About this listen

Originally Aired: December 5, 1952

When insurance investigator Johnny Dollar agrees to fill in at a colleague’s office in New York, he expects a quiet stint—until a nurse bursts in with a plea for help. Her employer, Dr. James Clayton, claims his life has been threatened by a violent and unstable man named Benjamin Harmon. But what begins as a simple protection matter quickly turns into a tangled web of deceit and murder. As Dollar digs deeper, he uncovers a forbidden love affair, a faked patient history, and an elaborate plan for justifiable homicide. But the twist comes when the wrong man winds up dead, and the prime suspect may actually be the victim of a deeper betrayal. With layers of passion, manipulation, and heartbreak, this emotionally charged episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar explores how far people will go for love—and how much further for revenge.
