaker 2: publications in the broadcasting field, pulled four hundred and sixty
[2:55] Speaker 2: five critics and editors, the question which radio network programs
[2:59] Speaker 2: do you do you rate? Tops When the answers from
[3:02] Speaker 2: these four hundred and sixty five experts were tabulated, the
[3:04] Speaker 2: final ratings were, to put it mildly, overwhelmingly one sided.
[3:09] Speaker 2: Total honors accorded CBS Radio programs exceeded those of all
[3:13] Speaker 2: the other networks combined. Let's put it another way, The
[3:17] Speaker 2: final verdict of hundreds of critics, reviewers, and editors was
[3:20] Speaker 2: that CBS Radio had more top shows than all other
[3:23] Speaker 2: networks put together. CBS Radio was pleased naturally at the
[3:27] Speaker 2: result of the poll, but not surprised. Great programming is
[3:31] Speaker 2: no accident. It's long been a policy of this network
[3:34] Speaker 2: to devote every effort to maintaining highest broadcast standards, to
[3:38] Speaker 2: making sure CBS Radio listeners here the best entertainment, the
[3:41] Speaker 2: most authoritative information. Whatever listening fares for you, you can
[3:46] Speaker 2: be sure you're hearing the best when you're tuned to
[3:48] Speaker 2: CBS Radio. And now act one of yours, truly. Johnny
[3:53] Speaker 2: Dollar expense account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to
[4:12] Speaker 2: Floyd's of England, North American Office, Hartford, Connecticut, following as
[4:16] Speaker 2: an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the
[4:18] Speaker 2: Fairweather Friend matter. All of Durango's insurance was handled by
[4:28] Speaker 2: Floyd's of England, so that would have to be the
[4:30] Speaker 2: company that Sidewinder was talking about expense count out on
[4:34] Speaker 2: one a dollar twenty for a taxi to Floyd's headquarters
[4:36] Speaker 2: in Hayford and the office of George Reid. Whoa, this
[4:39] Speaker 2: is a switch, Johnny, you are coming here, George. I
[4:42] Speaker 2: just got a call from that town out in Oklahoma
[4:44] Speaker 2: with the unlikely name of bum Spun, the old Indian name.
[4:48] Speaker 2: I understand it means bad spring, bad water. Yeah, it
[4:51] Speaker 2: was from a friend of Durango Laramie Dalhart's an old
[4:54] Speaker 2: character by the name of Sidewinder Wilson. You know, of
[4:56] Speaker 2: course the Durango was here a few days ago, here
[4:59] Speaker 2: in Heart, and he didn't drop in to see me.
[5:01] Speaker 2: He dropped in to pay the forty five hundred dollars
[5:03] Speaker 2: premium on that insurance he carries for the benefit of
[5:06] Speaker 2: his niece, Carol Dalhard. He must think an awful lot
[5:09] Speaker 2: of that girl. Yeah, oh, I wouldn't what, George, that
[5:13] Speaker 2: Carol's a living dollars if I were ever to think
[5:16] Speaker 2: seriously getting married. Well, believe me. Oh, what's the hitch
[5:20] Speaker 2: does old Durango Jake? Oh Jack? Where from it? Hey?
[5:24] Speaker 2: Tell me? Did he pay off that premium? And the
[5:26] Speaker 2: usual brand new hundred dollar bill. Yes, and as usual
[5:29] Speaker 2: he peeled them off for all. It was big enough
[5:31] Speaker 2: to choke a horse. Johnny. Why that man carries so
[5:34] Speaker 2: much cash around with him? Now, what did this fellow
[5:37] Speaker 2: Wilson call you about, Sideline? It wouldn't tell me. Well,
[5:40] Speaker 2: I'll wait. There was a robbery murder case out there
[5:44] Speaker 2: a while back, in the little town of Fairweather. Oh,
[5:46] Speaker 2: that's a few miles north of Enat, Oklahoma. What happened?
[5:49] Speaker 2: It was the messenger carrying some negotiable securities to the
[5:52] Speaker 2: small bank they're in Fairweather. Ah, you get stuck for
[5:55] Speaker 2: insurance on both the man and the securities, only on
[5:58] Speaker 2: the messenger. The securities were returned by home, either the
[6:02] Speaker 2: bank or the police out there, ever found out. Funny?
[6:05] Speaker 2: Do you suppose that's what Sidewinder called me about it?
[6:08] Speaker 2: There's any one way to find out, Johnny, which is
[6:11] Speaker 2: to say that Floyd's of England will pay my expenses.
[6:13] Speaker 2: Well now within reason, of course. Eh. Oh, Why I
[6:16] Speaker 2: kid about it, Johnny? That free wheeling expensive with you?
[6:18] Speaker 2: Oh sure, juice sounded so you don't trust me? Well
[6:23] Speaker 2: of course I do. Oh, oh you should, George. I'll
[6:26] Speaker 2: be in touch. Expense account at them two ninety seven
[6:33] Speaker 2: thirty transportation. The plane dropped me off at Enid, Oklahoma,
[6:37] Speaker 2: shortly after six pm. I had them three two dollars
[6:39] Speaker 2: even for some food. I had them four a fifty
[6:42] Speaker 2: bucks deposit on the drive your own car. I drove
[6:45] Speaker 2: north on Highway eighty one. Then, after some twenty seven miles,
[6:48] Speaker 2: and after crossing the Salt Fork of the Arkansas, which
[6:52] Speaker 2: much to my surprise, had a trickle of water, and
[6:54] Speaker 2: I turned left on the rough dirt road leading to
[6:56] Speaker 2: bump Spock. Finally there was the same two or three
[7:01] Speaker 2: acres of poor barren sandy soil, the ramshackle house and
[7:05] Speaker 2: the remains of a barn leaning entirely on the timbers
[7:08] Speaker 2: that helped to prop it up. And on in front
[7:11] Speaker 2: were the same two sad looking cows, the old and
[7:15] Speaker 2: weather of eaten horse, a friendly, mangy, toruthless hound who
[7:19] Speaker 2: shook himself as he got up out of the dust
[7:21] Speaker 2: and proceeded to assert his authority. And I still couldn't
[7:25] Speaker 2: figure why Durrango, who was worth millions and oil royalties,
[7:28] Speaker 2: had ever chosen to settle down on this lonely desolate spot.
[7:32] Speaker 2: And yet thanks to Carol, his attractive niece. The inside
[7:36] Speaker 2: of that huge, unpainted house was clean, modern, well furnished.
[7:40] Speaker 2: I wanted that Carol would show up, but I saw
[7:43] Speaker 2: no side of the sleek convertible she always drove, swinging
[7:47] Speaker 2: open the sagging wire gate. I wondered at the agent
[7:49] Speaker 2: Maxwell parked at one side belonged to sidewinder Wilson. I
[7:53] Speaker 2: didn't have to wind up a log. Hey, you crazy
[7:57] Speaker 2: old coat.
[8:00] Speaker 6: Sidewider, what the same hill's the matter with you? Less
[8:08] Speaker 6: than your wild old character. Put that thing down and
[8:11] Speaker 6: I'll start throwing some letter around myself.
[8:14] Speaker 3: Thirty eight eleven.
[8:15] Speaker 4: Squeezer, you're you no shirt, honey, you wouldn't stand chance.
[8:20] Speaker 2: Well, now, what's the big idea?
[8:22] Speaker 4: I just wanted to show you that when Durango leaves
[8:25] Speaker 4: me in charge of his rant, he leaves.
[8:27] Speaker 3: A good hand.
[8:28] Speaker 4: And also I wanted to do to feel real welcome
[8:31] Speaker 4: around here.
[8:31] Speaker 6: Yeah, but.
[8:33] Speaker 3: Are you, Johnny boy?
[8:35] Speaker 2: I'm still in one piece, No, thanks to you, the
[8:38] Speaker 2: crazy way you and Durango have him making somebody feel
[8:41] Speaker 2: welcome around here. Where is he?
[8:43] Speaker 4: By the way, First he went to hut for to
[8:46] Speaker 4: pay up on his insurance. Then he flew down to Washington.
[8:50] Speaker 4: Oh what's for to pay upon his income texts? I
[8:53] Speaker 4: wanted to make sure he got him in the right hand.
[8:55] Speaker 2: Well, no, he didn't have to go to Washington for that.
[8:58] Speaker 4: He feels it makes it easier that way. He just
[9:00] Speaker 4: carries long, big one of money and lets him take
[9:04] Speaker 4: whatever he think is right.
[9:05] Speaker 2: Oh no, now, listen, sidewinder, Eh, did you call me
[9:09] Speaker 2: in connection with that bank messenger who was killed down
[9:11] Speaker 2: a fairweather? I understand the securities he carried were returned
[9:15] Speaker 2: to the bank.
[9:16] Speaker 4: Yes, sure, they were shielded up in the big end
[9:18] Speaker 4: room and laid on the front doorstep of that bank.
[9:21] Speaker 4: And what I figure, Johnny, You figure that if I
[9:23] Speaker 4: can find out who sent them back the securities, I'll
[9:26] Speaker 4: have a lead on the killer. That's right.
[9:29] Speaker 2: And Johnny, I know who sent them back? You too?
[9:34] Speaker 2: Yeah you're sure?
[9:36] Speaker 4: Yeah?
[9:37] Speaker 2: Well who sidewinder me?
[9:39] Speaker 7: Johnny?
[9:40] Speaker 2: What issue mean?
[9:54] Speaker 3: Fact?
[9:54] Speaker 5: Too?
[9:54] Speaker 7: Off?
[9:55] Speaker 2: Yours truly, Johnny Dollar? In a moment, Are you going
[9:58] Speaker 2: to write that letter today or put it off until
[10:01] Speaker 2: tomorrow or maybe the day after? How about that spring
[10:04] Speaker 2: suit you plan to have altered? Will you take it
[10:06] Speaker 2: to the tailor tomorrow morning, bright and early, or will
[10:09] Speaker 2: the week, somehow glide by while the suit just hangs
[10:12] Speaker 2: on in your closet. If you're a confessed procrastinator, you
[10:15] Speaker 2: are not unique. The putting off habit can be mild
[10:18] Speaker 2: or chronic, but some matters, serious matters, are highly dangerous
[10:21] Speaker 2: to assign to manyana. One of the most important of
[10:24] Speaker 2: these is getting protection from crippling killing polio. When life
[10:29] Speaker 2: saving soft vaccine was first introduced in nineteen fifty five,
[10:32] Speaker 2: it was hailed as a major medical discovery. Yet at
[10:35] Speaker 2: the beginning of this current year, some ninety eight million Americans,
[10:39] Speaker 2: the majority of our population, had not received even one inoculation.
[10:44] Speaker 2: Why had all these people failed to take the simple
[10:46] Speaker 2: measures necessary to gain protection from polio? If you were
[10:49] Speaker 2: among them this year, don't take a chance. Don't put
[10:52] Speaker 2: off those polio shots any longer. Get in touch with
[10:55] Speaker 2: your family doctor or local health department right away, and
[11:00] Speaker 2: no act too off yours truly, Johnny Dollar and the
[11:03] Speaker 2: Fairweather friend better.
[11:13] Speaker 4: On in the house, John need not tell you about it.
[11:15] Speaker 2: I just want to get this straight. Sideliner, the bank
[11:18] Speaker 2: messenger down there in Fairweather was hell of the murdered. Yeah,
[11:21] Speaker 2: the securities he carried were stolen by the killer. Then
[11:24] Speaker 2: they were returned to the bank. That's right, and I'm
[11:26] Speaker 2: the one who returned sideliner. You now, look, don't tell
[11:31] Speaker 2: me that you're the one.
[11:34] Speaker 4: Do you think that I'm the one to kill that messenger.
[11:36] Speaker 2: I didn't say that, but that's what you were thinking.
[11:38] Speaker 2: Eating Well, you said yourself that whoever returned.
[11:41] Speaker 3: Whoever left him back at the bank.
[11:45] Speaker 2: You stand real still, Jenny. Oh come on, I'll put
[11:49] Speaker 2: that thing down, sidewin. Look, would you listen to me?
[11:53] Speaker 4: And maybe you even better stop talking, or that sidewinder
[11:56] Speaker 4: red or snake coming towards you might take it into
[11:58] Speaker 4: his you know, yeah, I can hear him, you know,
[12:04] Speaker 4: whilst I get a bead on him with this study
[12:10] Speaker 4: abe rising one eye, not tell that, and I'll just
[12:16] Speaker 4: cut off his rattles and add him to my collection.
[12:21] Speaker 2: Oh brother, thanks, No wonder they call you sidewinder.

[12:30] Speaker 4: taken off these warmage. I just don't like them, Johnny.

[12:37] Speaker 4: on him, man, just like that dirty sneake had kill
[12:40] Speaker 4: the bank messenger, And you know why he done it, Johnny.

[16:17] Speaker 3: Police said no, they didn't need him, didn't want me. Sure.
[16:21] Speaker 3: We talked it over about who could ever do a
[16:24] Speaker 3: thing like that? And that's when.
[16:25] Speaker 4: I remembered Barney Gifford would get the money from Cords
[16:29] Speaker 4: and shore though.
[16:30] Speaker 9: I told Sidewinder I'd have a date with Bonnie and
[16:33] Speaker 9: that would give him a chance to go through Bonnie's
[16:35] Speaker 9: house and look for the security and I find him
[16:37] Speaker 9: Johnny under a loose board in the fore Yes.
[16:40] Speaker 4: So when he come home, I last showed him and
[16:43] Speaker 4: I tied him up, and I took him and locked
[16:46] Speaker 4: him up in the.
[16:46] Speaker 3: Tool shit on my page.
[16:48] Speaker 2: You didn't turn him over to the police or the cheek.
[16:51] Speaker 9: That little old heck town told Sidewinder that he interfered
[16:53] Speaker 9: in the case, he'd lock him.
[16:55] Speaker 3: Up, hard Wingle just before he left to go to Hartford.
[17:00] Speaker 4: Always has to be there right on time. And know
[17:02] Speaker 4: that insurance payment, Yeah, I know. Well that's when d
[17:04] Speaker 4: Wrangles had to call you up on.

[20:52] Speaker 2: No, Carol, that doesn't make any difference.
[20:54] Speaker 9: You think I'm gonna leave you here with a killer
[20:56] Speaker 9: after old sidewinderd it's body times you with him.
[20:59] Speaker 3: He'll try to kill Carol, would you. I won't go, Johnny,
[21:02] Speaker 3: I won't leave.
[21:03] Speaker 2: Okay, Okay, we're just wasting time. I haven't seen any
[21:07] Speaker 2: car lights out on the road. But that doesn't mean.
[21:09] Speaker 10: That that's right, mister, It doesn't mean up thing.
[21:15] Speaker 2: The front door had been pushed open by the barrel
[21:17] Speaker 2: of a high powered rifle that slowly fan the three
[21:19] Speaker 2: of us. I knew that if I made a move
[21:21] Speaker 2: to draw my handgun, if Sidewinder took a step towards
[21:24] Speaker 2: thirty thirty on the table, and if Barney was the
[21:27] Speaker 2: excellent shot that Carol said, he was all right.
[21:30] Speaker 10: Put your hands up and come walking out.
[21:31] Speaker 2: This door.

[23:36] Speaker 2: leave Carol. It's whateverally mean. But there was another phone call,
[23:40] Speaker 2: Sidewinder answer and yep it was from Durango falling from Enid.

[27:07] Speaker 5: s Mentel Furniture, three four degree Rivers, Recroy Welcome back.
[27:12] Speaker 1: It turns out that that reference to Bumspum in the
[27:17] Speaker 1: last episode was more than just a callback, but kind
[27:22] Speaker 1: of setting up this episode. This is another one of
[27:26] Speaker 1: those where I think that its strength is just having
[27:31] Speaker 1: entertaining characters and Johnstone having a good time playing with
[27:36] Speaker 1: those characters, but kind of to the detriment of the mystery,
[27:41] Speaker 1: or more like the adventure in this case, you end
[27:45] Speaker 1: up with essentially a very abbreviated bet with dollar battling
[27:50] Speaker 1: the bad guy. However, I did like the Rattlesnake callback.
[27:57] Speaker 1: I had not put any significant in the rattles in
[28:01] Speaker 1: the pocket, so I was pleasantly surprised the way that
[28:05] Speaker 1: played out. Still, I do wish we'd gotten a little
[28:08] Speaker 1: bit more plot or action, but I guess you can't
[28:12] Speaker 1: have everything all right. Listener comments and feedback now, and
[28:16] Speaker 1: we have some comments on YouTube regarding the like me
[28:20] Speaker 1: matter listener rights. The Flamingo Hotel and Cosino was originally
[28:26] Speaker 1: open in nineteen forty six by Mobster Bugsy Siegel. I
[28:30] Speaker 1: just watched a twelve episode documentary series about Las Vegas
[28:35] Speaker 1: two months ago. Thanks so much, appreciate the background information.
[28:39] Speaker 1: Jeffrey right, so quaint. I never heard that version of
[28:43] Speaker 1: a Pepsi advertisement. Funny how those order communcials use scenes
[28:48] Speaker 1: and tunes. We don't see that nowadays. I have to
[28:54] Speaker 1: admit that I am not a connoisseur of modern commercials,
[28:59] Speaker 1: but those I've seen you, I don't tend to hear
[29:03] Speaker 1: those anymore. And it's not like those were something that
[29:07] Speaker 1: you only heard in the fifties and sixties. I remember
[29:11] Speaker 1: hearing the commercial jingles into the eighties and nineties, back
[29:18] Speaker 1: when I was a kid. You know, the best part
[29:21] Speaker 1: of waking up is folgers in your cup, just for
[29:24] Speaker 1: the taste of it. Diet coke. Have you had your
[29:27] Speaker 1: break today? Those are the ones that just, you know,
[29:30] Speaker 1: pop into my head. And now I've started on replay,
[29:34] Speaker 1: although I don't think those jingles were quite as good
[29:39] Speaker 1: as the be Sociable Pepsi ad. Well, now it's time
[29:44] Speaker 1: to think our Patreon supporter of the day, and I
[29:48] Speaker 1: want to thank for a back of the cat Lady
